Five more long work days. Then Fire In The Mountains. Then… who knows. It’s a beautiful thing.

• West Coast thrash veterans Dark Angel have announced their first North American tour in, shit, a few decades now. They’ll be joined by Sacred Reich, Hirax, Vio-Lence, Midnight, Void, and Interceptor, and it all kicks off on September 5th in San Diego.
• Connecticut noise rock entity Intercourse have set September 12th as the release date for their new full-length, How I Fell In Love With The Void. That will be out through Brutal Panda Records and a video for “The Ballad Of Max Wright” is available now.
• Something different! Rising reggaecore group Aurorawave also announced a September/October tour, with support by Brace Yourself. That will serve as the live unveiling of Monument, their new full-length out on August 15th.
• Louisiana’s Void set August 29th as the release date for Forbidden Morals, their second album. It will be out through Shadow Kingdom Records and a video for “Return of the Phantom” can be seen here.
• And to end our Tuesday, we have Alpha Destroyer and the video for “Fastlane”. That’s the title track from their upcoming new album, out later in 2025 through Necromantic Press Records.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
