Is this still fun? Honestly some days it’s hard to tell.

This is the right throwback I need tonight. God Forbid are reissuing Gone Forever on a limited-edition splatter vinyl. It’ll be issued through M-Theory Audio, and available on June 10th. They’ve also announced a reunion performance during the Blue Ridge Rock Festival, which is awesome.
Death Bells have announced a new album, Between Here & Everywhere, which will be out on July 29th through Dais Records. Check out the video for the new single, “Lifespring”, now.
I haven’t seen any of the trailers for The Northman yet, but I might check out the latest one, which features music from Heilung. Specifically, “Hakkerskaldyr”. Give it a watch here. Fun fact, the name behind this film, Robert Eggers, is a Portsmouth man! So we’re basically best friends.
Moloken is a thing that I dig, so we’ll close with their new video for “Hollow Caress”. That’s a track taken from their fourth album, Unveilance of Dark Matter, which was released through The Sign back in 2020.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”

The sun is out and I feel like nobody is getting any work done. Nice.

We’ll start with God Forbid, who are reissuing Determination in celebration of it’s 20th anniversary. The limited vinyl edition will be released on Record Store Day 2021, which happens to be July 17th, if you weren’t previously aware. Additional information can be found here.
War Curse have released a new digital single today, a cover of the Anthrax classic “Only”. You can stream that over on YouTube. It looks like War Curse has a full-length album planned for later this year as well, so we’ll keep an eye out for that in the days ahead.
Terra Odium, a progressive metal project featuring bassist Steve Di Giorgio, has announced their debut album is set for a release on June 11th. It will be titled Ne Plus Ultra and will be released through Frontiers Music srl. Check out the first single, “The Clouded Morning”, right now.
The video of the day (VotD? Sure.) comes by way of Polaris, for “Vagabond”. That particular track is taken from the album The Death Of Me, which is out now through Resist and SharpTone Records.
