Took a lot of cool photos yesterday after a storm… that’s all I got.

A few new music videos in the pile today, so let’s open with the new one from Carnifex for “Lie To My Face”. Another heads up, their 15th anniversary tour is this coming September and October, so be sure to make that happen.
Tobias Sammet’s Avantasia kicked off pre-orders for A Paranormal Evening with the Moonflower Society today, and dropped the video “The Moonflower Society” along with it.
Denver rock outfit Abrams are releasing their next album, In The Dark, on September 9th through Small Stone Recordings. “Like Hell” is streaming now over at New Noise Magazine.
Jumping over to Century Media, Orthodox shared a new clip for “Cave In”. (See, I told you there were a lot of videos today.) Anyway, that’s taken from Learning To Dissolve, which drops on August 19th.
I absolutely love Wayfarer and cannot wait to see them at Fire In The Mountains in a little over a week, so we’re going to wrap up the day with their new music video for “Fire & Gold”. That track, of course, is taken from A Romance With Violence, which is out through Profound Lore.

CANTO: Osi And The Jupiter, Deviant Process, Mamorlis, and More

I’ve done a really bad job at not drinking this year already.

Oak, the death and doom project out of Portugal, have signed on with Season of Mist. They’ll release their sophomore full-length album later this year. For an idea of what’s to come, give their debut album, Lone, a listen here.
One more from the Season of Mist camp today. Deviant Process shared a guitar play-through for “Emergence”. That track is taken from their new record, Nurture, which is available for purchase at this location.
Osi And The Jupiter is doing a small run of shows in the New England area, and I am super excited about it. They all fall next month, and you’ll be able to catch me at the Concord show on the 10th.
Lorna Shore are joining the Chaos & Carnage 2022 tour with the likes of Suicide Silence, Carnifex, and more. Those dates are in May and June, and tickets can be acquired here starting this coming Friday, the 14th.
We’ll wrap up Monday with the traditional heavy metal collective out of Portland, Mamorlis. Sturdy as an Oak is out independently on March 8th, and you can pre-order it on cassette here. Check out the first single from that, “Wolfric the Wild”, right below.

CANTO: Mutoid Man, Churchburn, Kowloon Walled City, and More

In terms of hours, I’ve already worked well over a full week. Who says 4 day/40 hour work weeks can’t be a thing?

Let’s start with Mutoid Man, who have announced a new bassist, as well as a performance at Psycho Las Vegas. The power trio will be rounded out by Jeff Matz (High On Fire), which is awesome. That Psycho Las Vegas set, by the way, takes place this coming Friday on the main stage.
I’m not sure if anyone has familiarized themselves with AEW’s Malakai Black, but you should. The artist formerly known as Aleister Black (with WWE) not only uses Amenra as his introductory song, but has now also teamed up with Carnifex for a merch collaboration. Check it out.
This dropped yesterday, but I only got around to it today. So… deal with it. Kowloon Walled City released a new track, “Oxygen Tent”, and it’s predictably awesome. I really, really hope there is more new material on the horizon as well. We shall see.
And we’re going to close with one of my personal favorites, Churchburn. Their new album, Genocidal Rite, drops on November 5th through Translation Loss Records, and today they released a new track and music video. Check out the clip for “Swallowed By Dust” below.

CANTO: Between The Buried And Me, Boris, Carnifex, and More

I’m happy it’s Friday, and I’m happy about all the metal news that emerged today.

And we’ll start with Boris, who unveiled a new video for a live performance of “Loveless”. That track is the lead single from No, which will see a vinyl release through Third Man Records on August 27th.
From there, we’ll check in with MØL. The blackgazers are returning with their second studio album, Diorama, which will be out through Nuclear Blast. Additional details are still to come for that release, but check out the video for new single “Photophobic” right now.
I haven’t heard from Bullet For My Valentine in quite some time, so I suppose we can see what their up to. Looks like a new self-titled album is set for an October 22nd release through Spinefarm Records. And today we get a new track from that album, titled “Parasite”. Check it out.
We’ve also got a new track and album announcement from Carnifex to add to the pile. Graveside Confessions will be out on September 3rd through Nuclear Blast. A video for the title track from that album just dropped today, and you can check it out right here.
The obvious way to close out the week is with the latest from Between The Buried And Me. This is the new video for “Revolution In Limbo”, another one taken from Colors II. As a reminder, that album drops on August 20th through Sumerian Records.

CANTO: At The Gates, Hellfest 2022, Silver Lake, and More

I skipped the last couple days because I have family in town. But I didn’t work today so I can’t really justify skipping this one. Oh well… happy Friday!

Lots of videos to share today, so we may as well get right to it. We’ll kick things off with At The Gates, who released the new single and video for “The Fall Into Time”. That’s the latest from The Nightmare Of Being, which is out on July 2nd through Century Media.
Silver Lake by Esa Holopainen was recently released through Nuclear Blast. I haven’t checked it out in full yet, but I am intrigued by the new video for “Sentiment”, a track which features Jonas Renkse on vocals. And we all know how much I love projects that involve the Katatonia vocalist…
So we’ll pause all the video announcements to include a note about Hellfest 2022, which is probably the most immense festival I could fathom. The festival will span a full week, from June 17th through the 26th, with over 350 bands performing across 6 stages. Headliners include… Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Faith No More… honestly the list goes on and on. And those are just the headliners. Get the full scoop here.
Hey look, Bullet for My Valentine is still a thing! They announced a new self-titled album, with a video for a new track titled “Knives”. That album will be out on October 22nd through Spinefarm Records, and can be pre-ordered here.
Time to wrap this up, because I have places to be. We’ll close with the new single and video from Carnifex for “Pray For Peace”, which you can watch below.
