It’s back to winter temperatures. It’s raining. No matter! We grill on.

• To kick off the week, we have Warmen. Following their 2023 comeback, Here For None, they’re back in 2025 with Band Of Brothers. That one drops on August 15th via Reaper Entertainment and the cover art and track listing were just revealed. We’ll stay tuned for… new tunes.
• New Zealand metallic hardcore crew Standover released a new track titled “Forever Contempt”, taken from their upcoming debut album. …When A Clenched Fist Is No Longer An Option is set for a June 9th release through Gutter Prince Cabal.
• Boston caustic rock outfit Miracle Blood released Hello Hell last November through Nefarious Industries, and they’ll be following that up in 2025 with a spring/summer tour. Here’s the full schedule. (I have my eye on that Portsmouth date, by the way.)
• Let’s close with Finnish heavy sludge force Abysmal Rites. They offered up a new video for the track “The Zone”, taken from Restoring The Primordial Order. That album is out now through Wormholedeath.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
