Tomorrow is going to be a long one. Anyway, not much to share here but I’m sure we’ll find something.

Most importantly, we’ll lead off with the Wilderun headlining tour, set to kick off on June 2nd in Atlanta, and wrapping up on the 10th in Boston. Tickets are available here. I’m really hoping to get to at least one of those dates. Wilderun rules.
Next up we have The World Without Us, who are releasing a new EP on July 8th, titled Body Forth. Check out the video for “Eden”, premiered by The Circle Pit. Side note: I bet the world without us would be a wonderful, wonderful place.
Hyperspace Metal Festival announced 2023 details, and they don’t suck! The Vancouver festival will feature Exmortus, Striker, Judicator and more, and is set for April 13th through 15th next year. Should be a good time. Here’s the ticket link.
We’ll wrap up our Monday with Dawn Of Solace, who are following up the January release of Flames Of Perdition with a new EP, titled Notes Of Perdition. That drops on May 20th through Noble Demon. Check out the acoustic studio video for “Event Horizon” directly below.

Best of 2020: Chris’s Honorable Mention List

December 16, 2020December 12, 2020Chris2 Comments

It’s the beginning of the end. Of the year. This shitty, terrifying, mind-screw of a year. But you know what? It’s also the beginning of list making, which by now (if you’ve been reading me over the last four years) you realize I relish even as I qualify and condition every list I make. As per usual I kicked it off with a list of great albums that – for various reasons – didn’t make my main lists, but that didn’t make them any less special. Every album does that for me: even the ones I don’t connect with tell me something about how I connect with music, and sometimes that’s just as important as finding an album that does make that connection.

CANTO: Schammasch, Judicator, Spirit Adrift, and More

I’m ready for another vacation… only one more day!

Schammasch are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Sic Lvceat Lvx with a new vinyl reissue. It will officially be out on January 22 through Prosthetic Records, and you can drop your pre-order in right here.
All kinds of fun news today! Spirit Adrift dropped a new performance video for “Battle High”, taken from Enlightened in Eternity, which is out now on 20 Buck Spin. Everything these guys do is straight gold.
Space Chaser, the thrash crew out of Berlin, are the latest to sign on with Metal Blade Records. Their debut with the label should be out sometime next year, so add them to the list of bands to keep an eye out for in the near future.
Closing with a new Judicator video just feels like the right thing to do. Here is the new clip for “Let There Be Light”, taken from Let There Be Nothing. That album is out now on Prosthetic Records.
