Hardcore heavyweights Hatebreed have officially been announced as the headliners for the Charleston, South Carolina stop of the Summer Slaughter Tour, set to take place on July 22 at the Charleston Music Hall. This marks a historic first: the band’s debut appearance on the tour that has long served as a proving ground for extreme metal’s most vicious names.

Poland’s extreme underground has just vomited forth one of its most promising new acts: Clairvoyance, whose debut full-length Chasm of Immurement is out now via Carbonized Records.

Formed in the shadow of Warsaw’s decaying industrial outskirts, Clairvoyance have honed a sound that’s as suffocating as it is serpentine, a furious blend of early Finnish death metal atmosphere with the raw ferocity of American pioneers. With Chasm of Immurement, the band deliver a bone-crushing statement that positions them as rightful heirs to a lineage of sonic horror.

Swedish death metal veterans Unleashed have officially announced the arrival of their fifteenth studio album, Fire Upon Your Lands, set for release on August 15, 2025, via Napalm Records.

It is with heavy hearts that we report that Phil Fasciana, founding guitarist of death metal pioneers Malevolent Creation, has been hospitalized in France due to a severe case of pneumonia.
