I just opened the inbox and saw something from something called Ghost Toast. That made me smile. Anyway, moving on…

• Intronaut have kicked out a new single called “Pangloss” ahead of the release of their sixth studio album, Fluid Existential Inversions. That album will officially be out on February 28th via Metal Blade Records.
• Barishi have revealed new album details today. Old Smoke will be out on April 24th through Season of Mist. Better yet, they are currently touring with Ether Coven. No dates near me, however. Sad!
• Immortal Guardian have recently entered the studio. It appears as though they have started the recording process for their sophomore album, with an expected release date some time in the fall. They’ve got upcoming North American tour dates with Powerglove, as well. Good stuff all around.
• Thanatos has an album coming out on March 20th through Listenable Records called Violent Death Rituals. Check out the lyric video for the title track immediately below.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
