New year, same pessimism!

• In case you weren’t aware, Striker is cruising around North America with Beast in Black and Seven Kingdoms. Those dates mostly occupy April, and you can find the full schedule here. They also dropped a video for “Deathwish” not too long ago, just in case you missed it.
• California-based melodic death metal crew Darkness Everywhere has completed production for their debut EP, The Seventh Circle. That is set for a release late next month through Creator-Destructor. You can pre-order that, and check out a new single titled “Reign of Chaos”, over on their Bandcamp page.
• Let’s check in with Cryptum, the thrash/death metal collective from Illinois. Their new EP, Vile Emergence, will be out on February 24th through Caligari Records. You can pre-order that, including CD and cassette formats, at their Bandcamp. Be sure to check out the title-track while you’re at it.
• Wrapping up this miserable Monday with something more… theatrical, we have the new video from DiAmorte for “Where The Light Grows Cold”. Give it a watch below, and be sure to check back in with us tomorrow… and every day after that.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
