And, once again, Friday was the biggest pain in the ass of the week.

• Rotting Christ unveiled the details behind their 14th studio album. While we don’t have any new tunes to share, I can tell you that Pro Xristoy will be out on May 24 through Season of Mist, and preorders will start next month.
• Mark February 23 down as the international release date of Dismal Spells From the Dragonrealm – Part 2, the fifth album from Druadan Forest. That will available through Werewolf Records.
• This is fun (in theory, I haven’t listened yet). Doro released a digital single cover of Metallica’s “The Four Horsemen”. The new EP, Conqueress – Extended, arrives March 1 through Nuclear Blast.
• Out of Century Media, Hideous Divinity shared new album details… with new a new track. Unextinct drops on March 22, preorders are live, and a clip for “The Numinous One” premiered today.
• Abhoria released their new album, Depths, through Prosthetic Records today. To mark the occasion they dropped a lyric video for “Winter’s Embrace” (pretty damn appropriate around these parts). Check it out below.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
