MEGATON LEVIATHAN presents a visual accompaniment to their latest doomgaze offering, “Silver Tears” showcasing the new line up in action. The trio have also launched a limited edition 2-piece flexi disk set featuring the single “Silver Tears” and an unreleased track.
Reuscher comments on the “Silver Tears” Video:
“It’s been a rough time for everyone in recent years. I felt that levity was in order. Everything is new again and I’m feeling like a fool. Good times and good fun was in reach and while we where at it made it a family affair. My sibling and I set up some cameras and took a stab at making the video for ‘Silver Tears’.
Fiona (my sibling) took the reigns in editing it, having previous experience making obscure gangster rap music videos in Modesto CA. It’s something I hope our fans/friends enjoy and we did our best to convey a positive message. Be true to yourself and do what you love.”

Dec 8, 2023 saw the release of Magick Helmet, MEGATON LEVIATHAN’s first album in the 5 years since their critically acclaimed and ground-breaking cinematic Industrial Doomgaze masterpiece Mage. Once again stumping critics and fans alike as it presents itself as something unrecognizable to even the adept, leaving many with more questions than answers.
MEGATON LEVIATHAN presents a kaleidoscope of opposites as Magick Helmet is entirely comprised of live way-out improvisations under the direction of Reuscher in an exercise with one goal in mind: unity. The new single “Silver Tears” is a return to the droning and gazing one might expect in a MEGATON LEVIATHAN studio track. Oozing of things primordial, proto and Cro-magnon, it also draws from 60’s psychedelic garage punk, and early industrial.
Also brought in the wake of the full-length release of Magick Helmet is a fresh lineup based out of Astoria, Oregon, signaling the next era of MEGATON LEVIATHAN. This incarnation sees a slimmed down and more volatile 3-piece ensemble comprised of Tory Chappell on Drums, Alex Wynn on Bass, with Reuscher on guitar, synth, post-power electronics, programming and vocals.
MEGATON LEVIATHAN is:
Reuscher – Vocals, Synth, Post Power Electronics, Guitars, 12 String Guitar, and Bass
Alex Wynn – Bass
Tory Chappell – Drums
