Tennessee’s symphonic blackened deathcore hellraisers Ov Ruin ripped into their debut album Eternal Lament, live-show plans for Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest 2025, and the savage evolution of their sound. Here’s the devastation:

Key Takeaways

From Coffee to Chaos: Discovered through their side hustle roasting beans (props to SmithOddities), Ov Ruin’s music blew past the coffee game. “Fuck the coffee, dude—we had to get these guys on stage!”

Debut Album Eternal Lament: A cinematic blackened deathcore monster inspired by Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Lord of the Rings scores, and a dash of MySpace-era madness (think Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza meets Cradle of Filth).

Ozzfest Nostalgia: Bonding over Ozzfest’s prime, Jerry recalls Slipknot’s 1999 second-stage set rocking orange jumpsuits. “We want TMDMF to be the Ozzfest for the underground—no mainstream bullshit, just raw exposure.”

TMDMF 2025 = First Live Show Ever: Though scattered from Nashville to Boston, Ov Ruin’s live debut is locked for the fest, with secret guest appearances and merch including vinyl (CDs sold out in minutes).

Gearheads Rejoice: Studio wizardry with Neural DSP plugins, plus live rigs packing Abasi 7-strings and 5150 cabs. “We’re our own engineers now.”

New EP Incoming: Already cooking up a follow-up promising even more face-melting riffs and a serious step up from Eternal Lament.

Savage Quotes

“We’re ready to rip some faces off. Expect heavy breakdowns, killer riffs, and maybe Scooby-Doo costumes.”

“If you wanna see Ov Ruin live, you better be at TMDMF. No second chances.”

Final Warning

Crank Eternal Lament on Bandcamp (full upload dropping soon) and gear up for Ov Ruin’s explosive live debut at Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest 2025 on October 11th. This is the underground’s new wave—get violent or get out.

Signs of the Swarm: Bobby Crow Talks Touring, New Album, and the Future of Deathcore

On The Zach Moonshine Show, Bobby Crow of Signs of the Swarm gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the band’s rise, their upcoming album To Rid Myself of Truth, and why the deathcore scene is stronger than ever.

🎙️ “We’re just here to make fun heavy music and have a good time,” Bobby said. “There’s a little something for just about everybody if you like heavy [ __ ]!”

With a highly anticipated Century Media Records release dropping August 22nd, the band is charging into their next chapter full-force. “We’ve got tours booked out to the end of the year,” he shared, listing an album release tour with Mental Cruelty, Carcosa, Face Yourself, and more. A special Pittsburgh Halloween hometown show will also feature the return of Belie My Burial after a 10-year hiatus.

🧠 On the creative side, the new record mixes punishing heaviness with personal reflection. “A Cloud of Retinas,” for example, deals with frontman David’s degenerative eye condition. “He’s opening up more than ever,” Bobby explained. “It’s a battle between telling your own truth and keeping it relatable.”

🎤 Cameos include Will Ramos (Lorna Shore), Phil Bozeman (Whitechapel), Jack from 156/Silence, and Johnny Crowder (Prison). “It’s all people we know personally,” Bobby emphasized. “We wrote the tracks with them in mind. It wasn’t just pulling names for clout—it came together organically.”

The band also experiments sonically, with Bobby detailing how they sample everyday sounds like slamming car trunks, squeaky drum stools, and even basement junk to create thunderous, unique effects. “We try to find random stuff just to make ear candy. Some of it is hilarious, but it ends up sounding heavy as hell.”

On the band’s genre-blending appeal, Bobby said: “We all listen to different stuff, and we don’t want to be boxed in. It’s gotta be heavy—but also catchy and fun.”

📼 Their cinematic music videos continue to impress, thanks to the vision of vocalist Dave and longtime video collaborator Eric DiCarlo. “We’ve built a little family of people who know what we want,” Bobby said.

When asked about coming to Tennessee for the Metal Devastation Music Fest, Bobby didn’t hesitate: “Dude, yes. Hell yeah. I would love it.”

Quiescent Mantis Returns to Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest with a Vengeance

On The Zach Moonshine Show, Quiescent Mantis members Chris and Jordan sat down to talk about their upcoming return to the Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest, reflecting on last year's explosive set and teasing even more chaos this time around.

🔊 “We’re coming back with a vengeance,” Chris declared early in the interview, promising to push boundaries and bring even more intensity to this year’s performance.

The band made a massive impression at the previous fest, with fans demanding their return. Zach confirmed, “There was a lot of people that came up to me afterwards and were like, ‘Man, you got to get them back.’”

Notorious for their wild stage antics—including crowd surfing on a blow-up mattress—Quiescent Mantis teased more madness for round two. “We’re going to look for some cheap blow-up couches this year. It’s going to be wild, that’s for sure,” Jordan laughed.

Beyond the antics, they’re sharpening their sound with new tech upgrades like in-ear monitors and are deep into writing their second album following their debut Exitus Stratagem Records.

The band is also gearing up for a huge show in Syracuse, NY, sharing the stage with Crowbar and Eyehategod, calling it a dream gig. “It’s just like a dream come true, really,” Jordan shared.

Their sci-fi-inspired bug-themed image isn’t just for show. Chris explained the inspiration stems from creature features like Starship Troopers and King Kong, hoping to one day merge music with special effects-heavy videos. “I wanted to combine my love of music and special effects,” he said.

They also reminisced about last year’s festival highlights, from getting the crowd pumped before noon to guest vocals with Autumn Lies Buried, and yes, the legendary air mattress surfing. “Just seeing the crowd reaction that early... the whole fest was a standout moment,” they agreed.

When asked what to expect this year, they hinted at more surprises and possible collaborations with fellow bands like Filth and Septarian: “Let’s just see how the weeks go,” Chris teased.

Before signing off, they left fans with one message:

🗣️ “Come catch us wherever you can catch us… we’re just going to play to however many people show up.”

In this raw and emotional interview on The Zach Moonshine Show, Chelsea Marrow of VISITANT opens up about the band’s journey, the personal grief behind “Fodder”, and channeling pain into power through music.

“I’m just putting every bit of my spirit into it,” Chelsea says, reflecting on the band’s rise and her transition from Vorath to Visitant.

She dives into the haunting inspiration behind “Starless”, describing it as “the embodiment of shadow work,” and explains the dreamlike vision that drives her lyricism and visuals:

“I like to take personal experiences and turn them into ghost stories.”
