I need to go for a run. Also, some of this news is from yesterday. Deal with it.

• Fen, a band I love but feel like I haven’t mentioned in awhile, are set to release their next album on December 6th. It will be called The Dead Light and will be available through Prophecy Productions. Apparently Winter came out in 2017, so I suppose it hasn’t been that long.
• Immortal Bird have announced some headlining dates here in North America. They run through most of December and cover the eastern half of the U.S. Also, a reminder that their latest album, Thrive On Neglect, is out now on 20 Buck Spin.
• Lordi — because any opportunity to mention Lordi must be seized — have announced a new album, titled Killection, that will be out on January 31st via AFM Records. That will be the tenth studio album from the Finnish monsters.
• Check out this new video from Cloak for “A Voice in the Night”. The song is obviously great, and this video is very much appropriate on a number of levels. The Burning Dawn will be out on October 25th via Season Of Mist.
