For over two decades, 100 Demons have stood as one of hardcore’s most uncompromising forces — a band built on raw conviction and a sound that refuses to be boxed in. With Embrace the Black Light, their long-awaited third album on Closed Casket Activities, Connecticut’s own deliver twelve tracks that push the boundaries even further.
Recorded and fully realized within the walls of Silver Bullet Studios in Burlington, Connecticut, Embrace the Black Light marks a new chapter in the 100 Demons story — one forged with patience, intention, and an ear toward something lasting. Written by Pete Morcey, Rich Rosa, Rick Brayall and Jeremy Braddock, alongside Sean Martin rejoining the group. Produced and recorded by Greg Thomas and engineered alongside Chris Teti, the album was built brick by brick over the course of 2025, allowing each song to breathe and find its shape. The result is the most fully realized record of their discography.
“Writing and recording this last record was an experience like no other. We were able to take our time and carefully craft every single song on this release. Working with Greg Thomas and Chris Teti at Silver Bullet made us realize we would not have been able to do this record without them. And with the guidance of Justin from Closed Casket Activities, we know they brought out the best of us on every level.” - Pete Morcey, Vocals
The album opens without losing any of the band’s signature ferocity. Elsewhere, Embrace the Black Light stretches without losing its footing, adding texture and dimension to an album that earns every moment of its runtime. Mastered by Will Putney of Graphic Nature Audio and featuring the artwork of James Bousema, with guest vocals from Twitching Tongues/God’s Hate members Colin Young and Taylor Young.
Embrace the Black Light is 100 Demons at their most deliberate and their most dangerous.

Alcest took an audible step towards their black metal roots with their sophomore full-length "Écailles de Lune" ("Moon Scales") without losing any of the trademarks that had evolved on their debut album "Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde". The French post-black metal pioneers created a sound of lucent, dreamlike quality and otherworldly beauty that has equally defined them and been refined by them ever since.In musical terms, Alcest amalgamate calm, semi-acoustic passages, repetitive, hypnotic patterns, and captivating melodies with outbursts of harsh riffing and aggressive drumming. The same contrasting and complementing effect is used by band founder and guitarist Neige for his vocals. Clean singing that is morphing back and forth between a warm and darker tone and a gentle higher pitch occasionally gets swept aside by despairing shrieks and furious black voices - only to flowingly return like an unstoppable tide. "For this album, I was especially inspired by the sea, the energy, and the exaltation that you can feel when you sit in front of the ocean at night," Neige explained about "Écailles de Lune". "The sea appears terribly fascinating, full of secrets, beautiful and frightening at the same time."Alcest's music has received many labels over the years including post-black metal, post-rock, shoegaze, and blackgaze to name some of the more commonly found terms. Yet whatever the band originally from Avignon and now based with Neige in Paris is called, their sound has always remained unique. Another typical element of their albums is a concept or theme that runs through the songs. On "Écailles de Lune" it is a tale of transformation. "This album's story is not a metaphor for death as it might appear to be", says Neige. "To me, it is about a man who decides to literally leave one world for another. It can rather be seen as a passage to another reality or another state of existence." For those, who want to follow in those footsteps and journey to another place, Alcest offer a key. Just close your eyes and listen to "Écailles de Lune" and you will be taken far away to a world of musical wonders and haunting beauty - but beware, even roses of the otherworld have thorns.

Released in 2007, Alcest's debut album, "Souvenirs d'un autre monde", marks the starting point of the band's extraordinary career. With the release of "Souvenirs d'un autre monde", Alcest mastermind Neige forged a luminous new sound that floats on the fringes of metal, yet incorporates emotions of euphoria, bliss and nostalgia. The singer and multi-instrumentalist dedicated the album to his childhood memories of experiences in a spiritual otherworld; personal themes that would become conceptual cornerstones of subsequent Alcest albums. "Souvenirs..." became known as one of the fundamental releases of the Blackgaze / Post-Black Metal genre, a record that continually influences countless other bands in it's wake.

Originally recorded and released in 1987, Chariots of Iron built upon Apostle's early demo (1984) and White Metal (1985) foundation with greater musical range (faster tempos and added classical elements), refined production, and lyrical depth.Distributed only through the underground tape network of the late '80s, the album revealed Apostle's growing sophistication and spiritual intensity. Tracks such as "Sword & Shield," "Lake of Fire," and "Lamb of God" combine melodic guitar work, anthemic choruses, and bold biblical imagery-calling listeners to perseverance and spiritual courage. The fiery, explosive heavy metal on Chariots of Iron reflects the armored tank artwork that adorns the cover of this reissue, while the message inside faithfully communicates the unconditional love of God for a broken world.Unavailable for decades and rarely heard outside small circles of collectors, Chariots of Iron now receives it's first official Vinyl release as part of the Retroactive Records Metal Icon Series. Limited to just 200 units. Remastered by Rob Colwell and featuring expanded packaging with contextual notes (12x12 full color insert), this release restores one of Christian metal's best-kept secrets-a powerful reminder of why Apostle's music continues to inspire believers and metal fans alike. For fans of Yngwie Malmsteen, Judas Priest, Sacred Warrior, Stryper, Messiah Prophet and Paradox!

Originally recorded in 1985 and released independently on cassette, White Metal captured Apostle at their most raw and determined. From the opening track, Apostle, showcasing Iron Maiden-esque galloping instrumental heavy metal, to the anthemic vocals of "Born Again," Apostle delivers with power, strength, and authority throughout. At a time when Christian metal was just beginning to find it's voice, Apostle stood out for their conviction and authenticity - playing everywhere from churches and youth centers to clubs and open-air festivals. The album's fiery guitar work and straight-ahead lyrics reflected the heart of guitarist and vocalist Matt Harding, who viewed heavy metal not as rebellion, but as a vehicle for redemption.This reissue brings White Metal to Vinyl for the very first time, featuring the band's original 1984 demo EP as bonus tracks. Songs like "Overcomer," "The Teacher," and "He's the Power" showcase Apostle's earliest lineup and the unmistakable energy that would define their sound for decades. "Armageddon" is a must-hear iconic ripping guitar solo track in the vein of "Nagasaki" by Whitecross and "Eruption" by Van Halen!Fully remastered by Rob Colwell and restored with historical artwork and archival notes, White Metal is more than a reissue - it's the first official preservation of Apostle's origin story. Part of the exclusive Metal Icon Series collection, the Orange Vinyl comes with a 12x12 full color insert packed including everything music collectors crave. Limited to just 200 copies.

All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us celebrates 10 years since the release in 2016 with a newly remixed and remastered presentation, along with reimagined artwork. Recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden All Our Gods... is the heaviest and darkest work to which - frontman Sam Carter, bassist Ali Dean, guitarists Adam Christianson and Tom Searle, and the latter's twin brother drummer, Dan Searle have ever put their name to, both on and below it's surface. It is an album that challenges and progresses a genre long thought to have stagnated, and embraces it's inspirations at a time when many rock and metal bands seek to hide them in search of mainstream acceptance. It is also born from considered minds filled not by thoughts of being the biggest band in the world, but of making a difference. Architects are, for that reason, a band like few others; they are five young men who stand for something, and who possess an intelligence, awareness and spirit that inform the very fiber of their band. The quintet all practice a vegan lifestyle, tour with a consciousness about their footprint on the world, and who devote time and energies to environmental causes. The worldwide anger and disillusion encapsulated in All Our Gods... wrestles with contemplations of death, god and faith in search of some semblance of hope for a world increasingly consumed by fear, anger and confusion. This album is Architects statement of intent to the world, it is time to stand up, take notice and be counted.

After releasing their early EPs, My Angel (1991) and Constellation (1994), Norwegian avant-garde metal pioneers Arcturus unveiled their debut full-length album, Aspera Hiems Symfonia, in 1996. The band, named after the brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere, emerged from Norway's explosive black metal scene but quickly set themselves apart with their bold, experimental vision. The lineup for Aspera Hiems Symfonia featured prominent figures from the Norwegian extreme metal underground, including Garm (vocals, also of Ulver), Hellhammer (drums, known from Mayhem), and new additions Carl August Tidemann (guitar) and Hugh "Skoll" Mingay (bass, also of Ulver), replacing Samoth from the earlier EPs. This talented ensemble blended the raw intensity of black metal with progressive and avant-garde elements, creating a sound that was both haunting and innovative.Aspera Hiems Symfonia stands out for it's daring departure from traditional black metal. Piercing vocal shrieks coexist with eerie, operatic melodies, while Sverd's cinematic keyboards weave atmospheric tapestries. Tidemann's technical guitar solos add a layer of sophistication, and the rhythm section, driven by Hellhammer's relentless precision and Skoll's dynamic basslines, provides a solid yet adventurous foundation. This fusion of aggressive roots with progressive experimentation-marked by unconventional song structures and a theatrical flair-established Arcturus as trailblazers in the Oslo metal scene and beyond, cementing their legacy as progressive innovators.

“Each Armored Saint record, to me, is like a new skin for the band, a different chapter. I don't think we've ever repeated ourselves,” states bassist Joey Vera. “Every album has been pretty different from the previous one, a snapshot in time. In 2026, Emotion Factory Reset is where our heads are at.”“When we start coming up with songs, I always say we can do whatever we want,” vocalist John Bush says. “Use all our influences through the years, diverse music that we listen to and love, and let that seep in and bring something new out of us. It leads to something more adventurous.”Emotion Factory Reset, the lineup’s ninth full-length studio album since 1984’s March of the Saint, bears out his words, the LP a resurrection of sorts, a tearing down and a rebuilding in 11 songs of diverse musicality and lyrical themes. Produced, as were the previous four albums, by bassist Joey Vera and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour) Emotion Factory Reset finds the quintet challenging themselves. Songs like “Close to the Bone,” “Hit a Moonshot” and “Every Man-Any Man” has Saint honoring their past as one of the most respected and recognizable bands in heavy music while making forward-thinking music rooted in the present.

With their seventh full-length, "Death Doom Punks", Arroganz deliver exactly what the title promises: the brutality of old school death metal meets the attitude and unpolished directness of punk. This album pulls no punches and hits straight into the gut and face. The German trio has amplified 15 years of experience into a record that comes with their trademark sound but is confident and mature both in songwriting and storytelling. On "Death Doom Punks", Arroganz are never afraid to let their influences shine through as they obviously made them their own. Driven by a heavy pumping bass and relentlessly whipped drum skins, the trio stacks massive riffs on top of each other and finishes any remaining resistance off with a barrage of deep-throated growls. Whatever Arroganz are doing, it always comes out at 100% while never forgetting the original roots in old school death metal. The trio's unwillingness to compromise has been hailed by many and earned them the hate of others - about which they do not give the slightest... as authenticity and honesty in every aspect are their key traits. With Arroganz what you see and hear is what you get, and "Death Doom Punks" is not just the album title but also a declaration of allegiance and intent. Get on board, bang your head, slam and rage - or get out!

The End is Not the End is undeniably Atreyu's heaviest and most adventurous album ever. "We realized what made Atreyu great in the beginning was that we didn't sound like anyone else," frontman Brandon Saller explains. "We didn't really make sense anywhere. We weren't an emo band, a metal band, a punk band - but somehow it all worked. We kind of just carved our own path." Unburdened by false restrictions about anything sounding "too heavy" or "too pop," ATREYU remains a creative beacon of hope for those shaken by the suggestion that "rock is dead." They've entered the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 more than once, and two of their albums are certified gold. Produced by Matt Pauling, Atreyu's tenth album is vibrant, inventive, and beautifully aggressive. "It's our heaviest, most metal record we've made," Saller points out. "But it's also the biggest musical journey we've taken in years."

Pink vinyl. The West Coast's contribution to hardcore punk is undeniable. That tradition of aggression, passion, and scrappy melodicism continues with The Barbarians of California, an engaging new manifestation of iconoclastic spirit and true bombast. 2024 debut album, And Now I'm Just Gnashing My Teeth was celebrated with a high-energy show at the iconic Troubadour in Los Angeles, cementing their place in the hardcore scene's next chapter.
Tracklist:
The Library
No Sir I Won't Wear Your Jacket (Feat. Rick Rodney of Strife)
The Walrus
Bazooka
Dopamine Prophecy
Three Letters (Feat. Tim McIlrath of Rise Against)
Where Are the Punks?!?!
By the Time I Get to Mexico
