Two days done this week and it’s only going to get crazier from here. Let’s fucking go.

• Let’s start with some tech death. Retromorphosis are entering 2025 with the second single pulled from their debut album, this one titled “The Tree”. Check out the visualizer for it here. That album, Psalmus Mortis, is out on February 21st through Season of Mist.
• I know a few of us in the 9C camp are excited about this -(16)- news. A new full-length, Guides For The Misguided, is set for a February 7th release through Relapse Records. Watch or stream “Proudly Damned” here.
• Cloakroom announced that their new album, Last Leg of the Human Table, is coming on February 28th through Closed Casket Activities, with a Chicago release show to follow on April 12th. Check out “Bad Larry” now.
• Thrash veterans Warbringer also have a new album on the way (2025 is gonna be busy). Wrath and Ruin gets here on March 14th through Napalm Records and a video for “A Better World” is available now.
• And let’s end this SMWT with Crown Magnetar. The Colorado deathcore outfit have set March 7th as the release date for their new EP Punishment. That will be out through Unique Leader, and a clip for “Bringer of Dead Light” is below.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
