I was going to skip this today, but there’s too much awesome stuff happening.

• We’ll lead off with The Ocean, because this is my post and they’re my favorites. Duh. Pre-orders for Holocene are officially live, and yes I did snag one of the boxes, thanks for asking. That’s out May 19 through Pelagic Records, of course, and today they unveiled a new track, with video, titled “Parabiosis”. It’s different and it’s awesome.
• Full of Hell and Primitive Man unveiled “Tunnels to God”, the latest from their collaborative album. Suffocating Hallucination is out on March 3 through Closed Casket Activities. They’re both on tour with Fit For An Autopsy and The Acacia Strain next month.
• Necrot has announced a US headlining tour in May, where they’ll be joined by Mortiferum and Deathgrave. Unfortunately for me, that tour happens to be on the other side of the country, so it appears I’ll be sitting this one out.
• Sleep Token are releasing their third album, Take Me Back to Eden, on May 19 through Spinefarm. Give the new single, “Vore”, a listen and watch here.
• I listened to the new track from Cattle Decapitation about 100 times today, so we’ll wrap up with that. Give “We Eat Our Young” a watch and listen below. Terrasite is out on May 12 through Metal Blade, and that is one we are all anxiously awaiting.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
