And so another (short) work week begins.

• Let’s open tonight’s account with Street Tombs. The Santa Fe death metal outfit are on the road for a relatively brief run of shows in August here in North America, and today dropped a video for “Diseased Existence”.
• Next up, we have new stuff from Alkaloid. Check out the AI-generated clip for “The Cambrian Explosion” here, material taken from their upcoming new album. Numen is out on September 15 through Season of Mist.
• California post-punk outfit Fearing have set details surrounding their debut album through Profound Lore. Destroyer will be out on September 29, and you can listen to “I Was So Alive” here.
• Crystal Coffin have set October 31 as the international release date for their third album. The Curse of Immortality will be out through A Beast in the Field, with the first new material preorder details coming soon. Here’s a teaser thing.
• I don’t care that it was a release from last year, I’m still obsessed with Voices of the Kronian Moon. So, I’m ending my Monday with the new video from Nite for “The Trident”. That album is available through Season of Mist.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
