CANTO: Machine Head, Saor, Manticore, and More

I almost forgot it’s Saor release week! That’s a very good thing!

Speaking of which, Origins was premiered in full today. I had a break in between meetings and was able to check it out. It’s awesome. Can’t wait to get my hands on the vinyl.
Looks like we’ve got new Devin Townsend coming! Lightwork will be out through Inside Out Music on October 28th. Pre-order details coming soon, but for now you can check out this tour trailer which offers some sneak peaks.
Manticore have set July 15th as the international release date of Endless Scourge of Torment, which will be out through Hells Headbangers. Check out the recently released “Empty Eyes, Hollow Temples” here.
I Prevail have announced a massive two-leg tour with Pierce The Veil, Fit For A King, and others this coming September through November. Get the full scoop here.
To close out the day with anything other than the new Machine Head track wouldn’t be right, so the video for “Unhalløwed” is immediately below. As a reminder, Øf Kingdøm and Crøwn is out on August 26th via Nuclear Blast Records and Imperium Recordings.

“It’s not the way to cross the faith, the promise has been broken. My disease, everlasting. Let me bleed forever.”

We’ll start with a drum play-through from Necronomicon because those are always a good time. This one is for the track “From Ashes Into Flesh”, taken from last year’s Unus, out on Season of Mist.
I Prevail dropped a new video today for “DOA”, which features rapper Joyner Lucas. That one was taken from last year’s Trauma, which was released through Fearless.
Since news is fairly light today, I’m going to take this opportunity to share my favorite Instagram account ever this week. I give you… Albums of Bikini Bottom. My personal favorite is probably the one for Karmacode.
Ingested have released a lockdown video for “Dead Seraphic Forms”, which is a track taken from their upcoming new album, Where Only Gods May Tread, out August 14th through Unique Leader. Let’s watch this one together.

People are stupid.

Tribulation are releasing a live album and DVD called Alive & Dead At Södra Teatern. This, their first live album, will be out on November 15th via Metal Blade, and pre-orders begin September 27th.
More exciting news. Wilderun, a band I deeply adore, have announced that their third album is on the way. It will be called Veil of Imagination and it is scheduled for a November 1st release. Better yet, they have some regional live dates on the calendar immediately following the release. More info to come on this one.
In case you were wondering what Metallica sounds like when covered by Fister, check out their version of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” right here. It’s one of my favorite Metallica songs ever, so I’ll let you know what I think a little later. Or I won’t. TBD there. Anyway, Fister’s cover album, titled Decade of Depression, will be out on September 27th via Listenable Records.
I Prevail dropped a new music video for “Gasoline”. A reminder that Trauma is out now on Fearless Records.

Amazing! I have somehow emerged more tired from the weekend than when I entered it!

Neckbeard Deathcamp is hitting the road in May and June for “The Free Speech In America Tour” with Theories, Convictions, Wvrm, and Dryad on select dates.
Saw this coming. ICYMI last week, Chris Fehn brought some financial claims up against the rest of Slipknot. Today, it was announced that he is no longer a member of the band. Again, saw that coming.
Yesterday was St. Paddys’ Day. And what better way to celebrate the reinforcin’ o’ the stereotypes than with shed blood at a Dropkick Murphys’ show in Boston. It’s all just so… predictable.
We’ll close today with a new song and video from Detroit’s I Prevail. The title is “Paranoid”, and the track will be featured on their upcoming sophomore full length Trauma, which drops on March 29th through Fearless Records.
