I am currently in Boston. That’s all I’ve got.

• To open things up, we have long-time favorites Crypt Sermon. They have a new EP on the way, Saturnian Appendices, which will feature a collection of B-sides taken from The Stygian Rose. Check out the visualizer for “Only Ash and Dust” here. That collection will be out through Dark Descent Records on August 8th.
• Japanese speed metal crew Verdalack released the new track “Axehead”, the second revealed from their debut album Force From the Grave. That album is out on July 25th via Hells Headbangers Records.
• Maltese death metallers Beheaded shared a new single, the title track, from Għadam. Their seventh album will also be out on July 25th through Agonia Records.
• Norwegian instrumental progressive rock project Agropelter are releasing their debut LP, The Book of Hours, on July 25th through The Lasers Edge. Check out “Levitator” now.
• Bay Area thrash seems a good ending point. Forbidden dropped a video for their new track, “Divided By Zero”. That’s their first new music in 15 years, and they’ve got a busy festival season ahead as well. Good stuff.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
