I think there’s a basketball game on or something.

Deicide have announced a North America headlining tour. Support will come from Origin, Jungle Rot, and The Absence. Dates are through May. This tour is going to be filthy.
Anybody else see this shit about bots buying out all the Metallica presale tickets for the S&M2 tour? People are NOT THRILLED. The drama is everywhere, but Metal Insider threw enough reactions in one place, so I’ll just share that.
Psycho Las Vegas has added a number of killer groups, including Deafheaven, Clutch, Carcass, and more. Check out the full updated lineup. And remember, there are still more bands to come!
Whitechapel have released a new video for “Hickory Creek”, which we’re going to watch now as a way to wrap things up. The Valley will be out next week, and Whitechapel will be on tour in April and May.

The Nine Circles ov…80s Death Metal

March 5, 2019March 3, 2019JAndrewLeave a comment

In any form of art, there’s something magical about the “early works,” those seminal points of origin that set the course for wider narrative. It’s like the moment when the archaeologist finds and examines the fossil that ties together the map of disparate species. Or like the literary researcher who finally reaches the shelf with all the old texts, dusts them off and sets to work. Early extreme metal is a lot like this. There’s that turn around 1985 when you hear bands start to pull away from classical heavy metal. The guitar and bass picking patterns change, the vocals begin to lose their pitch, and the double-bass drum steadily becomes more important. Certain records appear and you realize, “wait, this isn’t really thrash anymore is it?” Buckle up and ride with us through The Nine Circles ov…80s Death Metal. Continue reading →

CANTO: Wormrot, Monolord, Ghost, Heavy Scotland

I have so much delicious music to listen to this coming month. So exciting.

Starting off with some news about a real shit break for Wormrot. They were U.S. bound for a run of shows that included MDF. They made it… but none of their clothes or equipment did. It sounds like things might be turning around, but this is still a total pain in the ass. And it’s not the first stroke of misfortune they’ve dealt with. All the best for these dudes.
Monolord have announced a shiny new North America tour this coming August and September. It follows Psycho Las Vegas and includes a couple dates with Red Fang. So that’s really cool.
The Heavy Scotland lineup is complete. Notables include Children of Bodom, Carcass, and Ensiferum. I would like to go to this someday.
Have we shared that new Ghost song, “Dance Macabre” yet? No? ok.

10/3/2017. It’s October now. I skipped Monday because I forgot.

Aura Noir will be touring North America later this month with their classic lineup for the first time ever. There’s only a handful of dates, but this is a good one to catch if you can.
Watain have announced a 7-inch Nuclear Alchemy will drop on October 31st. This single should give us a taste of what their upcoming full-length, due out in January, will be all about.
Septicflesh have announced a co-headlining North America tour with Dark Funeral. Support will come in the form of Thy Antichrist. Count me in.
Tom Petty has passed away at 66. It’s been a sad week. Goodbye to a legend. RIP.
Turning things just around a bit, how about the Decibel Metal & Beer Fest 2018 news? Carcass, At The Gates, Mayhem, and a boatload of amazing beer. Sounds like heaven. Hell?

No video today, sorry.

“I can’t feel my bones, the blood has all dried up. I am caught in-between. I can’t feel my bones, the blood has all dried up. I’m not even dead.”

Lots to cover today. Let’s start with a tour. Carcass has announced a run of shows with Deafheaven and Inter Arma. They will cover a decent portion of the U.S. this coming November.
Lots of Metallica stuff to catch up on from last week (I was lazy). They released a new song called “Hardwired” and announced a new double album, Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, which will be out on November 18th.
More tour stuff because why not? The Dillinger Escape Plan has dropped some heavy news on us recently, because quitting and stuff. But before any of that happens, they will be touring October and November in the United States. Last chance to dance? Looks that way.
Sad news out of Architects from this weekend. Guitarist Tom Searle passed at the age of 28 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.
Devin Townsend released another new song. This one is called “Secret Sciences.” Let’s listen to it.
