It’s a four day week for me. Which obviously means it will feel like an eight day week.

• We’ll start with the new Metal Blade signing in Kvaen. The Swedish extreme metal crew are preparing for the release of their third album, The Formless Fires, which arrives on June 21.
• Costa Rican industrial black metal project Dusk revealed details around their new album, Industrie. Their fifth full-length will be out on May 30, and the first single emerged today, titled “Industrie II”.
• Deathcore collective Oceano announced a North American headlining tour with The Last Ten Seconds Of Life and A Wake In Providence as support, kicking off on May 29. Here’s that ticket link.
• And then for a fresh dose of metalcore, we have the new Greek project Oathswan. For Those Who Breathe From Darkness, a new EP, will be out in a couple of months, but check out the video for the new track “Swansong” here.
• We’ll see out our Monday with the new video from Wind Rose for “Fellows Of The Hammer”. That track is taken from their most recent album, Warfront, which is out through Napalm Records. A North American tour with Xandria kicks off next week.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
