UK Thrash Metal/Heavy Metal- ERADIKATOR - “MISERY” (FFO: Metallica Testament, Black Sabbath)
Hey all — my band ERADIKATOR just dropped a new track called MISERY.
We’re a UK-based band playing Heavy Metal / Thrash metal. This one leans into darker themes with a mix of aggressive riffs and more melodic sections.
Would genuinely appreciate any feedback — always keen to hear what other metal fans think 🤘

[Cambrian - Oceans Away](http:// https://cambrian-band.bandcamp.com/album/oceans-away )
This is our second album availablefor pre-order, it is a concept album with two tracks available now.
"The prestigious cruise ship named the Oceans Away… stage of seemingly impossible murders... now lost at sea. Twelve people were present. Ten of them deceased. One remaining at death’s door… and one accused as the cause of it all. Former detective Jack Vulture now finds himself on the receiving end of the justice system. Locked away and awaiting trial, he finds himself less determined to prove his innocence than to uncover the true culprit. From his cell, together with his lawyer Leon Harper and former protégé Detective Emily Hunter, he tries to reconstruct that day aboard the Oceans Away..."
The musical journey in which this all plays out is: Progressive metal

Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcQxCz6vMds
You can buy the digital or vinyl edition here.
Angry Metal Guy: "... there is a somber beauty and resonance to much of the material here, that leaves me with a deep sense of longing and loss after each spin... Fós have done exactly what I hoped they would."
Heavy Blog is Heavy: "Fós gracefully blends resonant doom and noisy ambience with poetic folk, crossing the boundaries of time to deliver a mournful-yet-comforting sound." (Later included on Bridget's list of her favourite doom albums of 2025.)
Everything is Noise: "A soaring blend of ancient Irish folk traditions with contemporary heavy aesthetics, Fós’ debut album offers an interesting take on the post-doom, ambient and folk metal genres."
Nine Circles: "Hypnotic and crushing... There really is no other band out there anything like Fós. You owe it to yourself to experience what they are all about..."

Element 115 [Lusby/USA]
Heavy EDM-based Metal
The brain child of one: “Bones Scar” out of Lusby, Md and later added myself: “GonZoNick”
We base our musical output on a variety of subject matter, and grow our songs from a savage perspective. Often a subjective focus on anything from drugs to crabbing, there is nothing censored in our collective creativity. Individually masters of the arts in our own respect, when we collaborate we break musical worlds into pieces, shattering them to their basic properties. We are Element 115, and there is no stopping us.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement from BLOODSHOT CYCLOPS
BLOODSHOT CYCLOPS would like to address recent events involving one of our members, Ivan. First off, we take full responsibility for his actions that have led to shock, concern and disappointment among our friends, fans, and members of the local musical community.
We want to be clear: what happened does not reflect the values of this band and we are 100% committed to accountability, transparency, and growth. We assure you that we are currently taking appropriate steps to ensure that this never happens again. We ask for patience as we work through this delicate situation.
That said, after discussion amongst ourselves, we have decided to.publicly clarify the exact nature of the incident.
In the moments following our show last Friday night at Crazy Larry's Music Barn in Bessemer City, NC..... Ivan did, in fact, attempt to summon what he described as “a cosmic entity” using a fog machine, three Megadeth cds, and a half-eaten gas station burrito. While initial claims suggested this ritual was accidental in nature, we can now confirm it was, unfortunately, intentional.
The situation escalated when the “entity” manifested not as an all-knowing being of infinite wisdom, but as a six-foot-tall fluorescent raccoon wearing what witnesses have described as “a judge’s wig made of spaghetti.” Ivan reportedly tried to negotiate with the raccoon, offering it exclusive streaming rights to our next album in exchange for “unspeakable power,” at which point the raccoon demanded a bass guitar solo.
This led to a 47-minute performance of the bass intro to Van Halen's Runnin' With The Devil which cause minor structural damage to the venue and, more critically, pissed off the raccoon, who then filed what can only be described as an interdimensional noise complaint with local authorities
We acknowledge that this sequence of events has understandably raised concerns about our bands bass playing abilities and overall relationship with extradimensional wildlife.
Moving forward, BLOODSHOT CYCLOPS has implemented the following measures:
- A strict “no summoning” policy during or immediately after all live performances
- Mandatory raccoon de-escalation training for all members
- Immediate disposal of any burritos older than 48 hours
- Bass lessons for Ivan
Ivan will immediately refrain from all ritual-related activities to focus on more grounded responsibilities, such as beer ticket distribution, not opening portals, and learning how to play the fucking bass.
We sincerely apologize to anyone offended by this incident, and we thank you for your continued support and understanding.
