I’ve been back at work one day and I’m already prepared to sprint into the woods without return.

• This announcement is a couple days old, but it’s still worth sharing. The Ocean are releasing Phanerozoic Live on November 26th (through Pelagic Records, of course). The 3LP features both streaming performances of the Phanerozoic concept album, as well as access to HD video. Oh so tempting.
• Seattle doom crew Deathcave have announced some December dates with Heiress and several others. The dates are mostly on the west coast, and run from December 2nd to 15th.
• For those lucky enough to be in Europe, Ensiferum and Dark Tranquillity have a co-headlining tour scheduled for next April and May. To celebrate the announcement, check out the new video from Ensiferum for “Run from the Crushing Tide”, which is taken from Thalassic. That album dropped last year through Metal Blade.
• Let’s toss in the new single from Goat Torment as well. Forked Tongues is out on October 29th through Season of Mist Underground Activists, and you can stream “Disorder and Disruption” right here.
• We’ll close with death metal veterans Hate, who released a new video for “Resurgence”. That track is taken from Rugia, their 12th full-length album, which will be out on October 15th through Metal Blade Records.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
