In the wake of the full-length release of Magick Helmet comes a new single, and a fresh lineup based out of Astoria, Oregon, signaling the next era of MEGATON LEVIATHAN. This incarnation brings 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. The single, “Silver Tears”, is available now.

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.
MEGATON LEVIATHAN is:
Reuscher – Vocals, Synth, Post Power Electronics, Guitars, 12 String Guitar, and Bass
Alex Wynn – Bass
Tory Chappell – Drums
