It appears as though this particular work week will bleed into… literally the rest of the year including weekends and holidays. Neat!

• Swedish heavy rockers Temple of Discord (featuring members of Wytch) have signed on with Ripple Music for the release of their debut album In The Ashes. That’s out on February 21st but you can give “The Reaper” a listen now.
• Vastum has a string of early 2025 dates, kicking off March 27th in Tacoma. The dates are above obviously, and note this also includes a Decibel Beer & Metal Fest set… [I would like to go to there]. Anyway, here’s a link to Inward To Gethsemane, out on 20 Buck Spin.
• Chilean stoner doom crew Ocultum signed with Heavy Psych Sounds to release their new album Buena Muerte, which is out on February 28th. Check out “Last Weed On Earth” over at Doomed & Stoned.
• Spanish black metal! Monhell released the new single “Fade to Dust”, a track pulled from their upcoming new album A Last Sigh of Pain. It’s good! And that’s… all I got.
• Many of us seem to be excited about the upcoming album from The Great Old Ones, so Thursday will close with the visualizer for “Under the Sign of Koth”. Kadath is out on January 24th through Season of Mist.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
