Holy crap a lot of things happened today.

Like from Darkthrone, who released a new track titled “Hate Cloak”. That, of course, is taken from the highly anticipated new album, Eternal Hails……, which is out on June 25th through Peaceville. Is there really any reason to share any other news today? I’m debating…
FINE. Soulfly have announced a North American tour, spanning August and September. They’ll be joined by Niviane and Suicide Puppets. More info can be found here. I guess tickets are on sale now, I just couldn’t find a link. I also didn’t try to find a link.
Have we already mentioned this? I have no idea. May as well drop it in just in case. Swallow The Sun have announced their first live album, 20 Years Of Gloom, Beauty And Despair – Live in Helsinki, which is set for a July 30th release through Century Media.
And we’ll wrap up with the new video from Endseeker for “Escape From New York”, a cover of the John Carpenter track. Mount Carcass is out now through Metal Blade Records, if you haven’t checked it out yet.

Buke again assumes the captains chair and leads the chase with the usual suspects, and introduces newest member of the 9C gang Didrik to the insanity.

Death Metal Stew: Frozen Soul, Nervosa, and Asphyx

February 2, 2021February 1, 2021ChrisLeave a comment

I slept, and I dreamed.

I dreamed of ripping, gain to 11 HM2 riffs with an edge so brittle they would shatter. I dreamed of cavernous reverb, and of blistering tempos jackknifed into mid-paced stomps that locked into a pocket so deep I could feel the void. I dreamed of vocals both guttural and vicious, speaking to me in the tongues of ancient religions, intoning rites of passage into another world, another time.

I woke, and realized it was February and I had slept on killer old school death metal releases from Frozen Soul, Nervosa, and Apshyx. Rising from my decrepit tomb of a bed I exhaled a chilled breath and decided to rectify the situation.

Teloch Vovin are back we a revamped lineup, and have announced new music and a livestream event. That event is scheduled for December 12th (check out the preview), and you can hear some pre-production singles over on their Bandcamp page.
Sagenland have set the released date for their Heidens Hart debut, Oale groond. That will drop on January 15th, and a new track titled “‘t Leste gedicht (Twentse earde)” is available for your listening pleasure right now.
Lastly, we have Demon Head, who have also unveiled new album details, as well as a new video. Viscera is out on January 29th through Metal Blade, and the video for “The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony” is immediately below.

CANTO: System Of A Down, Blind Guardian, Schammasch, and More

What a strange week! It’s been entertaining, if nothing else.

So this was unexpected. System Of A Down have momentarily put aside any internal issues to release two new tracks: “Protect The Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz”. The new material is meant to raise awareness regarding the situation in Artsakh.
Blind Guardian, a name I don’t hear nearly enough, have released a live video for “Bright Eyes”. That clip is taken from the 25th anniversary of Imaginations From The Other Side, which drops on December 11th.
More videos to round out Friday. The next is from Asphyx, for “Botox Implosion”, taken from Necroceros. That album drops on January 22nd through Century Media.
Absolutely no idea how I missed this last week, but Schammasch released a new music video for “Ego Sum Omega”, taken from last year’s Hearts Of No Light. Let’s close with that.
