Image
New Jersey melodic metal outfit Dying Light has announced their upcoming independent full-length album, The Wicked Crow , scheduled for release on April 23, 2027.

Formed in 2020, the band's current lineup features vocalist Jeff Ross, guitarists Jim Haldenwang and Chris Fritz, drummer Shaun Dilliplane, and bassist Jake Whittaker.

On the narrative behind the new single "Dust," Dying Light comments: “The lyrics paint a tense, cinematic scene centered on a person holding lethal power in a moment of emotional emptiness. An emotional plea gives way to a tense exchange. The victim recognizes the assailant as an empty vessel but also recognizes that out...

(Muck Pool News) "Extermination Day" Drop New Single And Video "Forty Miles Of Bad Road" (Hoss Rock)

Image
Minneapolis Hoss Rock outfit Extermination Day has released “Fill the Swamp,” the new single and official video from their upcoming album, Forty Miles of Bad Road , arriving November 27, 2026, via Argonauta Records. The record will be available on CD, deluxe colored vinyl, and digital formats. The track follows their previous single, “Ruse Cycle,” and targets political corruption, wealth, and systemic hypocrisy. The band comments: “This song is directed at a current US administration’s cabinet member; people can listen and take a guess as to who it is. More broadly, the theme of the song is about how wealth corrupts and how the US government is full of charlatans who promised to ‘drain the swamp’ and instead ended up filling it.” The band blends elements of doom metal, punk, hard rock, and garage rock. The band adds: “Forty Miles of Bad Road represents the path we are on as a species and our disdain towards employment, police, the government, war, and the state of the world in genera...

(BOG REVIEW) "Dämmerung" - "Son of the Mourning Star" (BLACK METAL) (RELEASED NOVEMBER 27TH)

Image
1. Ares Rising The drum count and riff build to the first drop are sick, and the music has an epic feel already. There are riff drops that inject a solid cinematic quality, which had Bog visualizing the vocalist and band performing while molten rocks and magma are spat into the air to rain down the wrath of Ares. The syncs are tight, and it's nice to hear solid drums that aren't too low. The frequencies are aligned tightly and sound balanced. This would be a sick track to drop in a live set, but be careful of the magma, because we would probably need some insurance worthy of the grand mythological scale. The outro features bullets, possibly tanks rolling along on treads , shells, and more to emphasize Ares, the God of War. It's a powerful opening to "Son Of The Morning Star." 2. Burn With Me In Hell Track 1 transitioned smoothly for "Burn With Me In Hell" to drop in with its intro, which sounds like tanks rolling again with explosions , gunfire...

(BOG REVIEW) "HEADLESS HUNTER" - "HERETICAL" (CROSSOVER/THRASH) (RELEASED OCTOBER 16TH)

Image
F*-c-k-, Bog! F*-c-k-, f*-c-k-, f*-c-k-eth! Ok, Heretical,  straight-up jump the f*-c-k- in the muck pits. Let’s get slayed, beautiful sewer stencher mosh! Bog felt like he was on his dirt bike doing f*-c-k-off whips and jumps over mounds. Bog was reminded of the time when daddy Bog would say to him, “Get down, get down ya f*-c-k-,” when lil Bog was jumping overly excited at his feet. Ok, should we get straight to it, none of that academic thesis bullshit like some f*-c-k- is wanting to prove the existence of a demonic fart in a crypt. Would you like to have the complete shit kicked out of your ears? If so, Heretical does exactly that. Let’s describe the feeling. You know when you’re in a shitty club, and they will not play anything you ask for. Magically, at the end of the night, the track you asked for 5 hours ago appears. It’s a f*c-k-i-n-g sprint to get on the floor and sweat your skin off for about 3–5 minutes. This is a whole album of that feeling. The riffs are nasty, the v...

(BOG REVIEW) "SOLIMPULSE" - "TIDEFALL" (POST METAL/ROCK, RELEASED NOVEMBER 20TH)

Image
Bog really does wish there was much more time to deep dive SOLIMPULSE by Serhii Lykhotvor , but what we can tell you is that it is very beautifully written music. The intro patiently builds with heartfelt emotion clear to hear, and it takes hold of the ears, leaving you on the journey waiting to see what happens next. Y'all, the tracks have that quality about them. It's really chill and peaceful, so it's not for those that want to jump through a door. If you are looking for something emotive, mystical, and capable of taking the mind on a long, relaxing venture, then this is where you want to be. Definitely music for self-reflection too. Standouts: Cinematic composition ; feels and sounds like a score to an epic film or a pivotal point in a series. Yulia Lykhotvor of Sidus Atrum's vocal structure on "No Horizon" , which is a slow, haunting track with a serene harmony. Guitar notes support this further and continue with the riff drop. Incredible time, lab...
