The post-work routine is just so much better this time of year.

• Opening up, we have some New Jersey thrash. Condition Critical are set to release their third full-length album, Degeneration Chamber, on September 5th. For a first taste, give the video for “Cryonic Intestinal Preservation” a watch.
• I’m still staying close to the new Abigail Williams (obviously). The third single from A Void Within Existence emerged today, the closing track titled “No Less Than Death”. That album is out on July 18th through Agonia Records.
• Nuclear Daisies revealed details around a new album today, one which will be titled First Taste of Heaven. Out on August 1st through Portrayal of Guilt Records, you can get a sample through the new single “Infinite Joy” right now.
• Cascadian black metal duo Fauna released an excerpt from the first single off Ochre & Ash, a 14-minute endeavor titled “Nature & Madness”. Their forthcoming fourth album is set for a September 26th release through Lupus Lounge.
• And to close out Monday we’ll go with… Joe Stump’s Tower of Babel. The hard rock quintet are releasing Days Of Thunder on Friday through Silver Lining Music and a video for “Rules of Silence” is below.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
