So let’s recap. I skipped the news round-up yesterday because… life, and I’m drafting it before I’ve even finished my coffee today because I’ll be on the road all afternoon. Fun times, indeed.

We’ll start with Mortiferum. Their sophomore release will be titled Preserved In Torment, and it is set for a November 5th release through Profound Lore. A few of us at the site are really excited about this news. Check out the first single, “Eternal Procession, right now.
Atreyu dropped a remix of “Warrior”, which features Travis Barker and Zero 9:36. As a reminder, their newest album, Baptize, is out now through Spinefarm.
For those somehow unaware, Spirit Adrift released Forge Your Future today, their predictably incredible new EP. That’s out through Century Media, and to celebrate, let’s check out the new lyric video for “Invisible Enemy”.
German modern metal collective Venues also have a new album out today. Solace is out through Arising Empire, and you can check out the new video for “Deceptive Faces” right now.
It’s been a minute since we’ve checked in on DragonForce, so let’s close out the week with the new video from them for “Troopers of the Stars”, taken from 2019’s Extreme Power Metal. Quite the vibe these dudes are throwing out these days.

CANTO: King Woman, Red Fang, Burning Witches, and More

Today was a little more tame, which is all I can ask for.

King Woman has set July 30th as the release date for the highly anticipated sophomore album, Celestial Blues. That will be out through Relapse Records, and is available for pre-order here. Check out the clip for “Morning Star” while you’re at it.
Red Fang have announced a U.S. tour, scheduled for this coming October and November. Support will be provided by Starcrawler, Here Lies Man, and Warish. I will definitely be attending this one, because Red Fang is awesome… and even more awesome live. And a reminder, Arrows is out this Friday, also through Relapse.
Atreyu has also announced a fairly massive U.S. tour this coming November and December. They’ll be supported by Tetrarch, Crown The Empire, Saul, and Defying Decay. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday, but there’s always a pre-sale code for those that want it.
We have a couple videos worth sharing today (subjective), and we’ll start with Vreid. They dropped the clip for “Dazed and Reduced”, which is taken from the recently released Wild North West, out through Season of Mist.
And we’ll close with the video from Burning Witches. The Witch Of The North is out now through Nuclear Blast, and the new video for “We Stand As One” is available immediately below.

Ok, getting back on track for the rest of week. Something like that.

The highly anticipated sophomore release from Crown, The End Of All Things, is steadily approaching. Today, they released the new single, “Shades”. The official release date is set for April 16th, through Pelagic Records, with pre-orders also available at that link. I’m definitely excited about this one.
For those that can’t wait an extra day for the release of At Night We Prey, I have good news. Nightfall is streaming their new album in full at this link. But, like I said, it’s out officially tomorrow through Season of Mist, and you can still snag a physical copy if you feel so inclined.
Atreyu news for anyone that might be interested. Today they released two new tracks, “Warrior” and “Underrated”, the former of which features Travis Barker, which is pretty cool. Of course, those releases also came with a new album announcement. Baptize will be out on June 4th through Spinefarm Records, and pre-orders are already up.
For those planning on checking out Roadburn Redux, and you should, another slew of bands was announced today. The list includes Primitive Man, Mizmor, Wayfarer, and more. Here’s some more info, if you need it.
And we’ll close with a new video clip from The Amenta for “Psoriastasis”. Revelator is out now through Debemur Morti Productions. Dang, solid roundup today…

I find myself residing in central Appalachia this week.

Atreyu have announced a couple of streaming events on November 20th and December 4th. The first will be a greatest hits set and the second will feature Lead Sails Paper Anchor in full. Tickets available here.
Porcupine Tree are releasing The Delerium Years box set on November 20th. The 13 CD box set features all of their recordings issued by the Delerium label (between 1992 and 1997). Pre-order it here.
Khandra have signed on to a fresh new deal with Season of Mist. The black metallers are preparing for a new album release sometime next year. So we’ll keep an eye on that one.
Within The Ruins have released a new music video for “Black Heart”, the title-track from their new studio album, which drops on November 27th through eOne and Good Fight Music. Check it.

Slow day but let’s try and whip something up. And then I guess I’ll go to the mountains.

Devin Townsend is preparing for an enhanced released of 2019’s Empath. This release, titled Empath – The Ultimate Edition, will feature the original record as well as a couple Blu-Ray discs that feature bonus material, documentary footage, and more. And it will be out on June 5th.
Loviatar have a new album dropping on Friday (April 3rd) called Lightless through Prosthetic Records. If you’ve needed some doom in your life, you can get a sample of that record today through the new music video for “Horse In Thrall”.
Looks like Atreyu have released a song with M. Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold) and Aaron Gillespie (Underoath). That’s interesting. The song is called “Super Hero”, and you can check out here if you feel so inclined.
Lastly, we’ll close with a new lyric video from Wednesday 13 for “The Hearse”. That is taken from the most recent album, Necrophaze, which is out now on Nuclear Blast. Enjoy.
