CANTO: Dååth, Unleash The Archers, Four Stroke Baron, and More

So much stuff emerged today!

We’ll start with Four Stroke Baron who revealed details around their fourth album. Data Diamond will be out on May 31 through Prosthetic Records, and a video for “The Witch” is available now. Honestly this wasn’t my favorite new thing that surfaced today, but like all things Four Stroke Baron my opinion will probably change after one or two more listens.
What I did take to immediately, however, was the latest new track from Unleash The Archers. A performance video for “Ghosts In The Mist” can be seen here, and a quick reminder that Phantoma arrives on May 10 through Napalm Records.
Next up, the new album from Vale of Pnath. Between The Worlds of Life and Death is slated for a May 24 release through Willowtip Records, and “Burning Light” is streaming over at Metal Injection. That one I have not heard yet.
Hatebreed have announced a tour celebrating their 30th anniversary, scheduled for September and October. Joining them will be Carcass, Harms Way, and Crypta, which is pretty awesome. Tickets go on sale Friday here.
And since this is my post we’re obviously going to end our Tuesday with the new track from Dååth. The video for “Hex Unending” is below, and yes, it is quite good. That one I did listen to. Twice. Maybe three times. The Deceivers is set to drop on May 3 through Metal Blade.

Let’s face it, the only reason this post happens is because it takes forever to clean out the inbox each day already. Multitasking!

Now this is a tour I hope someone on the Nine Circles team covers. Carcass, with Municipal Waste, Sacred Reich, and Creeping Death. Those North American dates fall (almost entirely) in April. As always, tickets go on sale this coming Friday.
Next up, we have a new video from Orthodox, launched just ahead of their upcoming tour. Give the clip for “Nothing to See” a watch here. That’s a track taken from Learning To Dissolve, which dropped last year through Century Media.
Alright, let’s work in some death metal. Siege Of Power are releasing This Is Tomorrow on February 17 through Metal Blade, and today they unveiled a visualizer for “The Devil’s Grasp”.
Crown Lands are releasing their sophomore album, Fearless, on March 31 through Spinefarm Records. Check out “Starlifter: Fearless Pt. II”, the epic 18-minute opener, right here.
Closing out, we have the hardcore punk project known as Venomous Concept. Below you’ll find the video for “Fractured”. The new album, The Good Ship Lollipop, will be out on February 24 through Decibel Records.

Another late running World Cup match, a beer, and no more work for the week. Yay.

We can open with a cinematic new video from Amon Amarth for “Oden Owns You All”. Give it a watch here. It’s fun, as usual. The Great Heathen Army is out now through Metal Blade, and there are still a few dates remaining on their headlining run with Carcass, Obituary, and Cattle Decapitation.
Austrian thrashers Insanity Alert have reissued their second full-length album, Moshburger, and marked the date with a new performance video of “Run to the Pit”. That footage is from Wacken Open Air 2022, and that album was reissued through Season of Mist.
Swedish metallers Screamer released a new single, titled “The Traveler”. Their new album, Kingmaker, is coming January 13, and will be available through Steamhammer/SPV.
Sci-fi metal collective Curse of Cain issued a new video for “Alive” today, and that’s available to view here. They also just signed on with Atomic Fire, so there should be cool stuff coming in the near future.
Abrasive black metal band Dryad revealed the third single from The Abyssal Plain, titled “Pompeii Worm”. We’ll close out the week with the visualizer for that below. That album drops on January 20 through Prosthetic Records.

The work week before vacation always sucks, but what are ya gonna do?

The most obvious thing to open up with is the massive tour announcement featuring the likes of Amon Amarth, with Carcass, Obituary, and Cattle Decapitation. Those dates are in November and December, and tickets go on sale Friday at this location.
If you like trippy, psychedelic black metal, check out the latest from Xenoglyph. They’re streaming Spiritfraud in full over at Decibel (accompanied by an interview). That one is officially out Friday through Translation Loss.
Oceans Of Slumber covered “House Of The Rising Sun”, which is pretty dope. That track is featured on Starlight And Ash, which drops on July 22nd through Century Media. Check out that visualizer right here.
Withered added some dates over the next few months around their festival appearances. Get the full schedule here, and be sure to drop in on one of these shows if your calendar allows for it.
Tombs gave us new stuff today, and I really like Tombs, so that’s the note we’re going to end on. Check out “Murder Legendre” below, the final single from the Ex Oblivion EP. All those tracks will be available on your favorite streaming platform soon enough.

Busy times at 9C these days… can’t hate it!

So this latest Carcass tour is enticing. With support from Immolation and Creeping Death, they’ll be hitting the road through most of the month of May, starting on the 12th in Austin. Tickets can be scooped up this coming Friday.
Can’t wait until Friday to hear Dread Reaver in full? Well, I have good news for you. Abbath is streaming his latest album in full a few days ahead of the release date. Give it a listen here. Spoiler alert: it’s quite good. That one is out through Season of Mist.
RippleFest Texas revealed their full 2022 lineup, and it’s a good one. The Sword, Crowbar, Spirit Adrift, and The Obsessed, to name a few, are all coming together for what should be an awesome weekend. The festival is set for July 21st through 24th, and tickets can be acquired here.
Out of Pelagic Records, we have a new album coming from psychedelic metal collective Druids. Shadow Work is set for a June 3rd release, and you can stream the first track from that album, “Ide’s Koan”, immediately below.
