Considering my next couple days will be spent in Boston, these will be sparse this week.

• We’ll start with a tour that I really want to get to if the stars align. Zeal & Ardor, with Sylvaine and Imperial Triumphant. Dates are in September and early October throughout North America, and tickets can be acquired here.
• Slayer covers tend to be fun, so here is a take on “Raining Blood” brought to us by Zarraza. That’s taken from their upcoming covers EP, Kreated In Blood, which will be out on July 8th.
• If you’re craving some power metal in your Monday, here’s some new stuff from Splintered Throne. “Morning Star Rising” is the second single taken from The Greater Good Of Man, which will be out on August 19th.
• But if you’re looking for something in the opposite direction, black metallers Pestilent Hex are streaming The Ashen Abhorrence in full ahead of its release on July 8th. That one will be out through Debemur Morti Productions.
• We’ll close out with a fresh Rob Zombie clip, because those are always worthwhile. Check out “Shake Your Ass-Smoke Your Grass” below. The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy is out now through Nuclear Blast.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
