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.

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.

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!

Reissue. At the Gates formed in Gothenburg, 1990, and released 4 highly successful and influential studio albums before the band broke up in 1996, with members featuring in acts such as Cradle of Filth & The Haunted, before later reforming in 2007 for some successful reunion dates across the globe. All-in-all, At The Gates was one of the finest bands to explode out of their native Swedish death metal scene. The debut album 'The Red In The Sky Is Ours' was released in 1992 on Peaceville/Deaf to widespread acclaim; the inclusion of violin sounds ensuring that the album scored points for originality, and was innovatively offset by the intensely brutal yet melodic sound, with standout track 'Kingdom Gone' becoming a universal favourite. 'The Red in the Sky is Ours' is a raw slab of extremity with intense aggression and some highly intricate melodic arrangements, considered a genre classic by many.

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."

August Burns Red’s tenth full-length Season of Surrender sees them craft an album that effortlessly integrates the brutal breakdowns of their classic era with instrumental flourishes. “This album is rooted in traditional August Burns Red and I think it’s the heaviest album we’ve written in a long time,” explains vocalist Jake Luhrs. From the technical mastery of “Behemoth” to the unbridled aggression of “Legions” (which features The Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica), Season of Surrender sees August Burns Red further developing their sonic identity while staying true to the band’s roots as metalcore trailblazers.
