By the time this publishes I’ll be back in the dessert. I’ll catch you all in a week.

• Italian pagan folk metal outfit Elvenking, who recently signed on with Reaper Entertainment, released a new single in the form of a lyric video, titled “Throes Of Atonement”.
• New York death thrash crew Final Siege joined the Wormholedeath roster recently and have a new album, Nuclear Doom State, arriving on December 27th. Check out the video for “Taxed To Death” here.
• Athena XIX, the Italian progressive metallers, revealed a new single titled “The Calm Before The Storm”. Everflow Part 1: Frames Of Humanity is out this coming Friday through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).
• A couple from Pelagic Records to close out. First, Jaye Jayle, a gothic bluesy project I’ve grown quite fond of, are releasing After Alter on January 31st. Give the new song “Father Fiction” a listen.
• And we’ll wrap up with the latest from SOM. They have a new album on the way titled Let The Light In. That’s set for a March 14th release through Pelagic Records. Check out the video for “Give Blood” below.

And on that note, I’m signing off until next week. See ya when I see ya.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
