Rome’s melodic death‑doom innovators Shores of Null have unleashed “Two Mountains,” the third single from their forthcoming album “Homesick,” out October 16th, 2026 via Dusktone. The track follows the previously released tracks “Son of the Tide” and “Bleed to Life,” offering yet another emotional and atmospheric record for fans to cherish.

“‘Two Mountains’ is probably the catchiest song we’ve ever written, and it has all the ingredients to become one of our live staples in the years to come. Its lyrics are inspired by the Legend of Maja… a story about a mother’s love and the unbearable pain of loss, but also about memory, belonging and the invisible bond we carry with the places that shaped us,” adds vocalist Davide Straccione.

The single recounts the ancient Abruzzese myth of Maja and her son Hermes, whose deaths became immortalized in the very mountains of the region, Gran Sasso and Majella, a landscape Straccione grew up with and continues to call home. The song’s soaring melodies and emotional weight reflect that connection, transforming folklore into a powerful modern metal narrative.

“Homesick” marks a new milestone for Shores of Null as an immersive, emotionally charged work that expands their sonic universe to follow their acclaimed discography, which includes “Quiescence,” “Black Drapes for Tomorrow,” “Beyond the Shores,” “The Loss of Beauty,” and the 2025 split album with Convocation, “Latitudes of Sorrow”.

The album’s ten tracks form a cohesive journey through longing, loss, trauma, belonging, and the complicated meaning of “home.” Musically, the record balances melodic death metal, doom, gothic rock, and blackened atmospheres, delivering some of the band’s heaviest moments alongside their most memorable melodies. Produced by Marco “Cinghio” Mastrobuono, “Homesick” features guest appearances by Natalie Koskinen (Shape of Despair), with vocals on “The Numbing Void,” and Shaun MacGowan (My Dying Bride), with violin on “Dreaming of a Scar” and “The Numbing Void”.

“Homesick is meant to be experienced as a whole… a record that moves through longing, loss, anger, vulnerability, and the need to find a place to belong to. At its core lies the idea of home as something deeply ambiguous: a place of comfort and belonging, but also of fear, pain, and memories we can never fully leave behind,” adds Straccione.

Recommended for fans of Paradise Lost, Amorphis, Swallow the Sun, Katatonia, and Borknagar, “Homesick” is available for pre-order (Vinyl, CD, Digital) at the following links:

0 Out Now! TRISKELYON New Cover Album “Metalmorphosis” Supercharges Timeless Hits Into Metal Fury

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – August 21, 2026

Out Now! TRISKELYON New Cover Album “Metalmorphosis” Supercharges Timeless Hits Into Metal Fury

Canada’s unstoppable metal force Triskelyon unleashes “Metalmorphosis,” a digital‑only barrage that reforges iconic rock and pop classics into a high‑octane blast of metallic fury. The album is now available on all major digital platforms as of August 21, 2026, via Moribund Records.

Founded in 2021 by guitarist and mastermind Geoff Waye (Category VI), Triskelyon has carved a fierce path through the underground with acclaimed singles and albums including “Downfall,” “Artificial Insanity,” “Shattered Elysium,” and “Maelstrom of Chaos.” With “Metalmorphosis,” the band pushes its creative boundaries further than ever, delivering a full‑length collection of crushing cover versions forged from the fires of thrash, speed, power, and traditional heavy metal.

Aptly titled, “Metalmorphosis” represents the complete metalization of timeless classics, each track reborn heavier, faster, darker, and more explosive. From the arena‑sized lift of Bryan Adams’ “Summer of ’69” to the brooding tension of Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” Triskelyon injects razor‑sharp riffing, thunderous rhythms, soaring vocals, and blistering solos into every song. Fan‑favorite covers return as well, including the band’s celebrated renditions of “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Major Tom (Coming Home),” “It Doesn’t Really Matter,” and “Nobody’s Business.”

Drawing from icons such as Tears for Fears, Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Men Without Hats, Men at Work, Platinum Blonde, Peter Schilling, and Bryan Adams, the album stands as both a tribute to the golden age of rock and pop and a declaration of Triskelyon’s limitless creative fire. Each track preserves the unforgettable hooks that made these songs legendary while amplifying them into full‑throttle metallic weapons.

More than a covers album, “Metalmorphosis” is a celebration of transformation through metal, a collision of nostalgia and aggression that proves Triskelyon can reshape any musical form into molten steel. As with previous releases, all songs were mixed and mastered by Michael Small, with album artwork by Ellim.

“anyone who enjoys metal cover versions will be very well served by “Metalmorphosis.”” – Hellfire Magazin

“thirty‑five minutes of carefree, thoroughly enjoyable fun.” – Metalhead.it (Metalmorphosis 2026)

“One of my favorite albums of the year” ~Brutally Delicious Podcast

““Hellbound Hellions” follows and is just a great tune. That scream in the beginning and I knew immediately that Pete Healey was back for another album with Waye. The last of the opening trio and it is a slayer. Killer thrash riffs and Healey’s soaring vocals and a really sick solo makes this one of my favorites on the album.4.5/5” – Metal Rules

“It’s refreshing, for once, to discover a thrash band that aren’t geared towards utter devastation but, rather, crafting a record that an audience can simply put on and vibe to. With more than forty-five minutes to work with, the band still stuck to their guns and applied songwriting that saw every minute feel earned and needed for what their performance entailed.” – The Razor’s Edge

“Waye has shown he can write in any metal style and the guys he got together to perform are world class. The production is pretty big too so, if you like Megadeth, Agent Steel, Exodus, Overkill, etc. then there will be something on here that you like. Me? I liked it all! Hopefully, Canadian metal will be taken a bit more seriously with this release.” – My Global Mind

“classical Thrash Metal tracks and many 80s vibes.” – Metal-Temple

“Heavy, pounding, in-your-face, power metal-laced thrash” – Metal Crypt

“A who’s who of musicians in the Canadian Thrash scene! Riffs and soloing are nothing short of fantastic!” – MetalNoise

“Powerful at the right point but also epic, with sharp and anthemic vocal parts” MetalHead.it

“Power-Thrash equipped with murderous riffs on a technically first-class level with changeable exciting vocal variability.” – FFM-Rock

“Minimal filler and maximum melody!” – Heavy Music HQ

“Tighter than a shark’s arsehole and shows that Triskelyon are continuing to do what they do best.” – Metal-Digest

0 Primalfrost Releases Icy, Melodic Single “Stormbearer” Off Upcoming Album “Lost Elegies”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – August 23, 2021

For fans of Wintersun, Wolfheart, Stormlord, Kalmah, Insomnium

Primalfrost Releases Icy, Melodic Single “Stormbearer” Off Upcoming Album “Lost Elegies”

As unprecedented heatwaves cook the world this summer, there is one who is trying to bring a refreshing, chilling blast of cold to fans of melodic and black metal. Primalfrost is the solo project of Canadian Dean Paul Arnold and he is putting out a third single “Stormbearer” from the forthcoming album “Lost Elegies”.

“Lost Elegies”, the third album, has been a long time coming as Primalfrost has been on hiatus since shortly after the second album “Prosperous Visions” was released in 2014. This third single proves that Arnold has only gotten better at his craft as time has gone on. He details the track:

“This song showcases the refined, matured, and developed sound of Primalfrost in every way from beginning to end. It will surely satisfy those who love the darkness and melodicism of melodic metal while blended harmoniously with the sonic assault of extreme metal, and the audio production of Jonathan Lefrancois-Leduc (ex- Blackguard/Ex Deo) to do the music justice.”

Due to touring schedules with other bands, Primalfrost was put into hiatus, only to be revived due to pandemic restrictions. Arnold writes, performs, and records all instruments, vocals and orchestration for the album. It was mixed and mastered by Jonathan Lefrancois-Leduc of Silverwings Studios in Montreal, Canada who also adds additional orchestration.

Primalfrost brings forth the melody and intensity that is the backbone of melodic death metal and is recommended for fans of Wolfheart, Stormlord, and Kalmah.

“Stormbearer” can be heard at the following links:
Music Video – https://youtu.be/tVGP5mrZ480
Spotify – https://spoti.fi/2XuyUZe
Bandcamp – https://primalfrost.bandcamp.com

The release date for the next full-length “Lost Elegies” is yet to be determined.
