Death Angel Release New Single “The Never Was”
5.11.2026
Death Angel have released a new single, “The Never Was”, with an official lyric visualizer. The Bay Area thrash metal veterans are preparing for international touring, including Europe and Australia, and will close the year with their annual holiday shows.
Vocalist Mark Osegueda says the lyrics target self-centred people who make every conversation, tragedy or even someone else’s success or death about themselves. Most never realise they do it, and social media gives them a bigger platform than ever. He calls the song the thrash metal “bastard spawn” of Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain”, inspired by a couple of real people.
The visualizer features original drawings and video production by Tamara Llenas of Aimed & Framed. The single cover is by Mark Richards.

Cutterred Flesh Unveil “Le Horla” Video Ahead of New Album
3.11.2026
Czech death metal band Cutterred Flesh have released a video for “Le Horla” from their upcoming album “The Shapes of Hidden Malice”, out on 13 November.
The song draws on Guy de Maupassant’s 1887 psychological horror story of the same name. It follows a mind collapsing under an unseen presence that slowly erodes sanity, identity and free will.
The album’s ten tracks each adapt a different work of horror literature, spanning countries, cultures and centuries, and each explores a different mechanism of fear.
Tracklist:
- The Mad Farmstead
- Le Horla
- The King in Yellow
- The Willows
- Mimi-Nashi-Hōichi
- The Feather Pillow
- The Letter U
- The Painted Skin
- The Colour Out of Space
- Berenice

Jiří Rain Shares “Tvář”, Second Single from Acoustic Solo Debut
6.11.2026
Jiří Rain, known from Citron, Sebastien and Rockopera Praha productions, has released “Tvář”, the second single from his debut solo album “Acoustica I”.
Rain carried the ballad in his head for years before it became part of Erazim. The project is built on a local legend about the last monk of Kuklov Monastery and deals with human weaknesses and the seven deadly sins. The lyrics wrestle with memories and the weight of old feelings and dreams.
Instead of Citron’s hard riffs, the album favours intimate moods, romance and personal stories. It focuses on human relationships and social issues, and also touches on the relationship between God and man.
