The bad news: it’s Monday. The good news: I have a fridge full of beers from The Alchemist. Sometimes things have a way of balancing out.

• Let’s start with Fallujah, who have announced a new tour celebrating a decade of The Flesh Prevails, set to begin on July 5 in Atlanta. On that same date, an anniversary edition of that album arrives through Unique Leader. And it’s a tremendous album, by the way.
• Next up, new stuff is on the way from Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats. Nell’ Ora Blu, drops on May 10 through Rise Above Records, but it looks like preorder options are still to come. We’ll keep you posted as that, and any new material, surfaces.
• Brutal death metal project Brodequin set March 22 as the release date for Harbinger of Woe. That new album will be out through Season of Mist, and a clip for the title-track can be seen here.
• Symphonic black metallers Vesperian Sorrow shared the new song “They Beheld the Chainbreaker’s Crowning Defiance”. That’s taken from their upcoming fifth studio album, Awaken the Greylight, which is out on April 26 through Black Lion Records.
• And we’ll wrap up with Vexed. With a European tour on the horizon, they unveiled a new video for “It’s not the end”, which you can see below. That track is taken from 2023’s Negative Energy, which is out through Napalm.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
