In a complete RKO outta nowhere, the album I most anticipate this year might be Lorna Shore’s Pain Remains? Anyway…

• Starting with In Flames, who have officially announced details surrounding their 14th album. Foregone is out on February 10th through Nuclear Blast. A third track from that album was revealed today as well, “Foregone Pt. 1”, and it’s awesome.
• Swedish death metal to Swedish death metal. Defleshed have set October 28th as the release date for Grind Over Matter. That will be out through Metal Blade, and the title-track, along with pre-order details, can be found here.
• Moving in a different direction, dark neo-folk collective Vévaki shared a new music video for “Heimdalagaldr”. Their sophomore full-length, Fórnspeki, drops on October 28th through Season of Mist, their debut with the label.
• Closing out, we have the next offering from Comalies XX. Lacuna Coil shared a new video for “Swamped XX”, which you can view below. As a reminder, that reimagined classic will be out on October 14th through Century Media.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
