Cleveland heavy rock trio Megaton Communion unleash their atmospheric new full-length alongside official video for »Echoes In Time«!

Cleveland, Ohio heavy rock trio Megaton Communion have officially released their new full-length album, »Three Of Cups«, on September 11, 2026, via Black Doomba Records.

The band is marking the album’s release with the official music video for »Echoes In Time«, giving listeners another look into the darker, more introspective side of the band’s latest material.

»Three Of Cups« expands on Megaton Communion’s signature blend of massive hard rock riffs, hypnotic rhythms, desert-rock atmosphere, and melodic songwriting. The album explores themes of resilience, growth, friendship, memory, loss, hope, and overcoming adversity, bringing together a collection of songs that balance crushing weight with a strong emotional undercurrent.

»Echoes In Time« is a particularly reflective moment on the album, exploring memory, distance, loss, and the uneasy feeling of watching the past slowly drift further away. The song ultimately arrives at a choice between holding onto hope or surrendering to the darkness.

“A glimpse of hope for another day
A glimpse of pain don’t want to stay
A ray of light all around
Or sit in darkness without a sound”

Musically, the track showcases the expansive side of Megaton Communion while maintaining the band’s heavy foundation. Fans of Soundgarden, Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, and Tool will find plenty to dig into throughout »Three Of Cups«.

The album follows the release of »Evil Speak«, which arrived as the record’s first single on July 24 and offered the first taste of Megaton Communion’s latest chapter. With the full album now available, listeners can experience the complete progression of »Three Of Cups« from beginning to end.

Megaton Communion was formed in late 2022 by lifelong friends Derrick on guitar, Ryan on drums, and Joe on bass and vocals. The trio quickly established themselves within Cleveland’s underground rock scene through dynamic songwriting and immersive live performances. Following Ryan’s departure in March 2025, Ken Gosselin joined the band on drums, bringing renewed energy to the lineup.

»Three Of Cups« was produced by Curran Murphy at Custom Audio Mutation Studio, where the band shaped their latest material into a powerful and emotionally resonant full-length. Album art by Jonathan Grimm Art.

With the album now officially released, Megaton Communion continue carving out their own space within the heavy rock underground. »Three Of Cups« is dark without being hopeless, melodic without sacrificing its weight, and driven by the kind of huge riffs that demand to be played loud.
