Major box checked today on the to-do list, which means it’s time to buy some stuff I don’t need.

• Leading off, we have the latest from Majesties. I know we’re all excited for Vast Reaches Unclaimed, which is officially out on March 3rd through 20 Buck Spin, so let’s give “In Yearning, Alive” a listen. Unsurprisingly, it’s awesome. I can’t wait to hear this thing in full.
• Connecticut-based melodic death/doom band Fires In The Distance have set April 28th as the release date for Air Not Meant For Us, which will be available through Prosthetic Records. Today they’re streaming a lyric video for the new track “Harbingers” over at Knotfest.
• Swedish industrial act Deathstars have announced details surrounding Everything Destroys You. Their first release in over eight years will be out on May 5th through Nuclear Blast, and a video for the new track “This Is” can be seen here.
• Doom legends Candlemass offered up a lyric video for “Angel Battle”, a track taken from Sweet Evil Sun. That album is out now through Napalm.
• Out of Season of Mist, we have some fresh Finnish grindcore to tie this all up with. Check out the video from Rotten Sound for “Suburban Bliss” below. That one is taken from Apocalypse, their eighth studio album set for a March 31st release. The hits keep on coming already in 2023.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
