I have officially registered for a race next year. Again! Again!

• We’ll start with Black Coast, who announced their signing to the Papercut Recordings roster and released the new single “Overflow” to mark the occasion. That marks a new chapter, and the first taste of a new album we could expect early in 2026.
• Greek metal crew Nightfall are touring Europe later this month, and today they gave us a visualizer for “The Traders of Anathema”. That tribute to Judas Iscariot is taken from Children of Eve, their 11th studio album out now through Season of Mist.
• Let’s stay in Greece and see what power metal outfit Sirius are up to. They dropped a video for “Edge of the World”, a track from their debut full-length album. A Quest for Life is out now through Wormholedeath.
• Belgian thrashers Cyclone have signed on with M-Theory Audio and revealed a new single and music video titled “Eliminate”. Their forthcoming new EP, Known Unto God, is out on February 6th.
• Whitechapel are about to embark on a North American run with Bodysnatcher, Angelmaker, and Disembodied Tyrant, so let’s wrap up with their new video for “Prisoner 666”. That’s taken from Hymns In Dissonance, which is out through Metal Blade.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
