Thanks to this wonderful team and their coverage, I have been on a serious Enslaved kick all day.

• Cloak is popular around this corner of the internet, so let’s start there. Their third full-length album, Black Eternal Flame, is scheduled for a May 26 release through Season of Mist. Give the music video for “Invictus” a peak here, the first material off the forthcoming album, of course.
• Next up, we have New Jersey’s Sunrot. Their sophomore album, The Unfailing Rope, is out on April 7 through Prosthetic Records, and today they shared a new track with video, titled “Patricide”.
• Cradle of Filth shared a new track and video, titled “She Is A Fire”. Their first live album in 20 years, Trouble and Their Double Lives, is set for an April 28 release through Napalm Records. That collection will feature classics as well as a couple of new studio tracks. Fun!
• Macabre are celebrating 30 years of Sinister Slaughter with an April 14 vinyl, CD, and tape reissue through Nuclear Blast. Get the full scoop, and purchase details (obviously), right here.
• Ingested feels like the right way to close out. Taken from last year’s Metal Blade release in Ashes Lie Still, they dropped a new video for “Echoes Of Hate”. Give it a watch below. This comes on the cusp of their upcoming European tour with Cannibal Corpse, a run that kicks off on the 10th.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
