CANTO: Suicide Silence, Wayfarer, Death Bells, and More

I am legitimately proud of how much I crammed into this past weekend.

  • We’ll lead off with Suicide Silence, who have announced their return to Century Media Records. They released their first three full-length albums through the label, and it sound like new music is heading our way soon.
  • Hell yeah! An April Wayfarer tour! …That comes nowhere near me. Damnit. Well, if you happen to be on the western side of the United States in a couple months, much sure you carve out time for one of these shows. I’ll be jealous.
  • Death Bells released a new track today called “Passerby”. That release comes right before a handful of live dates, including time at Homesick Fest in California, which you can see here.
  • Looks like Dino Cazares will be joining Soulfly on their upcoming U.S. tour with Short Fuse and 200 Stab Wounds. Check out all the dates, and purchase tickets, here.
  • Yeah, I guess we can close with something symphonic. Check out the new animated video from Belle Morte for “Who are you”. Their debut full-length, Crime of Passion, is out through Wormholedeath.

CANTO: Wolves in the Throne Room, Gama Bomb, Fit For An Autopsy, and More

Last Canto of the week. Tomorrow will find me lakeside with a bunch of idiots I call my friends.

  • Fit For An Autopsy have announced a winter 2022 headlining tour, with support from Enterprise Earth, Ingested, Signs of the Swarm, and Great American Ghost. Those dates kick off January 5th and run through February 12th. Tickets are available here.
  • Watain, a band I don’t really care about but a lot of other people do, have signed on with Nuclear Blast. As of now, they’ve begun the recording process for a new album, which we can expect sometime in early 2022.
  • Soulfly has announced that Fear Factory’s Dino Cazares will be joining them on stage for their upcoming U.S. tour. Tickets for that tour are on sale now here.
  • Marc Rizzo has been busy, and revealed a new project today titled Hail The Horns. Get a sample of what’s to come with this lyric video for “God Of Thunder”, a cover of the Kiss classic. But wait, there’s more! Rizzo also has a new solo ‘best of’ album dropping on September 10th, titled Living Shred Vol. 1. That will be out through Godsize Records.
  • Irish thrash collective Gama Bomb have returned with a new single, “Thunder Over London”. That clip is the title-track from their surprise three-song digital EP, which is set for a release tomorrow (August 6th). That is out through Prosthetic Records.
  • I’m getting more and more excited about Primordial Arcana, the latest album from Wolves in the Throne Room. So we’re going to wrap up today with the new video for “Primal Chasm (Gift of Fire). That album drops on August 20th through Relapse Records.

Behemoth

May 9, 2017

Good morning. It’s been a minute. But now that school and final exams are done for the semester, it’s time, once again, to metal. Here’s some news you might have missed from yesterday:

    • Leading off with something I know will make our Literati Overlord happy, Behemoth frontman Nergal revealed that the band has started writing the follow-up to 2014’s The Satanist. Unfortunately, we’ll likely have to wait ’til late 2018 to hear it.

And with their latest effort, Genexus, the band’s produced an album that will grab the attention of new followers while still doing the traditionalists proud.

Quickies! It’s Friday and I am more than spent for this week, so let’s not waste any more time than we need to–here’s what we missed in the metal world today:

“Smash A Single Digit” is off the band’s new album, Apex Predator: Easy Meat. Which drops next week. We’re just a tad excited about that. Anyway, until then…

Keep it heavy,
