A great weekend meant this Monday was largely tolerable? Weird! Also: I have a new old camera!

• We’ll start with a tour because those are fun and easy and live music rules. Of Mice & Men have a North American headlining run in May with support from Gore. and Until I Wake. Tickets go on sale January 29th and can be found here.
• German thrashers Destruction are releasing Birth Of Malice on March 7th through Napalm Records. I believe I’ve shared that before. Well, a couple of days ago they released a new track titled “A.N.G.S.T.” which I have not shared. But I just did. Moving on.
• Danish blackened doom trio Katla are releasing their debut album Scandinavian Pain on March 21st through Napalm Records as well. To get things moving they shared a video for the new track “Taurus”. I’m entertained.
• Shadow Records have set February 28th as the release date for Emanating Sparks, the second album from Swedish black metal entity Voodus. Give the recently released title track a listen over on Bandcamp.
• Yo, gang. The new Deafheaven track absolutely rips. Check out the video for “Magnolia” below. Lonely People With Power is out on March 28th and I am QUITE excited about it.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
