I sure am looking forward to the schedule opening up a bit… in like a month. Eh, maybe I’m not.

• We open with an obvious one. Lamb of God are back with “Sepsis”, their first new song since 2022’s Omens. That single is out through Epic Records. Pick your preferred streaming platform here.
• Italian black metal band Vacua unveiled the first single from their new album, titled “Dies Funeris Terrae”. A lyric video for that is available here, and Mater is out on November 7th.
• Mental Cruelty released a heavy new track titled “Helheim”, which features David Simonich of Signs of the Swarm. Their North American run is underway now.
• Hooded Menace are releasing Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration tomorrow, which I’m super excited about, so here’s the full album stream a little early. That will be out through Season of Mist.
• And we’ll wrap up with a Nuclear Blast item. Check out the video from The Narrator for “Pills From The Start” below. The metalcore crew also have a European run kicking off soon, should you be interested.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
