EXTINCTION A.D. UNEARTHS A HEAVY METAL MONSTER WITH COVER OF ALICE COOPER’S "FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN"!

Get your costumes ready and your speakers turned up to maximum volume, because EXTINCTION A.D. is summoning the spirit of the spooky season with a monstrous new release. Just in time for Halloween, the thrash/hardcore powerhouse has unleashed a crushing cover of the classic Alice Cooper anthem, "Feed My Frankenstein."

“I’m sure every band has spent hours in the van BS-ing about, “wouldn’t it be cool if we covered THIS song?” Anytime we’ve done that, ‘Feed My Frankenstein’ would come up half as a gag. We all grew up with and love the movie Wayne’s World that this song appears in and the placement of it in that movie is rad. Once this ‘one single a month’ idea came up, we knew we wanted to do a cover for October in the spirit of Halloween and we humped at making this the choice after years of joking about it,” explains singer/guitarist Rick Jimenez. “Adding a bit of our flavor to this song with the heaviness of the guitars and my spin vocally, while adding the keyboards in a faithful way was absolutely ridiculous and super fun. So much of what we do musically is deadly serious so it was enjoyable to do something purely lighthearted.”

The digital single and an accompanying lyric video are online now, giving metalheads everywhere the ultimate soundtrack for graveyard parties, haunted houses, and headbanging in the dark.

Known for their high-octane energy and relentless aggression, EXTINCTION A.D. injects a heavy, modern dose of adrenaline into the iconic Cooper cut—proving that this legendary monster still needs plenty of feeding.

Finnish Death-Sludge Heavyweights BLACK ROYAL Unveil Chilling New Single & Video “Extremophiles” 

from their forthcoming album ‘Abyssian’ out Oct. 30th

Ahead of their highly anticipated upcoming album, ’Abyssian’ (out October 30th via M-Theory Audio), Finnish apocalyptic death-sludge outfit BLACK ROYAL have dropped their third and most crushing single yet, “Extremophiles.”

Accompanying the track is a striking, icy music video directed once again by Markus Vähäaho / RAW•ART Creations. Finnish death-sludge group BLACK ROYAL have released their heavy new single and music video, “Extremophiles,” continuing the water-centric thematic journey toward their forthcoming album, ‘Abyssian.’ WATCH HERE 

The third single from ‘Abyssian’ explores one of oceanography's most unsettling phenomena: underwater brine pools. Extremely dense, hyper-saline reservoirs sit at the bottom of the ocean, creating liquid boundaries where normal aquatic life perishes—except for extremophiles, microorganisms uniquely adapted to survive in these lightless, toxic conditions.

Speaking on the track's sound and inspiration, vocalist/lyricist Riku notes: “We tried to capture the pressure in the seabed and the weight of the water into that song as well as the coldness and silence of the deep... Every line I studied was a perfect match for a metal song and I was just overwhelmed by the facts about these lifeforms. An ultimate survival story happening in the deepest underwater lake. How more ‘metal’ can you get?”

Like previous singles “Water of the Crow” and “Drown The Seaweed”, “Extremophiles” comes off BLACK ROYAL’s anticipated album ‘Abyssian,’ set for release on October 30th via M-Theory Audio.

Recorded at Studio Watercastle with Arttu Sarvanne (Immortal Souls, Enter My Silence, Sunride), mixed by Jussi Kulomaa (A.R.G., Dreamtale, Ruinside) at Metal Mixing, and mastered by Jaakko Viitalähde (Oranssi Pazuzu, Xysma, Convulse) at Virtalähde Mastering, ‘Abyssian’ marks a streamlined, hard-hitting evolution of the band’s signature blend of Scandinavian death metal and blackened sludge. Or as self-described, “what if Clutch played Entombed?”

Pre-orders are available now on Digipak CD and limited-edition "beneath the surface" blue-colored vinyl via the M-Theory Audio Webstore and Black Royal Bandcamp.

There’s even a pre-order t-shirt bundle package available. All orders ship from US or Europe based upon where you live. 

Formed in the frozen reaches of the North, BLACK ROYAL continues to refine their signature sound—a visceral concoction of Scandinavian death metal and blackened sludge. Critics and fans alike have described their sonic assault as "a fistfight between Crowbar and Entombed, with Behemoth and Mastodon awaiting to jump in the ring for round two."
