I want a new camera. Just because.

Meanwhile, down in Mexico City, Domination Festival 2019 looks like it’s going to be a big one. A solid lineup that includes Bloodbath, Meshuggah, Satyricon, and many others.
A couple big announcements from Wolves in the Throne Room recently. If the headlining of Fire In The Mountains wasn’t enough, they’re also in the studio working on a new album! Yay.
How about another festival lineup? Rocklahoma! Featuring Ozzy, Disturbed, Steel Panther and others obviously.
No brainer on the video today. Anomalie dropped a new one for “Vision IV: Illumination”. It’s a live clip from a performance at Dark Easter Metal Meeting 2018. Check it.

Tuesday has no feel.

News from Khôrada! The ex-Agalloch/Giant Squid group will release their debut album, Salt, on July 20th through Prophecy Production. The better news? You can hear a new song called “Ossify” right now!
Death Valley High have announced a tour with Combichrist which runs through most of May and June. All U.S. dates so it’s sure to come through your area. Here’s a video for “Play Dead” as well.
Here is something I can almost guarantee we won’t cover: Disturbed’s new album, which they have finished recording.
And here’s something I can almost guarantee we will cover: Gaerea’s new album, called Unsettling Whispers. Check out this killer new track called “Catharsis”.

CANTO: A curious cover of “Raining Blood”, and a mesmerizing video for Cult of Luna/Julie Christmas’ “Chevron”

“Reason as name, reason as light. Descending to the sink of iniquity. To bond the bright flame of old mother night. Extending his reign, defining ubiquity.”

The Depression Sessions, a three-way split with The Acacia Strain, Thy Art Is Murder, and Fit For An Autospy, will be out on August 12th through Nuclear Blast. Includes some covers and stuff.
Looks like Chevelle and Disturbed are planning a fall tour together. Which makes sense, because they’ll be playing similar festivals all summer and whatnot.
I missed this a couple of days ago, but Body Count covered Slayer‘s “Raining Blood” in the studio. From what I hear, it definitely didn’t suck.
You know it’s a slow day when Mike Portnoy shows up. The Dream Theater drummer will be playing “12-Step Suite” for the first time live at his 50th birthday celebration. I hope there’s cake.
Since this split came up today, why not share a video. Cult of Luna and Julie Christmas released a video for “Chevron”. Check it out. It’s trippy.

CANTO: Chicago Open Air gets aggressive, a tasty new Slipknot tour, and more

“You know the doors that spell disaster, I unlock. You feel my presence, now your stomach is a knot. Open minds can be leveled up by me. The devil’s blood holds one eighth of an ounce. And the saying goes for each seal you close, another path is lit. Relax it’s just a hit.”

Slipknot is hitting the road with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice And Men. Dates and venues still to be determined, cities confirmed. (I couldn’t dodge this news if I wanted to, but Sarah tipped me off first, so the credit goes that way.)
Dayton rock band CounterFlux lost three members in an accident involving a drunk driver. Drinking and driving is not something to fuck with and the fact that this happened, when the band was in no way at fault, is absolutely heartbreaking.
We already knew about Rammstein, but Chicago Open Air has added several additional bands that include the likes of Disturbed, Slipknot, and Carcass.
Ghost will never fail at giving interviews. Check them out at The Grammys last night. You won’t regret it. Oh, they also won a Grammy. So good for them.
The Black Dahlia Murder has a new music video for “Threat Level No. 3”. It reminds me of Metalocalypse, so I don’t hate it.

For the first time ever, I voted in the New Hampshire Primary for somebody that isn’t Vermin Supreme. Aren’t you proud of me?

Another day, another tour announcement. Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin have announced a co-headlining tour that kicks off, well, tomorrow and runs basically through the summer. Another assist to Sarah for this one.
God DAMMIT another tour. Lamb of God with Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity. Late April through early June. Lots of potential with this one.
Migration Fest had been holding out on their main headliner for a couple weeks now. Today we got what we wanted. It came as no surprise, but it is no less exciting, that the headlining act is Panopticon.
You know? Let’s get weird. More festival news! Rammstein have announced that they will be headlining Chicago Open Air Festival. I’m just happy to see that my favorite industrial act is getting around again.
Video options are rather slim today, so here’s some cool footage from Hellfest 2015 courtesy of Metal Blade TV:
