Two more days until the weekend. Holy Christ.

• Heilung have announced some U.S. dates in October and early November, kicking off in Greensboro on October 17. The complete schedule can be found here. As usual, tickets go on sale this coming Friday.
• Atmospheric black metal band An Autumn for Crippled Children dropped a new single titled “I See You… But Never Clearly”. That’s the latest from Closure, which is due on August 4 through Prosthetic Records.
• This is a European tour I’d love to check out, but won’t be able to: The Ocean and This Will Destroy You. Those dates are in September and October. Tickets go on sale, you guessed it, this coming Friday.
• Polish pagan black metal collective Varmia dropped a video for “Dies Tremor”, a track taken from nie nas widzę ahead of its Friday release through M-Theory Audio.
• German metal newcomers Knife are releasing their new album, and debut through Napalm Records, on August 25. Preorder Heaven Into Dust here, and give the video for the title-track a watch (and listen) below.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
