I started this. But then I was watching this random game on TV. So I ended up finishing it this morning. Oops!

• Japanese horror-inspired USBM sounds like a fun way to start. Saidan unleashed the new single “Immersed by Eternity’s Blade”. Their fourth album, FANGDRILLER: Scars Beneath Memory’s Wrist, gets here next week through Avantgarde Music.
• Swedish metal crew Xion are releasing their second album, When Stars Collide, on September 11th through Fireflash Records. Hear the first sample from that, “Zero Light”, right now.
• Mortem are back. The second album from the Norwegian duo of Sverd and Marius Vold is out on July 3rd through Peaceville, titled Mørketid. Give the lyric video for “Skyggeånd”, the leading single, a watch here.
• Let’s end this with the new single and video from Hulder. The dark black metal project will release Verbolgen on August 7th through 20 Buck Spin and “”View From Nemeton” can be found below. Oh, and here are some August dates with Dimmu Borgir as well. Dope.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
