I can already tell the rest of this week is going to be a complete dumpster fire.

• Those out on the West coast should be excited about the Bewitcher and Wormwitch dates this coming November. It’s only a small handful of shows over the course of a week, but if you can swing it, you’re in for a party.
• Malevolence revealed some awesome footage of “Karma” being performed at Bloodstock Open Air 2022. Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos joined them on stage for the track, so needless to say this clip is worth checking out.
• Louisiana black/death trio Faustian have announced a deal with Black Lion Records, and have released the first single from their upcoming self-titled debut EP. That officially drops on September 7th, but jump over to their YouTube channel and give “Birth of Apparitions” a listen now.
• And, of course, we’re going to close with the latest from Gaerea. Check out the video for “Mirage” below, the title-track from their upcoming new album. That release is one I have circled, and it’s set for September 23rd through Season of Mist.

“Ein bier… bitte.”
