News is a little light today, but let’s see what we can dig up…

Opening up, we have Finland’s Nightside, who are marking their comeback with Lions (Demo 2023). That will be out on CD come April 22 through Purity Through Fire, and you can give “Gates of Hell” a listen here.
Next up, we’ve got new stuff from Skindred. Their new album, Smile, doesn’t drop until August 4 through Earache Records, but a new video for “Set Fazers” can be seen here.
How about some Italian blackened death? Exitium are releasing their debut, Imperitous March For Abysmal Glory, on May 12 through Time to Kill Records. Give “The Sinister Sedition” a listen here.
Terzo, the drone/shoegaze project from pop/rock artists Billie Lindahl and Karl Clinton, released “Eve Seven” recently. That track is taken from their upcoming self-titled debut, which is out on April 21 through Icons Creating Evil Art.
We’ll close out with a bit of prog metal because… why not? The clip from Black Orchid Empire for “The Raven” is available below. That’s taken from their upcoming album, Tempus Veritas, which drops on April 14 through Season of Mist.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”

I have been on quite the Four Stroke Baron binge today. Wild.

We’ll start with something in more of the prog rock space. Black Orchid Empire are releasing Tempus Veritas on April 14 through Season of Mist, and today they unveiled “Glory To The King”. Give the lyric video for that a watch here.
How about a tour next? Wailin Storms have some North American dates coming up, running from May 17 through early June. Naturally, they’ll be supporting last year’s The Silver Snake Unfolds, which is out through Gilead.
Cemetary have signed on to join the Atomic Fire Records roster, with a new record on the horizon sometime later this year. Considering all the years of inactivity, we’re going to keep a close eye on what the Swedish cult metal project is up to.
More Swedish things! Industrial collective Deathstars are releasing Everything Destroys You on May 5 through Nuclear Blast, and today they shared a new video for the second single from that effort, “Midnight Party”.
Enforced are releasing War Remains on April 28 through Century Media, and I feel like I need some thrash in my life this evening, so I’ll see myself out with their new track “Hanged By My Hand”. Give it a watch below.
