Canadian hard‑rock/metal quartet Boneyard will release their long‑awaited sophomore album, “Black Static,” on October 23rd, 2026, marking a bold new chapter for the band’s evolving sound and lineup.

Built on melodic female‑fronted hard rock, traditional heavy metal roots, and the band’s signature storytelling, “Black Static” expands the world Boneyard established on their 2020 debut “Oathbreaker”, a record later re‑released internationally through WormHoleDeath Records and mastered by Grammy‑nominated engineer Maor Appelbaum. Featuring nine dynamic songs ranging from classic metal heaviness to punk‑infused chaos to cinematic Western‑metal storytelling, the new album showcases the creative chemistry of the refreshed lineup, featuring powerful contributions from bassist Lezzy and lead guitarist Garhardt, whose arrival has sparked major anticipation among fans.

“An extension of Oathbreaker, but shaped heavily by the new members involved, Black Static is quite different more diverse, more melodic, and more emotionally charged,” says drummer Jefftimus.

Lyrically, “Black Static” dives into personal trauma, mental health, human trafficking, generational addiction, and grief, while still weaving in hope, resilience, and empowerment. The album’s artwork was once again created by legendary Calgary artist Tom Bagley, who brought their mascot Misty Bone to life on the record’s cover.

The album’s first single, “Before the Fall,” is a melodic‑metal anthem confronting the destructive patterns of global leadership, war, corruption, inequality, and urging unity and change. The video dives into the dark realities of human trafficking and missing and murdered Indigenous persons, blending cinematic grit with emotional weight.

“A song of hope… recognizing atrocities and creating a new way of thinking by helping each other for the future,” adds Pamtera.

0 Out Now! Canada’s Corrosive Prairie Doom/Sludge DESTROY MY BRAINS Unleashes Fifth Album “WILT”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – August 14, 2026

Out Now! Canada’s Corrosive Prairie Doom/Sludge DESTROY MY BRAINS Unleashes Fifth Album “WILT”

Destroy My Brains – L-R – Rob – Bass, Jarret – Vocals, Guitar, Chase – Guitar, Jadan – Drums

From the frozen prairies of Lloydminster, Canada, corrosive doom/sludge quartet Destroy My Brains returns with “WILT”, their most vicious, emotionally ruinous, and musically sharpened album. Out as of August 14th, “WILT” marks the final chapter in the band’s long‑planned W.I.L.T. series (Worthless, InsignifiCan’t, Lifeless, Tormented), a five‑album descent into self‑destruction, trauma, and sonic corrosion.

Formed when vocalist Jarret and drummer Jadan decided to turn daily basement jams and a massive bong hit from the Green Spiritual Bastard into a real band, Destroy My Brains have spent years refining their brand of corrosive, melting, abhorrent, Crowbar‑worshipping sludge. Their music has always been a celebration of self‑destruction, a philosophy embedded in the band name itself, and “WILT” pushes that ethos to its bleakest extreme.

Recorded at Doom Tomb Recording Studio, “WILT” is the band’s most accomplished production yet. Every element has been pushed further with its pounding grooves and heavy‑as‑sin chugs. It unleashes soul‑removing drums from Jadan, thick, thunderous bass from Rob, fuzz‑soaked riffs from Chase, and ear‑scorching vocals from Jarret. Destroy My Brains didn’t reinvent their sound; they perfected it. “WILT” is the culmination of everything they’ve ever done, turned louder, darker, and more devastating.

Each track on “WILT” drags the listener deeper into Destroy My Brains’ signature world of ruin, trauma, and corrosive sludge. “OCI” erupts in a frantic OCD‑driven implosion, while “Burn the Virgin” descends into ritual sacrifice and infernal doom. “Decontribute” rejects societal expectations entirely, serving as a manifesto of degeneracy, and “Avulsion” uses the tearing of flesh as a metaphor for lifelong psychological torment. “Downgrade” blends punk and sludge into a tale of manipulation, overdose, and Satanic delusion, captured visually in a chilling ShadowScape Pictures video. “Spill” confronts childhood violence and emotional shutdown. At the same time, the 11‑minute title track “Wilt” stands as the tragic, devastating finale, tackling child abuse with some of the darkest sonic moments in the band’s history.

“As a whole, the album is an ode to pain, trauma, and hate so thick you can touch it. It’s riffs on top of riffs, and songs about ruin and degradation. This album is not lyrically for the average listener, but the music will pull people in without them knowing what the songs are about. I can’t wait to subliminally fuck with people’s minds,” adds Jarret.

Recommended for fans of Eyehategod, Crowbar, Buzzov*en, Acid Bath, and Electric Wizard, Destroy My Brains’ “WILT” is available on all digital platforms as of August 14th, 2026.

“If it’s churning, caustic vibes you’re seeking, look no further than the frozen prairies of Canada for DESTROY MY BRAINS. Since 2014, founding members Jarret Beach (vocals, guitar) and Jadan Paluck (drums) have been punching out one roaring album after another, joined by second guitarist Chase Shorter and bassist Rob Hayman for yet another offering, ‘Wilt’ (2026). The the feisty 7 tracker presents a stark view of human nature, confronting the visceral horror of flesh and blood (“Avulsion”), a messed up home life (“Spill,” “Wilt”), Satanic ambitions (“Burn the Virgin”), obsessive thinking patterns (“OCI”), and degeneration framed as social revolt (“Decontribute”)… You may not always be in the mood to rage, but when you are you’ll definitely want Destroy My Brains on deck to lead the charge.” – Doomed and Stoned

““Downgrade,” a five-minute crawl through manipulation, intoxication and deliberate ruin. The track reconnects Destroy My Brains with their punkier instincts without sacrificing the suffocating riffs, corrosive tones and full-throated hostility at the center of their sludge attack.” – Decibel Magazine (Downgrade Premiere)

“Lyrically, this is a hateful and hopeless screed, the vicious and fatalistic thoughts of someone falling apart and drowning in intoxicants.” No Clean Singing (Decontribute single off Wilt – 2026)

“WILT is the perfect end to a massive and sprawling five part album saga which may allow Destroy My Brains to try different musical avenues in the future. You gotta say the guys ultimately deserve that. As they’ve spent a long time bleeding their emotions dry for their “ART” and providing their dedicated fan base with records of amazing quality which will leave you broken down, beaten, physically and mentally exhausted. However, you’ll be glad you’ve listened, survived and experienced a brutal audio experience such as this. As Destroy My Brains have solidified their status as one of the best bands to emerge from the Canadian Heavy Metal underground scene of recent years.” – Outlaws of The Sun

“Some of the most interesting metal exists far outside the usual channels, and Destroy My Brains has been grinding away in the shadows delivering uncut gems… Wilt brings a nine‑year creative arc full circle and promises to be as rife with hate, desperation, and hunger as the Wendigo on the cover… Wilt quickly establishes itself as a far more vicious beast than its predecessors.” – Angry Metal Guy

“My take on the album: The tracks on the album are hard hitting Doom/Sludge Metal at the next level. The band doesn’t fool around and they let the music do the talking. Brilliantly composed and performed songs that combine to create a special album. I am hugely impressed by the album. A massive yes from me.” – Project Metal Music

“‘Avulsion’ and ‘Downgrade’ demonstrate how well Destroy My Brains know how to pace their music compared to many of their peers. The first of them stretches despair in such a way that each new sustained chord physically exhausts the listener, while the second of them injects enough punk venom so that the album won’t just sink in its emotional weight. It’s still sludge, but this time it moves with purpose rather than just resting on your chest for seven minutes and hoping you won’t notice that numbness you feel.” – Ever-Metal

“Ahead of the record, the Lloydminster quartet has shared the video for “Downgrade,” a five-minute crawl through manipulation, addiction and ruin that reconnects the band with the punkier, more direct instincts of their early days without giving up an inch of the suffocating riffs and corrosive tone that built their name.” – See Rock Live Mag

BIOGRAPHY:

Seven Metal Sins is a European heavy metal band formed in April 2024 by Stéphane Lacoude (bass) and Patrick Soria (drums), both former members of the French act Manigance. After years of shared experience, the two musicians reunited with a clear intention: to return to a more direct, uncompromising approach to songwriting, rooted in the essence of heavy metal while reflecting a renewed creative vision.

The project quickly gained momentum with the addition of guitarist Antton Iriart, whose compositional input became a central element in shaping the band’s sound. In December 2024, vocalist Claw-G. joined the lineup, bringing a powerful and distinctive voice that added intensity and character to the music. The formation was completed in March 2025 with guitarist Frédéric Auclerc, further expanding the band’s harmonic depth and overall dynamic range.

With this solid lineup in place, Seven Metal Sins began refining their musical identity, built on a combination of classic heavy metal foundations and the energy of power and speed metal. Their sound is defined by sharp, riff-driven structures, galloping rhythms, and a strong melodic sensibility, balanced by a modern production approach that emphasizes clarity and impact.

The band made its official debut with the single “Hypocrisy” in April 2025, marking the first step in a focused creative path that led to the completion of their first full-length album, “Legacy Of Chaos“, set for release on June 5th, 2026, via Rockshots Records.

Lyrically, Seven Metal Sins draws inspiration from the fractures of contemporary society, addressing themes such as environmental decline, social instability, and authoritarian drift. These elements are often framed through dystopian and science fiction imagery, creating a narrative that resonates with both present realities and possible futures.

With “Legacy Of Chaos“, Seven Metal Sins establishes a clear artistic identity: a band rooted in experience, driven by purpose, and committed to delivering heavy metal that is direct, intense, and relevant within today’s landscape.
