Well that sure was a frustrating day! I think I’m just about ready to run away to another country at this point. But, after Canto of course…

• Symphonic metal legends Epica announced their new album, Aspiral, will be out on April 11th. A video for the new single “Cross The Divide” can be seen here.
• Italian doom collective Messa also have a new album set for April 11th. The Spin is the first of a couple Metal Blade releases I’ll mention tonight. Give “At Races” a watch or listen.
• Thornhill, a project I was previously unfamiliar with, announced a whole bunch of things. Bodies will be out on April 4th through UNFD and “Silver Swarm” can be heard here. On top of that, they are also embarking on their first North American headlining tour in early April.
• Out of Agonia Records, we have Finnish melancholic doom metal outfit Hanging Garden and their music video for the new single “The First Sunrise”. Their new EP, The Unending, is out on March 14th.
• Thursday is going to end with Mantar. With Post Apocalyptic Depression set for a February 14th release through Metal Blade, they gave us a video for the new single “Rex Perverso”. Give it a watch below. I’m going to go make food now.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
