I’m gathering that I’m not supposed to like both Batushka things happening. I’m also gathering that I don’t care.

• This one’s for Dan, even though he may already be aware of it. GosT has announced the next studio album, Valediction, will be out on October 4th. Furthermore, for those of you in Europe, you can catch GosT on tour with Mayhem and Gaahls Wyrd in November.
• Speaking of Batushka, they’ll be headlining some North American dates this coming November and December. Tickets go on sale Friday. I plan on dabbling. Oh yes I do.
• Monolord have set a release date of September 20th for their Relapse Records debut album, called No Comfort. You can check out a new song called “The Bastard Son” now, and catch them on tour in Europe in October and in the U.S. in November. So much Monolord. Very good.
• Let’s check out a new song from Israeli thrash band Shredhead. The song is called “Unmarked” and it features captured footage from a recent tour in Japan. It’s quite good.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
