Alright, my dear friends, this is finally… officially… my sign off for a little while. But! Fret not. I always come back. In this case, like, before the end of the month. It’s fine. I swear. Now, what did Friday offer us?

• We should probably start all of this up with Immortal Bird, who are releasing a new album on October 18 through 20 Buck Spin titled Sin Querencia. Check out “Plastered Sainthood” here.
• There’s always room for black metal. So! Norwegian outfit Odio Deus are here with their new lyric video for “The Con Man”. That’s the latest single from Spiritual Syphilis, which is apparently out through Wormholedeath.
• To celebrate the release of To The Detested, out now through Unique Leader, Extinction A.D. offered up a video for “Burnt Sienna”. Just in case you need some hardcore (with a dash of thrash!) this lovely Saturday morning.
• Things out of Hammerheart tend to be worth our time, so next up is Ereb Altor, who presented the new single “The Lake of Blood”. Ereb Altor’s tribute to Bathory, Blot-Ilt-Taut, is also out today on CD. All kinds of good stuff to be had.
• And we can wrap up with some German thrash. Eradicator shared the third single from The Paradox, their new album set for a September 20 release through Metalville Records. Give “Beyond the Shadow’s Void” a watch and listen below.

‘Twas a pretty quiet Friday, relatively speaking. Alright gang. It’s been real. I’ll catch ya on the other side. Watch out for bears. Wait, sorry, that last bit was for me…

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
