I’ve been in the mountains since Friday, but returned to entertain you fine people.

• Cloak have some more U.S. dates in April which I am 100% here for. You probably already knew about their supporting dates with Horrendous, but today I discovered some additional headlining dates around those.
• Testament have released the first trailer for Titans Of Creation. This video focuses on Alex Skolnick in his element. A reminder that their thirteenth studio album will be out on April 3rd through Nuclear Blast.
• Gouge Away are setting up for a big 2020. You may already be aware of their upcoming tour with Circa Survive and Polyphia, but they’ve also announced an EP titled Consider b/w Wave of Mutilation, which will be out on March 20th. Better yet, 25% of profits from sales of the EP will be donated to the International Rescue Committee. Check out a new track, “Consider”, right now.
• Here’s a new video from Redwood Hill. This is a clip of “Polar”, taken from the upcoming album Ender at Sweet Silence Studios. The footage was captured during a session last November. Ender will be out this coming March.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
