I had a feeling this was going to be a week. And indeed, it is proving to be a week.

• Remember Batushka, but like, the second Batushka? Well, they’re Patriarkh now. And they have a new album coming on January 3 through Napalm Records titled ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ. Give “WIERSZALIN III” a listen here. No, I don’t know how to say any of that either.
• When new things emerge from Thy Catafalque, we tend to talk about them. With XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek out a month from today through Season of Mist, we’ve been provided an animated video for “Piros kocsi, fekete éj”. More things I can’t say!
• Living Gate, the new death metal project featuring members of Amenra, Yob, and others released a new track titled “Destroy And Consume”. That’s the latest from Suffer As One, which drops on the 25th through Relapse Records.
• Post-metal? Ok. Besra announced a new video for the title track off of their upcoming EP, Equilibrium. That’s out on November 1 through Suicide Records.
• Finally, a new video, and one that’s quite jarring, from Vomit Forth for “Salt”. Terrified of God is out through Century Media, and you can catch them on the road now with The Black Dahlia Murder and Dying Fetus.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
