Another one of THOSE days. But the good news is that my copy of 72 Seasons arrived today…

• I guess the rule is that we need to open with Bell Witch today. who have a new album coming at long last. Future’s Shadow Part 1: The Clandestine Gate is set for a digital release this coming Friday, April 21, which a physical release coming on June 9 through Profound Lore.
• Agalloch are reuniting for Prophecy Fest, and to be honest I don’t really know how I feel about that. I also can’t remember the last time I mentioned that band, which is kinda sad considering how much I adore those albums. Anyway, that festival is September 7 through 9, and tickets can be acquired here.
• Ahead of their upcoming tour with Elder and Ruby The Hatchet, Howling Giant released a new single titled “Sunken City”. That’s the first taste from their sophomore full-length, which should be out later this year through Magnetic Eye.
• And we’ll close with Thy Catafalque because that’s a popular one around here. The music video for the new track “A csend hegyei” can be found below. Just a reminder that Alföld is due out on June 16 through Season of Mist.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
