Today was, once again, a fucking day.

• Leading off, we have new stuff from Heavy Temple. “Hiraeth”, the second single taken from Garden of Heathens, can be seen here. Their sophomore full-length will be out on April 12 through Magnetic Eye Records.
• North Sea Echoes, the project featuring Ray Alder & Jim Matheos of Fates Warning, shared the new single “Empty” just ahead of the release of Really Good Terrible Things. Their debut album is out tomorrow through Metal Blade.
• Sludge trio Iron Monkey are releasing a new album on April 5 through Relapse Records titled Spleen & Goad. Here’s a video for the new track “Misanthropizer” if you want to get a sense of what’s coming.
• How about some progressive metalcore out of Australia? Reliqa have signed on with Nuclear Blast, and to add to the announcement they also dropped a video for their new single “Terminal”.
• Hideous Divinity unveiled a new visualizer for “Against the Sovereignty of Mankind”, which is how we’re going to wrap up the day. That track is taken from Unextinct, which arrives on March 22 through Century Media.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
