This week has been, in a word, sluggish.

• Alright we have a couple more tours to share today. To start, the 2025 version of the Decibel Magazine Tour will feature Mayhem, Mortiis, Imperial Triumphant, and New Skeletal Faces. The party starts on March 17th in Atlanta and tickets go on sale Friday.
• And the second tour I feel like mentioning is Arch Enemy with support from Fit For An Autopsy, Baest, and Thrown Into Exile. April and May dates. Here’s the ticket link. Oh! And their new album, Blood Dynasty, is out on March 28 via Century Media.
• Perfect Plan announced a new studio album, Heart Of A Lion, will be out on February 28th through Frontiers Music Srl. Check out the video for the first single, “We Are Heroes”, right here. This feels like a thing… I do not care about. Moving on!
• Epic death metal outfit Ex Deo have a new EP coming on January 10th through Reigning Phoenix Music titled Year Of The Four Emperors. Give the first single, “Vespasian”, a listen here.
• And to close out we have the new video from Jonathan Hultén. Check out “Falling Mirages” below. That’s the second sample from Eyes Of The Living Night, which arrives on January 31st through Kscope.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
