Making this quick (again) because I have to be somewhere else like 15 minutes ago.

• Hey, a tour announcement that intrigues me. Insomnium returns to North America next April and May with Omnium Gatherum and Wilderun. Tickets for this absolute melodeath party go on sale this coming Friday.
• And then a show I really want to go to but can’t! Wayfarer announced a record release show for American Gothic on March 29 at the Bluebird Theater in Denver. Tickets go on sale for that one on Friday as well. That album dropped back in October through Profound Lore and Century Media, in case you happened to miss it somehow.
• Swiss industrial metal veterans Samael are releasing a live album on February 16 through Napalm Records, titled Passage – Live. Preorders are up now, and you can check out the live version of “Jupiterian Vibe” here.
• In closing, we have a new music video from Amon Amarth for “Saxons and Vikings”, which features members of the heavy metal legends. That, of course, is taken from The Great Heathen Army, which is available through Metal Blade. Oh, and in case you missed it, they have a massive tour coming up in North America next year with Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, and Frozen Soul.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
