And I’m back! After shooting two shows in three nights, it’s been a wild ride. More from those coming soon.

• We start the week with The Eternal who are releasing Obscured Horizons on September 18th through RPM. Give “Lament for the Hollow” a watch and listen for the latest offering from their upcoming new studio album.
• I like desert rock, so let’s see what Bantoriak are up to. A new album, simply titled Vol. II, will be out on June 19th through Argonauta Records. And to mark the announcement they delivered the first single from that, titled “Blu Bus”.
• For something a little… denser, heavy doom crew Illwind have set July 3rd as the release date for their debut, The Unfolding at the End of Light. That will be available through Personal Records and “Crimson Skies” can be heard through Bandcamp.
• New York avant death metal entity Thætas have The Irredeemable Age coming on June 26th through Profound Lore and “For The Hope Devoid” is ready for your listening pleasure now.
• I’ll see myself out with the new video from Spell for “Exquisite Corpse”, which you can find below as always. That’s pulled from the hypnotic heavy metal project’s new album, Wretched Heart, which just dropped through Bad Omen Records.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
