Today… was a long one. But the good news is that I’m about to lock in my first show of 2024.

We shared recently that Allegaeon are joining Decapitated, Septicflesh, and Kataklysm for a North American run in a few months, and today they shared a studio update with original vocalist Ezra Haynes. Busy start to the new year apparently.
Knocked Loose announced a headlining North American run with Show Me The Body, Loathe, and Speed. The party starts in late April and runs into early June. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday.
Doom practitioner Arð returns with the sophomore full-length Untouched by Fire, arriving on April 26 through Prophecy Productions. The first single was released as a lyric video, “Cursed to Nothing But Patience”.
Salt Lake City psych rock trio Iota are releasing Pentasomnia on March 22 through Small Stone Recordings. Preorders are up, and “The Returner” can be heard here.
Should we close with the latest transmission from Darkspace? Yes. Yes we should. “Dark -2.-2” is available below, the third offering from Dark Space -II. That one is officially out on February 16 through Season of Mist.

CANTO: Carnifex, Atoll, Cantique Lépreux, and More

I… am ready for a whisky.

Decapitated and Septicflesh announced a fairly extensive co-headlining run across North America in April and May. Kataklysm and Allegaeon will be joining them as well.
Extreme metal crew Atoll revealed a new single and visualizer, titled “Autonomic Autosarcophagy“. That one is taken from their forthcoming new album, Inhuman Implants, which is set for a February 23 release through Unique Leader.
Switching gears a bit, GosT unveiled a new track titled “Widow Song”. That’s the latest single from that project’s upcoming new album, Prophecy, which arrives a little later on March 8 through Metal Blade.
I’m feeling the need to wrap in some black metal tonight, so here’s some new stuff from Cantique Lépreux. “Consécration” is the first single pulled from Le bannissement, their third full-length album which drops on March 29 through Eisenwald.
Let’s close out with the new video from Carnifex. “Torn In Two” can be seen and heard below, a track from the album Necromanteum, which was released last October through Nuclear Blast. You can catch them on the road in a few months as well.

CANTO: Tombs, Fear Factory, Decapitated, and More

Can I also start this with a bier, bitte?

We’ll start the week with Tombs, who have released another new track. This one is called “Bone Furnace”, and you can check it out over at Decibel. A reminder that Under Sullen Skies drops on November 20th through Season of Mist.
Decapitated have signed back on with Nuclear Blast, and are hinting that new material might be coming our way sooner rather than later. Moving on.
Burton C. Bell has quit Fear Factory, and it did not seem to be on good terms (which is probably a shock to very few). We’ll see how Dino and crew eventually respond.
Yo, check out this cover of Alice In Chains’ “Rain When I Die”, brought to you by Mastodon, Russian Circles, Mutoid Man, and more. It’s super fun and super good.

Good morning, it’s time to metal. Here’s some news you might have missed from yesterday:

- Leading off, longtime Amorphis bassist Niclas Etelävuori has left the band, citing not issues with his bandmates, but rather, issues with alleged mismanagement. The band has recruited original bassist Olli-Pekka Laine to fill in for their upcoming summer festival commitments.
