Today was weird. But it’s also Friday. So I guess everything is fine!

So I haven’t listened to this yet, but since it’s an Ihsahn remix, I can only assume it’s significantly better. Here is a fresh version of “Shadowminds” from The Halo Effect.
Dream Unending are releasing Song of Salvation on November 11th through 20 Buck Spin, and today they issued an audio sampler for the album. Give that a listen here.
German black metal duo Mystic Circle released a video for a cover of Possessed’s “Death Metal”. That was a bonus track from their self-titled album, which dropped in early 2022 through Atomic Fire. I never actually listened to that one. Maybe I should…
Sunn O))) have announced tour dates in December and January (mostly), with Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley performing as Shoshin (初心) Duo in its original form. Tickets are on sale now, and this should be absolutely wild.
Omens, the latest album from the legendary Lamb of God, is officially out today. To mark the occasion, check out the new clip for “Ditch” below. As a reminder, that album is out through Epic Records.

And now, officially, the two week countdown is on. Whatever happens after the next three weeks? I really don’t care.

Psychonaut unveiled a new track today titled “Violate Consensus Reality”. The track features Colin H. Van Eeckhout of Amenra and Stefanie Mannaerts from Brutus. So, yeah, needless to say it is very much worth a few minutes of your time. Anyway, that’s the title-track from their new album that drops on October 28th through Pelagic Records.
Danish atmospheric black metal crew Orm are releasing Intet • Altet on September 30th through Indisciplinarian. Today they shared the third excerpt from that double album, titled “Trance/Floden, som kan lede”.
Aðalbjörn “Addi” Tryggvason of Sólstafir has teamed up with Ragnar Zolberg of Sign for the creation of Isafjørd. The debut album from the new post-rock project, titled Hjartastjak, will be out on December 2nd it appears. Here’s the first single, “Falin Skemmd”.
What do we think of “Grayscale”, the latest from Lamb of God? Personally, I like it. But that probably comes as no surprise. Omens is out on October 7th through Epic Records.

Still shaking out the FITM cobwebs. In a good way. I wish I could say it’s nice to be home and back at work but… I’m not so sure it is.

Leading, we have news surrounding the first U.S. Accept tour in a decade. The dates run from September 29 through October 29, and include some meet and greet packages. Get the full scoop right here.
In other North American tour news, we have Wormhole, who will be joining the Shadow Of Intent headlining tour this coming October with the likes of Enterprise Earth and Inferi. All the dates can be found here.
Lybica, the new project featuring Killswitch Engage drummer Justin Foley on guitar, have revealed details surrounding the self-titled debut album. The release date is set for September 16, and it will be available through Metal Blade. Check out the video for “Manifest” right now.
This performance video for “Hyperventilating” from Voyager is also worth checking out. They’ll be releasing the full virtual performance, A Voyage Through Time, on August 26 through Season of Mist.
Lamb of God unveiled a video for “Omens” today, the title-track from their upcoming new album. Check it out below. That record drops on October 7 through Epic Records, and can be pre-ordered here.

Alright, so, I’m drafting this post super early in the morning because I need to be on the road soon. Needless to say, this will include some old stuff from yesterday, and I’ll miss plenty of news that emerged today. Deal with it.

Leading off, we have the new single from Northless premiering over at Lambgoat, titled “Of Shadow and Sanguine”. That track features Ethan McCarthy of Primitive Man, and is taken from A Path Beyond Grief. That album drops on July 22nd through Translation Loss.
From there, it’s probably wise to check out the new Lamb of God track we referenced earlier in the week. Here’s the music video for “Nevermore”. As mentioned, Omens will be out on October 7th through Epic Records.
Kreator also brought us some new stuff today. Check out the music video for “Become Immortal” right here. Hate Über Alles is out now on Nuclear Blast.
And then from there, we have Imperial Triumphant. They shared a new track, titled “Merkurius Gilded”, from Spirit of Ecstasy. As a reminder, that one is out on July 22nd through Century Media.
Closing out the week, we should all be excited about new stuff from KEN mode. Null will be out on September 23rd through Artoffact Records, and “A Love Letter” is streaming now… directly below as always. Enjoy.

CANTO: Lamb of God, Boris, Hexed, and More

A few days of calm, before I’m back on the road this coming Thursday.

By far the biggest news of the day emerged from the Lamb of God camp. First off, their next album, Omens, is set to arrive on October 7th through Epic Records. Keep an eye out for “Nevermore” this coming Friday. And then from there, they also announced a massive headlining tour in September and October with the likes of Killswitch Engage, Baroness, Fit For An Autopsy and more (depending on the date).
Not really sure where to go from there to be honest. Oh, new stuff from Boris! “Question 1” has been unveiled, a track that will appear on Heavy Rocks. That album is set for an August 12th release through Relapse.
From there, we also have new material from Hexed. The first single from Pagans Rising, titled “Repentance”, is available for your listening pleasure now. That album is set for a release later this year through ViciSolum Productions. That date is still TBD as far as I am aware.
And we’ll close out our Monday with some doom. This is Monasterium, with their new track titled “Cimmeria”. Cold Are The Graves is out this coming Friday through Nine Records.
