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.

Ohio’s 156/Silence return with From a Distance, their crushing new full-length and first release for Pure Noise Records, arriving September 4. Produced by Josh Schroeder (King 810, Lorna Shore, The Plot In You), the album expands on the breakout success of People Watching with a darker, more cinematic approach that balances punishing heaviness, eerie atmosphere, and emotional depth. Featuring guest appearances from Mike Hranica (The Devil Wears Prada) and Alex Reade (Make Them Suffer), From a Distance pulls influence from horror, prestige television, and retro game soundtracks while moving seamlessly between hard rock, experimental textures, and the band’s chaotic mathcore roots. Atmospheric, unpredictable, and unbound by genre, From a Distance pushes 156/Silence further into their own lane while cementing them as one of heavy music’s most fearless rising acts.

Infinitude's Passage marks the third full length statement from Portland's death metal seers Aenigmatum. Taking the intricate mastery of previous album Deconsecrate as a point of departure, the band's union of technical precision, dark melody and unrelenting force draw us ever further into a world where revelation and annihilation become indistinguishable. Sudden turns, fractured rhythms and spiraling harmonies color a landscape of seemingly elaborate complexity, yet Aenigmatum are serving a larger, deeper structure with an exacting sense of purpose and focus. Frenetic eruptions of speed give way to passages of melodious clarity and dissonant turbulence allowing the compositions to remain in constant motion and expand idiosyncratically upward and outward. Cerebral without sacrificing physical impact, majestic without surrendering menace and progressive without loosening it's vigorous command, Infinitude's Passage rejects easy categorization within death metal's exceedingly vast parameters. It's visceral impact, incandescent melody and aura of perpetual discovery places Aenigmatum at the threshold of the boundless.

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 CD 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 CD comes packaged in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet including everything music collectors crave. Limited to just 500 copies. For fans of Yngwie Malmsteen, Judas Priest, Sacred Warrior, Stryper, Messiah Prophet and Paradox!

“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.
