CANTO: DevilDriver, Black Lava, Rotten Sound, and More

Alright. It’s March. When can I start going outside comfortably? Please?

John Cxnnor x The Devil’s Trade are releasing Live at Roadburn 2022 on April 21 through Season of Mist (digital) and Pelagic Records (physical). Today they revealed a track from that collection, “The Call of the Doom Mons”, which you can check out here.
Blackened death metal crew Black Lava shared a new live video for “Baptized In Ice”. That track is taken from their debut album, Soul Furnace, which dropped late last year through Season of Mist.
Falling In Reverse announced a headlining United States tour in June, featuring the likes of Ice Nine Kills, Underoath, Spiritbox, and more. Tickets go on sale to the general public this coming Friday here.
Ok, just one more from Season of Mist. Finnish grindcore collective Rotten Sound revealed a new song and music video, titled “Renewables.” Their eight studio album, Apocalypse, is slated for a March 31 release.
DevilDriver dropped a new video today, for “Through The Depths”, which you can view below. Not gonna lie, it hits pretty hard. I dig it. Dealing With Demons Vol. II is out May 12 through Napalm Records.

And tomorrow I’m back on the highway. As the great Limp Bizkit would say, “keep rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’…” And that’s enough of that.

DevilDriver are releasing a massive box set through BMG titled Clouds Over California. It will feature vinyl or CD offerings for their debut self-titled album, The Fury Of Our Maker’s Hand, The Last Kind Words, Pray For Villains, and Beast.
Significant news emerging from Wailin Storms today. To start, the new full length, The Silver Snake Unfolds, will be out on July 22nd through Gilead Media. Check out “Broken Into Three” over at Brooklyn Vegan. Better yet, they also announced some tour dates in July and August. Get the full scoop here.
White Ward unveiled False Light in full, ahead of its June 17th release through Debemur Morti Productions. Give it a listen here.
Progressive rock crew Crippled Black Phoenix announced a new album. Banefyre will drop on September 9th through Season of Mist, the first single, “Blackout77”, is available for streaming now.
Wrapping up our day, we have the new video from Living Wreckage for “Endless War”. That’s the title track from their debut full length, set for a September 23rd release through M-Theory Audio. There are some familiar names in this project, so it’s definitely worth checking out.

“Celestial buried mind resting, resting without peace still.”

Just a heads up that the live performance of Leaves of Yesteryear from Green Carnation takes place tomorrow afternoon. It’s free! But you can also opt for a very affordable ticket, giving you more access to the stream.
DevilDriver have announced a new double album, Dealing With Demons, and the first volume will be out on October 9th on Napalm Records. You can check out a new track called “Keep Away From Me” now, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Jaye Jayle is back with a new album out on August 7th through Sargent House called Prisyn. Check out the first track and video from that album now, called “Guntime”.
I was this many days old when Enslaved blew my mind for like the 1,000th time. Check out their new video for “Homebound” below. We are only a few months from the release of Utgard, which will be available through Nuclear Blast.

I’m running my fifth marathon on Sunday. Yay?

Big news from Metallica, regarding 2020 plans at least. They will be headlining five U.S. festivals next summer, and are planning on performing two nights at each of them. Holy moly. Those festivals are: Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival, Louder Than Life, Aftershock, Epicenter, and Welcome to Rockville.
So this is hilarious. Cattle Decapitation had their artwork for Death Atlas (out 11/29) ripped off by rapper Teddy.YG. Like, bad. As in, Mr. YG didn’t even remove the Cattle Decap logo or album title or anything… just… layered his name over it. In a fun turn of events, Cattle Decapitation then decided to sell a shirt with the image and Instagram exchange on it. Honestly, this is must-have.
In some serious bummer news, DevilDriver had to pull out of their upcoming Megacruise performance because Dez Fafara’s wife has been diagnosed with cancer. He’s taking the time to be with her, very much understandably. Positive vibes their way.
And closing with a bit of a lighter note, The Amity Affliction have released a live video for the new single “All My Friends Are Dead”. They are currently touring with Sum 41.

Triumvir Foul

I enjoy long weekends.

Static-X have announced they will be heading out on their Wisconsin Death Trip 20th Anniversary tour this summer. It will serve as a tribute to Wayne Static and will be co-headlined by Devildriver.
Meshuggah have announced U.S. headlining dates with The Black Dahlia Murder. There are only a handful of dates this coming May, so jump on that shit.
My favorite news from recent days. Triumvir Foul have set a release date for Urine of Abomination. It will be out on March 29th. Give “Urine of Abomination I” a listen right now!
Superdeathflame! …has dropped a new music video for “Falling In Shades”. Watch it. Finnish melodic death metal is always a good time.
