Back to reality (again!) tomorrow. Until then, I guess I’m watching baseball? Weird.

• We’ll start with Weedeater, who have announced a handful of November dates (and a December date) with Telekinetic Yeti and Donnie Doolittle. The full schedule, with ticket links, can be found here.
• The Flenser has welcomed experimental black metal duo Ragana to their roster, and that can only mean good things. Better yet, you can catch them on tour with Vile Creature early in 2023… which is something I’m very much going to try and make happen.
• California sludge crew -(16)- are returning with a new album, Into Dust, on November 18 through Relapse Records. Check out a video for “Scrape The Rocks” here.
• And on that note, we’ll close out the date with this clip of Lost In Kiev performing “We Are” at MIDILIVE Studios in Villetaneuse, France. That track is taken from their upcoming new album, Rupture, which is out Friday through Pelagic Records.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
