Had a good day on the trails yesterday. And then had to work today. Bad progression of activities!

Los Angeles death metal faction Kommand are releasing Death Age, their sophomore album, on March 31 through 20 Buck Spin. Today they shared a new single from that effort, “Global Death”, which you can check out here.
California psych doom crew Acid King premiered a new track over at Rock Hard titled “Mind’s Eye”. Their fifth album, Beyond Vision, is out on March 24 through Blues Funeral Recordings’ PostWax series.
Quick update from Alice Cooper. Nita Strauss will be returning to his band for this year’s upcoming touring, starting with the North American run kicking off on April 28.
Moon Oracle have set April 13 as the international release date for their second album, Ophidian Glare, which will be available for Signal Rex and Bestial Burst. Hear the new tracks, “The Numinous Gate Opens” and “Nethereal Axe” over on their Bandcamp.
Der Weg einer Freiheit is one of my favorites, so let’s close the book on today with the performance video for “Am Rande der Dunkelheit”, which features footage from last year’s headlining tour. That track, of course, is taken from 2021’s Noktvrn, which is available through Season of Mist.

Holy shit a lot happened today.

And since this is my post, we’re going to start off with my favorite. The Ocean Collective unveiled a new track today, titled “Preboreal”. The lyric video for that track can be seen here. Not a whole lot of other information has emerged surrounding this, but it’s obvious something awesome is on the horizon.
Acid King are returning with a new album on March 24th, titled Beyond Vision, an effort that will be available through Blues Funeral Recordings. A sample of the new collection is streaming over at Revolver, specifically for “Destination Psych/Beyond Vision”.
Full of Hell and Primitive Man announced a 5-song collaborative release titled Suffocating Hallucination. That will be released on March 3rd through Closed Casket Activities, and the first single, “Rubble Home”, is available now.
The Black Dahlia Murder are returning to the stage for “The Verminous Remnant Tour 2023”, which runs from April 14th through May 26th. They’ll be joined by Terror, Frozen Soul, Fuming Mouth, and Phobophilic.
Closing out, we have another personal favorite. Insomnium debuted a new single, titled “The Witch Hunter”, with an accompanying music video. You can give that a watch below. That track, obviously, is taken from Anno 1696, an album set for a February 24th release through Century Media.

This rest of this week is gonna be a bit wild.

The Otolith, a symphonic doom project featuring SubRosa members (that I fell in love with at FITM), premiered a new track over at Metalsucks today titled “Andromeda’s Wing”. Their debut album, Folium Limina, is out now through Blues Funeral Recordings.
Next up, out of Napalm Records, we have Warkings. The third single from Morgana, titled “Hellfire”, is available for your viewing and listening pleasure here. That album officially drops this coming Friday, November 11.
All Out War are releasing Celestial Rot on February 3 through Translation Loss Records, and today they unveiled a new single through Metal Injection titled “Wrath/Plague”.
Closing out, we have the new music video from Bizarrekult for “Du Lovet Meg”. That track is taken from the solo black metal project’s sophomore album Den Tapte Krigen. That drops on January 27 through Season of Mist.

*How do you NOT use this pic for the header?*

Fearless Editor Josh™ is on a much needed vacation from the 9C offices cooking up some lovely shrimp dishes with his family, so I’m taking the reins for this week’s Initial Descent to let you heathens know what’s the what in new music being released this week. And right off the bat we got Matt Harvey and the gang from Exhumed serving up their new platter just in time for, uh…monsters and pirate cosplay, I guess? Who knows, the album kicks ass. Elsewhere we got a pair of post-rock hammers falling with both God Alone and Lost in Kiev, the re-emergence of SubRosa in their new guise of The Otolith and finally, since you know you’re curious, rising like a one-eyed yellow and black phoenix it’s Stryper. Because I don’t know if we’ve ever mentioned Stryper on this site, and I admit I dig the single.

CANTO: Katatonia, The Otolith, Kampfar, and More

I really wanted to get to this yesterday because there was plenty of good stuff going on, but alas, I guess I’ll share all that a day late.

For instance, this Katatonia tour with The Ocean is one that I absolutely cannot miss. The dates are in November, and you can bet I’m going to be attending at least one of them. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday.
Let’s transition to something a little different. In the cybergrind world, we have the latest stuff from Thotcrime, a new track titled “Critical Codependence”, which is streaming over at Brooklyn Vegan. That’s taken from D1G1T4L_DR1FT, which drops on October 28th through Prosthetic Records.
And then we have The Otolith, a band I had the pleasure of checking out at FITM. Their debut album, Folium Limina is set for an October 21st release through Blues Funeral Recordings. The first single, “Sing No Coda”, can be streamed pretty much anywhere.
And closing out our Wednesday that feels like it should be a Friday, we have something new from Kampfar. Give “Flammen fra Nord” a listen below. Pre-order Til Klovers Takt right here. That drops on November 11.
