featuring IRK , THE CYCLIST CONSPIRACY , The Lunar Effect , ELECTRIC CITIZEN , SANDRIDER , DEAD HEAT , Agriculture , KARITI , DEFIGUREMENT , WDNHF , SOFTSUN and Monuments in Ruin EP284 

Let's get started. 

The Seeing House sees IRK taking their already rambunctious sound to even more explosive sonic territory. Ten tracks showcase the trio’s abrasive and rhythm-heavy sound, balancing the technical intensity of mathcore with the raw energy of noise rock to create a distinctive brand of angular, unpredictable music. Fans of Chat Pile, Prostitute, The Jesus Lizard, Cherubs, These Arms Are Snakes, KEN Mode, and even Meshuggah must hear IRK. 

 

Belgrade, Serbia's avant-garde rock and world music defenders THE CYCLIST CONSPIRACY announce the release of their new full-length "Back to Hermetics and Martial Arts Vol.1” this November 14th on Subsound Records, and present the hypnotic first track "Calice dei Fantasmi".

Ohio-based 70s heavy and psych rock purveyors ELECTRIC CITIZEN have released a new video taken from their fourth studio album "EC4", released this summer on Heavy Psych Sounds. The band recently announced a full US tour in support of the album, including shows alongside High On Fire, Kadabra and Earth Tongue.

 

Following a record breaking Redux Kickstarter campaign, the first single taken from the forthcoming MER Redux Series release "The Downward Spiral Redux" is ready to be unleashed: Seattle, WA grunge metal trio SANDRIDER present their hard-hitting take on the NINE INCH NAILS classic 'March of the Pigs'. This highly anticipated new Redux Series installment is scheduled for release on November 28, 2025.

 

“By My Will” is the latest single from West Coast crossover behemoths DEAD HEAT. The riotous new hymn comes off the band’s Process Of Elimination full-length, slated to drop on October 10th on Metal Blade Records!

Agriculture return with a new single: “Dan’s Love Song.” This track reveals a quieter, more melodic side of the band. Emotive and layered, it pulls back from the full intensity of earlier singles while maintaining the spirit of their ecstatic approach to heavy music. It is the latest piece from The Spiritual Sound, their upcoming album on The Flenser which is out October 3rd.

 

KARITI (карити) – meaning “to mourn the dead” in church Slavonic – is the emotional and creative outlet of Ekaterina, a Russian-born poet and songwriter based in Italy. On November 7th, KARITI will release her latest full-length, Still Life, through Lay Bare Recordings.

"Open Veins/Visceral Tapestry” is the newest burst of explosive auditory fusion from extreme music abomination DEFIGUREMENT. The song marks the latest warning shot from the band as they prepare to deploy the entire arsenal of their debut LP, Endbryo, through Nefarious Industries in October.

 

WDNHF, the solo project of High Fighter and ex-Pyogenesis drummer Thomas Wildelau, has officially released its debut album Consideration this past weekend! Alongside the album launch, WDNHF (pronounced: Weidenhof) revealed a brand-new video for the track “To Put Something In Its True Light” — a song driven by hypnotic spheres and atmospheric textures, accompanied by a clip that reflects on the fine line between illumination and deception.

 

Californian and Norwegian shoegaze and post-rock duo SOFTSUN share a dreamy new track and video taken from their forthcoming sophomore full-length "Eternal Sunrise" on November 7th, and present the first track "A Hundred And Sixteen" today.
