Does Twitter still work? Does anybody care? We certainly don’t.

Leading off, we have the latest from Unearth. With the release of The Wretched; The Ruinous about a month away, they unveiled the latest from that effort, titled “Into the Abyss”. Check out the video for that here. As a reminder, that album drops May 5 through Century Media.
Germany’s Eurovision Song Contest 2023 representatives Lord of the Lost dropped a video for “Forever Lost”. Give that a watch and listen here. Blood & Glitter is available through Napalm Records.
Denver death metal trio Cronos Compulsion are dropping a new EP on May 12 through Caligari Records, titled Malicious Regression. Preorder that, and give “Morbid Subconscious Explorations” a listen, right here.
Extermination Dismemberment, the slamming death metal collective out of Minsk, are dropping Dehumanization Protocol on May 5 through Unique Leader. Check out the beastly new track, “Corpsepit”, here.
Let’s close with something doomy. Below is the new video from Oceanlord for “Come Home”. That’s the second track from their forthcoming new album, Kingdom Cold, which drops on May 26 through Magnetic Eye.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”

Shorter new metal list than usual this week. I guess everyone decided to take a quick breather? No idea really, but we’ve still got some quality gems to uncover from The Halo Effect, Boris, Grotesqueries, Arch Enemy, and a handful of others. In other words, the list may be short but it has girth. As always, happy hunting and if your band or label wants to be included in an upcoming edition of this here post, hit us up at the email found on our about page and include the pertinent information. I know that sounds elementary, but you’d be surprised. Enjoy and we’ll see you here throughout the week.

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.

We’ve reached that point in the year where the quantity of new releases dwindles. So, enjoy this week while you can since the next two will be slim pickings. As a reminder, there’s a ton that came out this year you probably missed so be sure to catch up, find some favorites, and go drop some cash on them. For this week’s new release festivities we’ve got death metal from Haalbuaer, black metal from Ustalost, deathened doom or doomened death from Slog, black metal from Beyond Death’s Throne, and several more in the list below. From here, you know what to do…copy/paste and get some.

Nose still on the grindstone, still salty from last week with a few more wounds that received extra doses of salt over the past seven days, and in serious need of a vacation. At least one of those will be remedied in short order, and hopefully that will reset the others. Hopefully. Moving right along, new release list time and this week we’ve got a bit of a longer list than last week so there’ll be plenty of happy hunting for many of you. Score! We’ve got tech death from both Cognitive and Ophidian I, insane death / doom from Severed Boy, melodic death metal from Dungeon Serpent, and a whole host of stuff from nearly every genre and branch out there. Dive in, delight your earholes, and lighten your wallet.
