And I’m back! The chaos continues. But I’m back all the same! What did I miss?

• Swedish post-metal collective Novarupta have announced that their final album will be out on February 14th through Suicide Records, titled Astral Sands. Give “Endless Joy” a listen over at Bandcamp.
• If you’ve been on more of a metalcore kick recently, you might be interested in the upcoming The Devil Wears Prada tour. Kicking off in April, they’ll be joined by Erra, Kingdom of Giants, and Acres. Tickets go on sale Friday here.
• I think we’ve all been introduced to the project that is Patriarkh at this point, so let’s jump to the new visualizer for “ВЕРШАЛИН II”. As a reminder, ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ is out on January 3rd through Napalm Records.
• Burning Witches offered up a new anthem titled “Mirror, Mirror”, along with an accompanying lyric video. That track is featured on the new two-track 12″ single The Spell Of The Skull.
• And to close out… Tuesday I believe it is? We have a new live video from TesseracT for “War of Being”. That footage is from their 2024 Radar Festival headlining set. They also have a world tour in 2025, tickets for which can be found here.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
