Yes, it was one of those Friday nights again. And by that I mean… it was one in which I preferred editing photos over dealing with the inbox. Saturday morning coffee, however? Here I come.

• How about some Narcotic Wasteland as they embark on their latest tour? “Fentanyl Zombie Apocalypse” can be heard here, and tickets for that current run that just kicked off last week are available here.
• Living Weapon just released Death In The Family through Closed Casket Activities yesterday, so let’s help them celebrate the occasion by dropping in their new video for “In Loving Memory”.
• Next up, a new single (and lyric video) from Extinction A.D. titled “Insomnia”. That’s the seventh single in as many months from the hardcore/thrash crossover crew. So, basically a new album has come our way in 2026. Dope.
• Another upcoming release we’ll note comes from Movements. They have Happier Now arriving on September 4th through Fearless Records and a video for “Live By The Sword” just dropped yesterday.
• Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats feels like the right note to end on before I head out for the day. Give the clip for “House By The Grave” a watch below. Shapes Of Midnight is out on September 18th through Killer Candy Records.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
