BLEED - Debut Full-Length Album via 20 Buck Spin - Video Clip revealed - Alternative Rock Metal from Dallas / Texas
 20 Buck Spin proudly announces the highly anticipated self-titled debut full-length of alternative rock / metal act BLEED, set for release on May 2nd 2025 on all formats.
"Bleed" was engineered and Mixed by Rubio N. in Fort Worth & Austin, TX and mastered by Jordan Richardson at Electric Barryland. The artwork was created by longtime Deftones / Linkin Park collaborator Frank Maddocks.
A video clip for the first single "Marathon" is available here: https://youtu.be/SEBMx8KnlY8
BLEED’s introductory EP "Somebody’s Closer" was initially self-released by the band through digital platforms in 2021. Despite no physical release at the time, the EP, invoking late 90s / early 00’s era alt rock / metal gained the Dallas, Texas-based band a lotta buzz with its gauzy distortion balancing tension and atmosphere, and via several mutual connections came to the attention of 20 Buck Spin. The label issued vinyl and cassette editions in 2022 bringing BLEED’s music to new audiences and wider attention. Since that time the anticipation for the band’s debut full length has built to fever pitch, and at long last it arrives as Spring heads into Summer.
BLEED’s self-titled LP maintains the melodic heaviness and tight song structures of the EP, while diving headfirst into the oceanic haze, pushing their sound into territory more immersive, relentless and hypnoticlly lush. Guitars surge and sway in stacked waves of gravitational angst, overdriven rhythms eccentrically pulsing beneath, and guitarist / singer Ryan Hughes’s voice floating in and out, sometimes distant and detached, sometimes cracked open with desperation. Lyrics move in fragments, alluding to themes of deep interntal struggle, coping mechanisms and hurting those you love most. It’s music that doesn’t so much demand attention as seeps straight into the bloodstream, the kind of album that endlessly loops in the back of the mind at 3 a.m.
Bold strides are taken right outta the gate to make the authenticity of BLEED’s universe more expansive in its inspirations and ambitions. There’s a confidence to the way BLEED let’s these songs unfold, they make their impact immediate and have no need to persist longer than necessary. The result is an album that feels massive yet intimate, brutal yet beautiful, familar yet singular. It doesn’t simply leave an impression, it lingers, reverberating long after the final notes have faded.
For fans of Deftones, Helmet, Hum, Failure, Narrow Head and Soul Blind!

TRIBUNAL - Second Album "In Penitence and Ruin" coming in April 2025 via 20 Buck Spin - Track Premiere
 20 Buck Spin proudly announces the searing new album of Gothic/Doom act TRIBUNAL, entitled "In Penitence and Ruin", set for release on April 18th 2025.
You can listen already to the first single "Armoured in Shadow" here: https://youtu.be/IVwyLv5r3F8
TRIBUNAL’s sophomore album is an elegy most grievous and forlorn, descending deeper into the solemn abyss of woe. 2023’s debut "The Weight of Remembrance" set a high bar for the Canadians becoming one of the year’s most notable and praised Doom releases, leading Decibel Mag to include the band’s new album in their annual list of most anticipated releases.
Conjured by the band’s new form as a fully fleshed out five-piece, ‘In Penitence and Ruin’ has a wider lens of cohesion and maturity weaving together the widow’s wail of doleful strings, chilling keys and percussion that tolls like the iron bell of fate. These elements ornament the monolithic foundation of crushing dirge and funereal melodies hewn from the marrow of sorrow itself. A conceptual piece, the songs form a cycle that ruminates on justice and punishment, centering on a guilty Penitent who cannot escape what they have done.
Like ivy upon the tombstone, "In Penitence And Ruin" winds slowly but inexorably towards spectral grandeur and eternal oblivion.
Cover artwork by Soren Mourne.
Tracklist:
1. Incarnadine
2. A Wound Unhealing
3. Angel of Mercy
4. The Sword of the Slain
5. Ruin
6. The Penitent

LEPER COLONY - New Lyric Video - Second Album "Those Of The Morbid" via Testimony Records
 German/Swedish death metallers LEPER COLONY have premiered another song from their upcoming second album "Those Of The Morbid", set for release on May 2nd 2025 (**new date / re-scheduled due to production issues**) via Testimony Records on CD, LP and in digital versions.
A lyric video for the track "Creature From The Deep" is available here: https://youtu.be/YXCUJIuYgoc
Guitarist Rogga Johansson comments: "Well, a full on Neanderthal groove is never wrong, if you ask me. And this is what you get as 'Creature From The Deep' opens, before moving into old school death metal territory. Heaviness is the trademark of this song and it has the perfect lyrics to go with it. The mighty megalodon hasn't had enough death metal lyrics made about it yet. By the way, when was the last time that you heard a jaw harp in a death metal song?"
To introduce the current members of LEPER COLONY to any self-respecting death metal connoisseur would be like carrying coals to Newcastle. Just in case, German vocalist Marc Crewe has long-established his name as the former frontman of MORGOTH, and later with INSIDIOUS DISEASE as well as with the band ASINHELL. Guitarist and bass player Rogga Johansson has left a massive mark on Swedish death metal in a host of bands including PAGANIZER, RIBSPREADER, and REVOLTING. WOMBBATH guitarist Håkan Stuvemark has taken over lead guitar and he was joined as a new member by British drummer Jon Rudin, who is well-known from MONSTROUS and DEAD SUN among several other death metal acts.

The band’s third full-length brings their music to a new level with an own personal sound which combines meditteranean atmospheres and nordic folk elements.

MALTUKA - Debut EP "Black Rite" via High Roller Records - Full Stream available
 Up-and-coming Norwegian thrashers MALTUKA have premiered their entire debut EP "Black Rite", officially out on High Roller Records on March 7th 2025.
You can listen to all tracks already now at this location: https://youtu.be/jI5sTuWrZ4I
Guitarist/singer Viljar Brunvoll and drummer Mats first collaborated in 2016/17, recording two EPs and playing several shows as members of Psykopath. When that band dissolved, the two continued working together on demos, which eventually gave birth to MALTUKA. With influences ranging from Metallica and Slayer across Nuclear Assault to Teutonic legends Sodom as well as MALTUKA’s corpse-painted countrymen Immortal, the members give the tried and tested thrash formula an individual twist. Lyrically, "Black Rite" explores spiritual and occult themes, adding depth and atmosphere to the music.
The EP’s cover art, which is based on a painting by Kim Diaz Holm (Sólstafir, Vreid), visually represents the dark themes of the songs. And while they serve as an introduction to MALTUKA’s sound, the group has ambitious plans for their future. “This EP showcases our heavier, more to-the-point style of songwriting,” Viljar comments. “Our eventual first album will be more dynamic, featuring a broader range of influences and sounds.”
With "Black Rite", MALTUKA make a bold statement, offering an original take on thrash metal while also celebrating its roots. The band is ready to make its mark on the global metal scene, and this is just the beginning.

TEASER SWEET - New Album "Night Stalker" in April 2025 through High Roller Records - Music Video Premiere
 Sweden's TEASER SWEET have revealed the first single from their upcoming fourth full-length album Night Stalker, coming on April 25th 2025 via High Roller Records.
A video clip for the track "Deep in the Woods" is available here: https://youtu.be/zeJGL8Jnpm0
Consisting of vocalist Therese Damberg, her brother Marcus Damberg on guitar, Hampus Steenberg on bass and Kent Svensson behind the drums, TEASER SWEET have already made some waves in the Swedish metal scene. They originally started out in 2013 and after recording a demo, they took to the stage and eventually released three albums and an EP: "Hit And Run" (2015), "In The Night" (EP, 2017), "Hypnotized" (2018) and "Monster" (2020). For the new album "Night Stalker" the band has inked a deal with High Roller Records.
Apart from being influenced by the music of Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Dio and even latter-day Europe, a song like “Deep in the Woods”, with its galloping bass work, owes a lot to Iron Maiden. Elsewhere, numbers such as “Cold is the Fire” and “Turn Me on” are also full of great hooks, making "Night Stalker" the band’s best album so far.
