Even earlier still! This is what happens when I can get my run in during lunch. I get to do this and watch soccer.

• Green Carnation have announced the final installment of their current album trilogy. A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex will be out on September 4th, and “Unconditional Artificial Chemistry” is available as the leading single. I cannot wait to listen to this project in full.
• Ukrainian modern metal band Ignea shared the first single off of their upcoming new album. Monumental drops on October 23rd through Napalm Records, and here is “Dreams of Lands Unseen”.
• Massachusetts metal and hardcore crew Fuming Mouth have The Ringing Bell coming on July 17th through Triple B Records. The latest offering from that, “Cheat Death”, can be seen here. Oh, and they’re on tour with Six Feet Under in August, and then Revocation shortly after. Busy but awesome times.
• Yooooo. Russian Circles happenings. They have a new album coming on August 28th through Sargent House titled Nine. Give “Empath” a watch and listen below. But wait, there’s more! They also have a substantial North American run later this year. And here are those dates.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
