Wormhole are emerging from Baltimore’s underground with a new album. ‘Almost Human’ takes the band’s homemade tech slam to the next level.

God is going on vacation. Not only are BLACK TUSK working on a new album, they’re bringing good times and mutilation to eight U.S. cities this fall.
PROFANATICA have a reputation to uphold. They’ve been one of the nastiest bands in America since the early ’90s, when they were playing the backroom of a Chinese restaurant alongside Gorophobia, Immolation and Incantation. Led by drummer Paul Ledney, these heretics have spread sin and spewed bile since the dawn of black metal’s creation. Today, they’re returning from their crypt with a new album that’s so blasphemous, you just might lose your head.

New Noise gave the album four stars for bridging the gap between the spirituality of black metal and the abrasiveness of thrash, death metal and hard rock.
WORMHOLE play by their own rules. When they’re not schooling fools at Nintendo or throwing on the odd Saturday morning cartoon, the band are out scrambling brains with a homemade combo slam of brutal, technical death metal. Or, as they call it, tech slam. For the past eight years, they’ve been fine-tuning their signature moves both in and outside of Baltimore. Now, with ‘Almost Human’, they’re ready to erupt from the underground.
ALKALOID are mad scientists. With each album, the extreme metal concocters have poked and prodded at mysterious phenomena both of this world and far beyond. They’ve written a song about what lies beneath the Antarctic crust, as well as an ongoing saga about a galactic civilization that ascends to a god-like-level of domination.

DESTROYER 666 won’t slow down. K.K. and his band of black thrash bullies rose out of Australia back in the early ’90s with the triumphant, blistering speed of a phoenix. Despite several lineup changes, they’ve been hammering out lean, mean blackened thrash metal ever since. Their last album came out just at the end of 2022 and it served as yet another ass-kicking reminder that these burly Aussies will never surrender to anyone’s bullshit.
HEILUNG are bringing their acclaimed live ritual to 10 U.S. cities this fall. Most they’ve never played before, including South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, New Orleans and Missouri – while others will be welcoming back the pounding, rhythmic, Nordic collective at larger venues.
