Two more cantos until Ireland (counting this one)!

  • Lamb of God announced some headlining dates in August (and one in September) that are going to be absolutely wild. The lineup is stacked, featuring Ice Nine Kills, The Black Dahlia Murder, Suicide Silence, and more, and tickets can be found through Live Nation starting Friday.
  • Boris and Uniform are releasing a collaborative album on June 16 through Sacred Bones Records, titled Bright New Disease. “You Are The Beginning” is the first sample taken from that effort, and you can give it a listen here.
  • Next up, out of Season of Mist we have new stuff from Erdve. The experimental sludge outfit dropped a new single and video, titled “Neigti”, material that follows 2021’s Savigalia.
  • And we’ll close with the latest from Oceanlord. The music video for “Kingdom” can be found below, the final single taken from Kingdom Cold. That album is slated for a May 26 release through Magnetic Eye Records. Four is enough for today – I’ve got stuff to do. Bye!

I’ve been in Pennsylvania for four days now, and I can confirm that it is a place that exists… and we’re moving on…

  • Kicking off a new week, we have a new music video from Caliban. The visualizer for “Darkness I Became” is available here, a track taken from Dystopia. That album is available now through Century Media.
  • UK death and doom outfit Enchantment are releasing their new album, Cold Soul Embrace, on June 24th through Transcending Records and Cosmic Key Creations. For a glimpse of what’s to come, a clip for “Of Glorious Vistas Forgot” is sitting out there.
  • Knotfest Roadshow has announced September and October dates with the likes of Ice Nine Kills and Crown The Empire. Tickets will be available at this location, with presales kicking off tomorrow and general this coming Friday.
  • From there, we have some new black metal. White Rune are releasing Dawn of the White Rune on August 19th through Hammer of Hate. Check out the new track, “Crimson Lament”, right now.
  • Lastly, the top item of the day (in my book), is the news out of the In Flames camp. They’ve signed a fresh deal with Nuclear Blast, but more importantly they also release a new single titled “State of Slow Decay”. And I gotta tell ya, I’m really into it. Give it a watch and listen below.

Days off no longer exist. Apparently. Late-stage capitalism sure is fun.

  • Anomalie, one my favorite black metal projects, has set November 5th as the release date for Tranceformation. Their fourth studio album will be out through AOP Records, and you can stream the first new track from that effort, “Trance II: Relics”, right here.
  • Deathsomnia released You Will Never Find Peace last Friday through Isolation Records, and today they gave us a new video for “Void Oblivion”. That track features Gabriel Franco of Unto Others (formerly Idle Hands), which is an added bonus.
  • And then we’ve got new material from Emma Ruth Rundle, another one of my personal favorites. Engine of Hell is also set for a November 5th release through Sargent House, and a clip for “Return” is available right here.
  • Oh shit! I almost forgot about this from yesterday. Kowloon Walled City officially have a new album on the horizon. Piecework will be out on October 8th through Gilead Media and Neurot Recordings.
  • Zombies are fun, so let’s close with the new clip from Ice Nine Kills for “Rainy Day”. That’s taken from their upcoming new album, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood, which is out on October 15th through Fearless Records.

I went to the gym today. That was, clearly, a mistake.

  • Ice Nine Kills, a thing I normally don’t pay much attention to, deserve some props here. To help raise funds for wildfire relief in Australia, they’ve released a new, special edition shirt. 100% of profits will be donated. That’s a good number.
  • For those considering (or already looking forward to) the upcoming Fleshgod Apocalypse North American tour featuring a full string string quartet, here’s a special message from the band.
  • Mondo Generator are streaming a new track called “Turboner” (nice) over at Sound Sphere. Their next album, which will be titled Fuck It, drops on February 21st via Heavy Psych Sounds.
  • Here’s a new video from Swiss metalcore group Divergency. This one is for a track called “Slay Your Fear”, which was taken from the recently released album Cassandre.
