Wilderun - Veil of Imagination

Better day today. Because soccer is still on after I got home.

Let’s begin with the unveiling of the third single from Wilderun’s upcoming new album, Veil of Imagination. The song is called “O Resolution!” and you can follow this link to Consequence of Sound to check it out. Full reminder, that album drops on Friday (11/1).
In follow up to the news from Dave Mustaine yesterday, it was also announced that he is going to be selling a ton of gear. If you’re a Megadeth fan, and want to add an absolutely killer piece of gear to your collection, this might be your chance.
A couple things out of the Nuclear Blast camp. The first comes by way of Obscura, who have signed on with the label and have announced a 2020 headlining tour in Europe with support from God Dethroned, Thulcandra, and Fractal Universe.
Children of Bodom dropped a new animated music video for “Hexed”, the title-track from their most recent album, out now via Nuclear Blast. Check out the video below.

alcest spiritual instinct

I got home from Detroit at 1:00 AM this morning… and turned around and left for Boston at 4:30 also this morning. Tired! Sad!

Let’s start with the obvious stuff. The Metal Blade version of Batushka (see also: “Faketushka” or “Bartushka”) has canceled seemingly all international tour plans. The reason stated is the ongoing litigation regarding the band name, but the reason not stated is probably ticket sales and fans not falling for any of the drama. I was actually planning on shooting this show. Oh well.
How about some good news? (I say that and am very much aware many consider the above also good news.) Dave Mustaine appears to have completed his throat cancer treatments. There is still very much a recovery process, but it seems like the outlook for both Dave, and Megadeth, are positive, and we can hope for a new album sometime next year.
Updates from Moloken are things I like. The Swedes are taking their unique blend of black/doom/death metals to The Sign Records roster, and are preparing for a new album release on January 31st called Unveilance of Dark Matter.
Alcest released Spiritual Instinct last Friday, and having listened to it a few times to this point, I can say with confidence that it’s a great album. If you want to learn a little bit more about the lyrical themes and artistic direction, check out this trailer they dropped today.

InFlames.3.3.19.127

And today was the most Monday-ist Tuesday ever.

In Flames have announced a North American tour this November and December. Headlining this time around, support will comes from Arrival of Autumn and Red. Could be a fun one. I may dabble.
An update from Dave Mustaine, who was diagnosed with throat cancer earlier in the year. It seems like he’s making strong progress in his recovery, which is great to hear. Megacruise is just around the corner, for those taking part. Best wishes continued for the dude.
In lead up to their new album, Rise of the Reaper, Entrails offered us a new single today called “The Pyre”. It’s quite good. The album itself drops on October 11th, so not too much longer to wait now.
This is from yesterday, but whatever. Devin Townsend’s animated music video for “Why?”. Empath dropped back on March 29th. Hopefully you have all checked it out at this point.

drabmajesty.7.25.18.106

I’m bored.

Devourment are set to release their fifth full-length album, titled Obscene Majesty, on August 16th via Relapse Records. A new track from this album is available for your streaming pleasure now, and it is called “Cognitive Sedation Butchery”.
Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles dropped some names that will be performing this December. Included: Possessed, Nails, Schammasch, Evoken, Spirit Adrift… God DAMMIT I want to go so badly.
And on a more somber note, Dave Mustaine announced that he is currently undergoing treatment for throat cancer. News you never, ever want to hear. It sounds like his doctors have a plan, so fingers crossed he can fight through this.
I do like it when Drab Majesty drops a new song and video. This one is for “Oxytocin”. A reminder that Modern Mirror will be out on July 12th.

full of hell

My promo for the new Dead To A Dying World just hit, so I bet you can guess what I’ll be doing the rest of the night! …Listening to Litany over and over again…

Wayfarer have announced a small handful of shows surrounding their performance at Northwest Terrorfest. They’ll be joined by Inter Arma and Thanifaxath, so if you’re out west… you really don’t want to miss this.
Aaaaanother tour. Wristmeetrazor with SeeYouSpaceCowboy (I’m noticing a trend…) throughout the month of may. Wristmeetrazor has a handful of April dates as well with Safe and Sound. Just FYI there.
In case anybody out there needed a Megadeth update, Dave Mustaine claims to be finished with eight out of what will be 12 or 13 songs for a new record… again, just FYI.
Tonight’s video comes from Full of Hell, and it’s coupled with new album news. So all kinds of good things, basically. Weeping Choir (awesome album name) drops on May 17th, and the track we’ve been treated to today is called “Burning Myrrh”.
