Let’s see if I can scrape a few pieces of relevant news together in between a million other tasks. Also, PSA, the new Darkthrone is awesome.

• Oh fuck yeah. New Pharmacist right off the bat. The Japanese goregrinders revealed the second track from the upcoming new album Vertebrae After Vertebrae. Give “Lazure Sphacelation” a listen and get ready for the release of their third album on May 29th via Hells Headbangers.
• Sweden’s Tårfödd are releasing a new mini album on June 5th titled Skyfall. That will be out through Purity Through Fire and “En värld i spillror” is available now.
• Temple Of Dread have set August 7th as the release date Dreadspawn Dominion, a Testimony Records release, and they gave us a video for the title track as the first single from that.
• Funeral doom time. Abysmal Growls Of Despair shared a lyric video for “Prologue to Agony”, serving as the first glimpse of their next album. They have Torn scheduled to drop on June 5th through Wormholedeath.
• Tuesday ends with North Carolina alt metal crew Stellar Circuits and the visualizer for “Spotlight”. This follows the release of Phantom :: Phoenix via Nuclear Blast, so clearly momentum is still high.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
