It’s been forever since I did one of these because I was in the wilderness for a week. But I’m back now. Chris will be so happy.

Light The Torch have announced a summer and fall tour covering most of the United States. Just mentioning in case anyone’s interested. Some dates are with Gwar, others with Trivium. Good stuff.
Decibel have announced the first wave of bands for the inaugural Metal & Beer Fest: Los Angeles. Triptykon (playing a Celtic Frost set) and Testament (playing a lot of other stuff). Man, I really want to attend this.
Remember that time Slayer was gonna be done doing things? Well, they’re doing at least one more thing in 2019. Hellfest Open Air! Which will probably maybe possibly be their last live thing ever.
Emma Ruth Rundle stuff! First, a massive tour from early July through the end of the year. Second, a new album, On Dark Horses, will be out September 14th on Sargent House. Rejoice! Check out a new single, “Fever Dream”, right now.

cattle decapitation band

10/19/2017. Last one of these for the week. From me, at least.

The Obsessed have shared a bonus track off of the upcoming reissue of their self-titled full-length. It’s called “Mental Kingdom”. They are also on tour, so go see them do their thing in person.
Cattle Decapitation have launched a documentary of their European tour online. That could be kinda fun to check out. Because Europe. And because decapitated cows.
Gwar have premiered a new video for “I’ll Be Your Monster”. I haven’t watched it yet, but the title makes me think of Lordi. Weird?
Here’s a pretty intense video from Deafkids for a song called “Propagação”.

I’ve watched it a few times now. Still intense.

The second installment, Evocation II: Pantheon, drops August 18 on Nuclear Blast, about six years after everyone stopped caring.

Good morning, it’s time to metal. Here’s some news you might have missed from yesterday:

- Leading off, GWAR has announced its first studio album since the tragic passing of frontman Dave Brockie. The album will be called The Blood of Gods, and will drop this fall on Metal Blade. Here’s hoping for a positive turnout on this one.

Good morning, it’s time to metal. Here’s some news you might have missed from yesterday:

Leading off, ’tis the season for Maryland Deathfest cancellations! Word on the Twitter is that Batushka has had to cancel their appearance at this year’s edition of the festival. Not seeing an official statement from either party yet, but…FUUUUUUUUUUCK if true.
