Late tonight because I spent the last few hours assembling nightstands.

• Cold Cave announced a run of September and October dates through the U.S. The tour will see support from Riki and SRSQ, and eventually wrap up in support of The Cult. Tickets go on sale June 29, this coming Thursday.
• Another one. Progressive metalcore crew Invent Animate are touring North America in September and October with support from Void of Vision, Thrown, and Aviana. Here’s that ticket link, should you need it.
• Another one. Artillery are celebrating their 40 years with a North American headlining tour as well. Similar time of year, and they’re bringing along Vapor and Potential Threat. Here’s the schedule.
• Amaranthe announced Mikael Sehlin as a new vocalist, and dropped a new single titled “Damnation Flame”. Check out the music video for that one here.
• Death metal group Crypta dropped a video for their new single, “Trial of Traitors”, which you can check out below. That’s off of Shades of Sorrow, which drops August 4 through Napalm Records.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
