FROM OPETH: 

 

“That track was scary to play live at first. Most of our songs are challenging, I suppose, and this one is no exception. I believe we all love playing this one. There are a myriad of details that could go wrong though, but it’s fun. It keeps you on your toes. And of course, then there’s Ian Anderson’s narrations, which is the only thing in our set that isn’t ”live". Since we don’t play to a click-track, it’s dragging or pushing depending on the tempo of the evening. Again, it’s fun and I love the unforeseeable character of this song in a live setting. That’s a bit odd since I normally want to feel completely secure and really know what I’m doing. I generally don’t like surprises on stage.” Mikael Åkerfeldt

Brazilian Thrash Metal band DEATHRAISER, have just launched the 2nd advance single "One Step to the Grave", in form of a lyric-video, of what will be their 2nd full-length album entitled "Forged in Hatred" which will see the light next January 22nd, 2026 through XTREEM MUSIC on CD, 12"LP Cassette & Digital formats.
Pre-order Digital here: http://xtreemmusic.bandcamp.com
DEATHRAISER was formed in 2006 under the name Mercilless, delivering a direct and aggressive Thrash Metal assault that quickly began circulating through the Brazilian underground. After releasing their demo "Possessed by Thrash" (2007), the band expanded their live activity across southeastern Brazil. Their major breakthrough came in 2011 with the debut album "Violent Aggression", now under the name DEATHRAISER and released by Xtreem Music. The record gained international exposure, was reissued in several formats, and allowed the band to tour almost all Brazilian states, sharing stages with international acts and appearing at notable festivals. In 2013, the music video for “Terminal Disease” surpassed 100,000 views on YouTube, earning the band further visibility in specialized metal media.
Although the band kept a low profile over the following decade, they never disbanded. In 2024, they resumed activity to compose their second album, "Forged in Hatred", recorded during the first half of 2025 and set for release in January 2026 once again through Xtreem Music. This new work reflects a clear musical maturity which, while remaining faithful to their aggressive Thrash Metal identity, offers a more dynamic and enjoyable sound—marking DEATHRAISER’s return with an album poised to become another major milestone in their career.
Tracklist for "Forged in Hatred":
1. Severe Atrocity
2. Primitive Medicine
3. Everything Dies
4. Corporation Parasite
5. Empire of Ignorance
6. Symphony of Violence (Instrumental)
7. Toxic Legacy
8. One Step to the Grave
9. Dead Generation
Release date for "Forged in Hatred" will be January 22nd, 2026 through Xtreem Music on CD, 12"LP Cassette & Digital formats.

FROM PARTY CANNON: 

 

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
SUBJECTED TO A PARTYING EP - CD/VINYL/N64
On March 27th, Scotland's favorite brutal party slam band Party Cannon will release their new EP, Subjected To A Partying, via Unique Leader Records. For a preview of Subjected To A Partying, the video for new single "Human Slime (Live at Obscene Extreme 2025)" – taken from the "N64" game cartridge edition (see below for details) – can be seen here:
Party Cannon bassist Clankenstein states: "We are going where no slamming death metal band has gone before – Nintendo 64.
That's right, it's time to get N or get out. To celebrate Daryl 'The Frogman' Boyce's first release as our new vocalist, we decided to make it something truly special, and there's nothing more special than a console that's lifespan ended in 2001. Vominic Stonebones painstakingly designed and ported the cartridge himself. The Frogman sounds like unfettered pressurized sewerage pouring all over these tracks, and we couldn't be happier with how disgusting these vocals are, it's a new era of Party Slam.
"It's been a mental year for Party Cannon – played every festival ever, toured non-stop, new vocalist, the official addition of a skull man to the band – so we wanted to give you all a taste of the new low the band has sunk to rather than making you wait 7 years for a new album (again).
"We took a slightly different approach to writing this EP, we distilled our sound down to its four main components– slam, goregrind, early 2000s brutal death metal, and NYDM – and wrote a song that focused on each of those styles while still retaining the Party Slam sound. So one song is slam focused, one is goregrind etc. As a spicy treat, we also invited some of our friends to join in on the dumbassery – the EP features remixes from low IQ legends Kmac2021, Frontierer and Ritual Studio.
"As a bonus, we've released the live video of 'Human Slime' at Obscene Extreme 2025 on the Unique Leader Youtube channel today. I do not believe you will find a more debauched or IQ damaging live video anytime soon. You may wish to wear to goggles while watching it.
"See you all on the road this year, big things coming soon, let me borrow your amp."
Subjected To A Partying track-listing
1. Parisian Bedbug
2. Thirst Trap
3. High Tariff Behaviour

FROM EXODUS: 

 

Today's the Day!
We decided to go hard with the lead off single, '3111'. The song is about the narco killings in Juarez, and '3111' is the estimated number of murders for 2010 alone."
GOLIATH
“Are we excited for this record? That’s an understatement. We put everything we had into this record
(and it’s 80 percent complete follow up, but we’ll save that conversation for another day!) and it’s one
of our proudest accomplishments. Wildly collaborative, the most band centric album to date with four songs written by Lee, lyrics by Gary, Rob, Lee and Tom, and just killer all the way around. The time to let the monster loose is coming! Bow Down!”
Pre-Order Goliath & Listen to "3111" now: http://lnk.to/Exodus-Goliath
Emerging hungrier than ever in 2026, with Goliath, EXODUS reinforces their eternal foothold at the top of thrash metal's hierarchy with 10 of their most diverse, anthemic emissions to date. Further fueled by the widely embraced return of iconic late-era frontman Rob Dukes – first appearing on 2005’s Shovel HeadedKill Machine – the album boasts what the band describes as the performance of his life. Goliath is EXODUS’ most collaborative record in their four decade-plus history, featuring songs written by several band members and guest contributions from Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and violinist Katie Jacoby.

ITP V.026 WORLD APOCALYPSE: OGLALA SIOUX TRIBE MEMBERS DETAINED BY ICE

 May be an image of text

 

 

 

 Unfortunately, Native American tribe members have been taken from their reservations and detained by ICE (IMMIGRATION, CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT) in Minnesota.  

 

ITP V.026 EDITORS NOTE: 

The irony of Native Americans being detained by ICE is ridiculous and  racist... Native Americans founded and cultivated the "U.S.A. long before Philosopher Columbus came and settled here. There must be some mistake by ICE.  

Native 

 

 FROM STANDING BEAR NETWORK: 

I’ve been sitting with this.
Because when Indigenous people say someone has been taken,
we don’t hear that with modern ears alone.
We hear it with ancestral memory.
Tribal leaders say Lakota men were taken by ICE in Minnesota.
They say one came home.
They say others are still held.
And the government says they can’t confirm.
But confirmation has never been the measure of truth for our people.
Truth lives in families asking questions.
Truth lives in leaders making calls that shouldn’t have to be made.
Truth lives in that quiet space where fear settles before answers arrive.
I’m not here to accuse.
I’m not here to speculate.
I’m here to say this:
Indigenous people are not foreigners on their own land.
And history demands that we pay attention when the old patterns start to move again.
So I’m watching.
I’m listening.
And I’m standing in that place between patience and responsibility—
where clarity matters, and silence is no longer an option.
Ekwa. And so it continues.

FROM LAKOTA PEOPLES LAW PROJECT: 

 

They killed an innocent woman in broad daylight—to send a message. Chase warns that escalating force is meant to provoke chaos and civil disorder. Resisting that provocation requires extraordinary restraint, patience, and spiritual strength in the face of deliberate intimidation. Be prepared.
Lakota Law and Sacred Defense Fund Executive Director Chase Iron Eyes appeared live from Minneapolis on Native Roots Radio today to address the ongoing situation with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) operations there. These actions, often undertaken by armed and undertrained employees of the federal government agency, are leading to arrests of tribal and U.S. citizens, increased violence, and a profound lack of safety in the community. Be prepared.

 

 American Indian Movement (AIM) patrols have returned amid rising tensions in Minnesota with ICE. Nearly 100 volunteers are helping watch over elders and community members as federal agents outnumber local police and confrontations continue to draw protests and legal action.
