Welcome to another exciting edition of our weekly mixtape series. On deck for today: the new single from Thou and Emma Ruth Rundle’s collaborative album, one of my favorite Lantlôs songs, and some new Deftones for good measure. All this and more at the link below.
This came through on Friday and I totally missed it, but I’m sharing it now because I’m curious what people think. Ihsahn covered a-ha’s “Manhattan Skyline” with Einar Solberg (Leprous). Any thoughts? Also, a reminder that Pharos is out on September 11th through Candlelight Records.
This latest video from Skeletal Remains for “Dissectasy” seems like an appropriate way to close out the day. The Entombment Of Chaos drops on September 11th through Century Media.
Seems like a quiet day out there, but I’m sure I’ll find something.
Between The Buried And Me are going to be hosting a weekend streaming event in which they will be performing Colors in its entirety. There are two performance, on August 7th and 8th, and then a live Q&A on the 9th. Awesome stuff.
Finntroll are dropping their first new album in seven years. Vredesvävd will be out on September 18th through Century Media Records and you can hear the first new single, “Ormfolk”, right now.
Knotfest at Sea has been postponed indefinitely. The Slipknot festival was set to take place next month, before being rescheduled to August 2021. Now, however, we will cross our fingers and hope that it happens at some point in the future at all.
And here’s the confirmation we were looking for. Ihsahn has announced his next EP, Pharos, drops on September 11th. That will be out through Candlelight Records and you can check out the first single, “Spectre At The Feast”, immediately below.
Ihsahn is hinting at something here. If I were to take a guess, I would say (and strongly hope) we are getting the follow-up EP to Telemark, which dropped earlier this year.
And we will mix things up with some Swiss metalcore to round out the evening. This is End of Silence with the new video for “Edge Of The Road”, taken from 2019’s Sail To The Sunset. Give it a watch below.
I’m pretty much fed up with the world, so I’m going to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to invest in this Black Sabbath shirt. Proceeds go directly to Black Live Matter, so make it happen.
