So many keys to pound tonight. Let’s make this quick.

• First, an update from Fire In The Mountains, which I couldn’t be more excited to share. Wardruna have been announced as the 2025 headliner and collaborative partner with the Blackfeet Nation. So cool. All the details for the event can be found here. I’ll see ya out there.
• Category 7 announced their debut US tour, set for March 2025. Support will be provided by Exhorder, Hand Of The Tribe, Dead By Wednesday, and Engineered Society Project, depending on the date. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday.
• We know Planes Mistaken For Stars are releasing a new album on November 1 through Deathwish titled Do You Still Love Me?, right? Good. Today they offered up the next single from that collection in “Arrow”. Keep this release in your periphery.
• Rivers of Nihil are releasing a remixed/remastered version of their debut EP, Hierarchy. That will be out on November 8 through Metal Blade. And it sounds like a new album is coming next year as well? That’s rad.
• Zombie metal sounds fun. Tis the season and all that. Dominum’s The Dead Don’t Die (ok, I kinda need to eyeroll at this, but it’s a good eyeroll) is out on December 27 through Napalm and a video for the title track can be found below.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
