I am exhausted. Last night’s Amenra performance was worth the effort. But… yeah I am exhausted.

• Oh look! Speaking of tours, here’s another one I’m going to keep on my radar. Puscifer, Primus, and A Perfect Circle across North America in the first half of 2025. Tickets go on sale at the end of the week, and all that stuff you need is here.
• Funeral, the, uh, funeral doom project out of Norway, have set October 18 as the release date for Gospel of Bones. That will be a Season of Mist release, and “Procession of Misery” can be heard here. All 10 minutes of it. Because, you know, funeral doom and stuff.
• And then some folk metal. Subway to Sally are releasing their 15th studio album on December 20 through Napalm Records, titled Post Mortem. To date, I have explored exactly zero of the previous 14 albums. Will I fix that? Maybe!
• Smash Atoms, a new (kinda) project out of Sweden, are releasing their self-titled debut album on October 11 through M-Theory Audio and preorders are officially up for those interested. A couple of advance singles, titled “Down” and “Into the Light”, are also floating out there.
• Life Knife Death, the latest album from Wolfbrigade that just emerged through Metal Blade, has been a popular one around here. So, let’s end Monday with the new video for “Ways to Die”. Ok bye!

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
