• Japanese black metal legends Sigh, who I am so stoked to see at FITM 2026, are reissuing their classic 1997 albums Ghastly Funeral Theatre (January 23rd) and Hail Horror Hail (February 27th) through Peaceville.
• Colombian blackened melodic death metal outfit Eshtadur released their latest single “Fire Above Mountain Below”, from Symphonic Crows – Live at the Santiago Londoño’s Theater. Check out the video here.
• Capsize recently signed on with Roux & Ruin Records, and have dropped their first new material since that announcement. Give “The Fracture” a watch and listen.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
