FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Zach Moonshine Show Turns Black Friday Into a Full Scale Metal Riot Black Friday is usually a battlefield for cheap TVs and busted knuckles, but this year the real action wasn’t in any checkout line. It was blasting through Metal Devastation Radio. The night kicked off with the Battle of the Bands top six blowing the doors clean off. Farewell From The Gallows, ANTISAINT, Decrypter, Eden On Fire, Verses and Saturnine Sorrows hit the airwaves like they were looking for a rematch with the apocalypse. No breaks. No mercy. Just pure volume shaking loose whatever was left of the week. And that was just the warm up. Once the dust settled, The Zach Moonshine Show Black Friday Special rolled in and finished the job. No interviews. No guests. No handholding. Just me firing off brand new heavy tracks while the rest of the country tripped over themselves chasing bargains. This is how Black Friday was meant to sound. Loud, reckless and honest. The real kicker? The crowd showed up in force. A wild 119,711 metal maniacs tuned in live, turning the broadcast into something closer to a digital stampede. That kind of support keeps the underground alive, kicking and refusing to apologize for a damn thing. If you missed it, the replay’s up and waiting to rattle your walls. Grab a drink, crank the volume and get caught up. Black Friday might be over, but the chaos sure didn’t stop.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ANTISAINT CROWNED BAND OF THE MONTH AFTER DOMINATING BATTLE OF THE BANDS WITH 29,398 VOTES Cheyenne, WY — ANTISAINT has officially claimed the crown as Band of the Month , following a decisive and hard fought victory in the Battle of the Bands with a massive 29,398 total votes . The win was fueled by overwhelming fan support and the undeniable impact of their breakout single, “SNAFU.” “SNAFU” delivered exactly what the title promises. Loud, raw, and unapologetic. The track blends crushing riffs with sharp hooks and an attitude that cuts straight through the noise. It is modern rock with old school grit, built to hit hard and stick with you. The response from listeners was immediate and relentless, propelling ANTISAINT to the top of the battlefield. Hailing from Cheyenne, Wyoming , ANTISAINT has quickly established themselves as a dynamic force in the rock scene. Fronted by the commanding presence of vocalist Matt Whiteman , the band is driven by the powerful guitar work of Andrew Whiteman and anchored by the tight, groove heavy rhythm section of Andreas Landeck on bass and Jackson Daw on drums. Together, they create a sound that balances raw intensity with polished execution. ANTISAINT is equally known for their explosive live performances. Each show delivers high energy, emotional intensity, and a deep connection with the audience. Their concerts are immersive experiences that leave a lasting impression and keep fans coming back for more. This reputation has helped the band build a loyal following and a rapidly growing buzz well beyond their home state. In addition to “SNAFU,” the band’s recent release “Paradise” highlights their ability to tackle modern themes without losing their edge. The track explores society’s growing addiction to social media and the obsession with online identity, pairing thought provoking lyrics with electrifying instrumentals. It stands as a reflection of ANTISAINT’s willingness to confront real world issues while staying true to their signature sound. ANTISAINT’s Band of the Month victory marks a major milestone in their continued rise. With momentum on their side and new listeners discovering their music daily, the band shows no signs of slowing down. ANTISAINT is: Matt Whiteman – Vocals Andrew Whiteman – Guitar Andreas Landeck – Bass Jackson Daw – Drums Check them out on YouTube and subscribe: For more information and to listen to ANTISAINT, visit their official streaming platforms and follow the band for upcoming releases and live dates. https://linktr.ee/antisaintband
