More cancellations coming your way today (to no surprise I’m sure). I’ll make sure to include some fun stuff to balance things out.

Alice Cooper is going to postpone his Spring tour, with dates hopefully moved to the Fall. Meanwhile, Devastation on the Nation (Borknagar, Rotting Christ, etc) is being moved to early 2021, and Killswitch Engage is also postponing their tour with August Burns Red and Light The Torch until a later date.
Onto the lighter stuff. Khemmis have revealed details behind their next release. It will be a live mini called Doomed Heavy Metal and it drops on April 17th through Nuclear Blast. Check out this video for their cover of Dio’s “Rainbow in the Dark.”
Also emerging from Nuclear Blast is an update from Paradise Lost, who have a new album dropping on May 15th. The album will be titled Obsidian and you can get a very brief taste of what’s to come right here.
Finally, in celebration of the release of Chants From Another Place, here is the animated music video from Jonathan Hultén for “Where Devils Weep”.

CANTO: Godsmack, Excalibur, Dio, and GosT

How long has it been, a week? Well, that’s about how long it has been since I’ve been home. Deal with it.

Godsmack are officially back on the road, and have announced additional dates today as well. But the real update here is the launch of Sully’s ‘Scars’ Foundation, which will raise awareness and funding for mental health.
This one is for Dan and anybody else obsessed with GosT. Here is a new single called “The Call of the Faithful”, which is taken from Skull 2019. As a reminder, that will be out on Century Media on May 3rd.
If you’re one of those people that’s interested in seeing that weird, and controversial, Dio hologram in person, this may be for you. The Dio Returns Tour 2019 will hit the U.S. with Tim “Ripper” Owens and Oni Logan as guest vocalists. I will not be there.
The music video update at the top of my email list (literally, not figuratively) comes by way of Spain’s Excalibur. If you want some heavy metal in your life, check out this clip for “Las Hordas del Rock”.

CANTO: Flotsam and Jetsam, Triptykon/Roadburn, and More

I hope you assholes voted today.

Does anybody support that Dio hologram thing? I personally do not. But it sure seems like it’s going to be around for awhile.
In case you weren’t aware, some Mercyful Fate re-issues are set to drop over at Metal Blade. The pressings for 9, Dead Again, and Into The Unknown will be available December 14th. They’re picture discs, which is always a good time.
So this is by a distance the most intriguing news of the day. Triptykon and Roadburn are collaborating on the completion of Celtic Frost’s previously unfinished Requiem in time to be performed at 2019’s festival.
Flotsam and Jetsam have released a new video (their first) for “Recover”. This track is taken from the upcoming January 18th release, The End of Chaos. Take a peak.

Fifteen days into 2018 and I’m already blown away by metal’s new releases and equally blown away by what’s to come. It was a busy weekend that was surrounded by a handful of these albums and by last night it hit me that I hadn’t listened to the same album twice (well, I did listen to that Pillärs album more than once). Yea, 2018 looks to rule, hard. Anyway, I need a weekend to rest from my weekend but bills and food and stuff, tough luck and back to work. Moving on, we’ve got another tasty playlist for you that should help wipe the cobwebs away so hit the play button below and don’t forget to keep up with us on YouTube right here. Continue reading →

Good morning, it’s time to metal. Here’s some news you might have missed from the last couple of days:

Leading off, Suffocation revealed the artwork for their new album, …Of the Dark Light, and let’s just say, it’s pretty dope. The album drops June 9 via Nuclear Blast.
