I’m getting this posted as fast as possible and then drinking an outside beer. Because it’s nice out. Finally.

• This is a tour that I would like to attend… but I probably can’t. Prosthetic Records labelmates Tómarúm and Volcandra have some North American dates in July and August. Here’s the full schedule.
• I think we have a few Royal Thunder fans around these parts. Their fourth studio album, Rebuilding The Mountain, is set for a June 16 release through Spinefarm, their first in six years. Give the video for the first single, “Fade”, a watch here.
• Portland death metal crew Torture Rack are releasing Primeval Onslaught through 20 Buck Spin on June 9. Grab that early and check out “Decrepit Funeral Home” over at their Bandcamp.
• Two items from the Nuclear Blast camp today. First, Fifth Angel have set June 16 as the release date for their fourth album, When Angels Kill. Pre-order that and listen to the title-track here.
• Overkill released Scorched today through Nuclear Blast, so let’s swing into the weekend with their new video for that title-track. I haven’t quite gotten around to this album yet, but it’s certainly on the list for this weekend.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
