By the time this publishes, I’ll be photographing my second show of the year. Which is wild.

• We can lead off with some new stuff from Haunt. A lyric video for the new single “Father Time” is available here. Their seventh full-length album, Windows of Your Heart, drops on July 1st. Pre-order it through Bandcamp.
• From there, we’ll check in on new stuff from Matt Kiichi Heafy’s Ibaraki. The new album, Rashomon, is out today through Nuclear Blast. To mark the occasion, we’ve got a new video for “Kagutsuchi”. Give it a watch here.
• Seven Kingdoms gave us some new material today. Here’s the link to a new video for “Diamond Handed”, the second track taken from Zenith. That album is set for a June 17th release via Distortion Music Group.
• Let’s mix in a little Australian death metal. Werewolves shared a new single, “Crushing Heaven’s Mandate”, along with a visualizer. That’s a new single from their forthcoming new album, From the Cave to the Grave, which is out on June 24th through Prosthetic Records.
• Closing out with Kreator feels like the right thing to do. Here’s the new single and video for “Midnight Sun”. As a reminder that you probably don’t need, Hate Über Alles is out on June 10th through Nuclear Blast.

“Ein bier… bitte.”
