This week is off to a wonderful start. At least I got a day on the ridge in yesterday.

• Yeah I guess we can start with some metalcore. Michigan-based Of Virtue are releasing their new album, Omen, on September 29 via Arising Empire. The collection will feature the Sinner EP as well as eight additional tracks. That’s up for pre-orders here.
• Bay Area brutal death metal and hardcore act Snuffed On Sight are releasing their debut LP, Smoke, through Creator-Destructor Records and Maggot Stomp. “Time 2 Dip” is premiering over at Slam Worldwide.
• Signal Rex announced July 14 as the physical release date for Sarajevski Odisej, the debut from black metal collective Izrod. As it happens, you can stream that album in full here.
• Post-metal crew A Light Within dropped a video for “Count With Your Eyes”, which you can stream over at Audioeclectica. Seems like there’s a series of singles coming prior to any full-length album announcement.
• With Boundless Domain out this coming Friday, wrapping up with Creeping Death makes sense. Below is the new single and video for “Vitrified Earth”. That new album is out through MNRK Heavy, and they have plenty of tour dates over the next couple of months. Just FYI.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
