Arsis Thesis are brothers Nick Blevins on guitar and vocals and Jake Blevins on drums and vocals, working out of Houston, Texas since 2015. Their debut EP Pangea pulled doom toward noise rock, math rock, sludge, post-hardcore and psych. Ustanak, six tracks with cover art by Adam Burke of Nightjar Illustration, arrives July 31, 2026, self-released. The title track and Capricorn are streaming now.

Christopher Thomas Elliott records Buzzard by himself in Massachusetts, running banjo and lap steel through fuzz and dropped-tuning riffs. The new single pairs Hillbilly Fuckery, built from an International WTF Tabernacle Choir of more than fifty voices sending in recordings of themselves, with Appalachian Blood Bourbon, a tale of backwoods vampires who climb from the hollers into billionaire bunkers. He answered our three questions from inside the world he calls Buzzard.

Meret was founded in Heinola in 2025. Its core is Mikko Kolari, Hanging Garden’s longest-serving guitarist, and Janne Jukarainen, who drummed on that band’s earliest records. Toni Hinkkala writes the songs and sings them. Pasi Löfgren plays bass. Meret answered our questions.

Kalmo means cadaver in Finnish. The three-piece, Mika on vocals, Pekka on guitar, and Anu on bass, grew from what was originally Mika’s solo project, the expanded lineup appearing for the first time on the 2025 single Thy Chosen One. “Feeding the Worms” is the third in a running series of singles, following Thy Chosen One and Thy Saviour, Thy Master, both from 2025. Mika answered our questions.

A signal comes before the full transmission. (((SIGNALS))) is Doomnation Radio’s space for bands to tell us about their new single and what it points toward: why this song came first, where it lives on the album, and what world it carries inside it. Three questions only, the rest is up to them.
