Solium Fatalis – The Undying Season (Galy Records)
Soooo…this thing isn’t on Spotify or Bandcamp. Or Soundcloud. Bold strategy there, guys. Corey and I have the full album and will be ready to discuss on the pod, but…unless you guys want to buy this thing sound unheard, you’re gonna have to settle for the band’s new single, “Corruptor,” for now.

Death Karma – The History of Death & Burial Rituals Part I (Iron Bonehead)
—
Kraków – Amaran (Dark Essence)

We’ll also have written reviews of these and other new releases here on the site throughout the week, but for now, take a listen and check back later this week for our spoken thoughts in Episode 40!
Other New Releases of Note:
Sumac – The Deal (Profound Lore)
Primitive Man – Home Is Where the Hatred Is (Relapse)
If you’re of a gambling persuasion, you can probably bet on not finding an album as all-over-the-place Kraków‘s newest one, Amaran, over the rest of this year. Don’t be mistaken—that’s a compliment. While the Norwegian sludgy post-metallers use the same basic set of ingredients as they had on past works like Monolith and Diin, they’ve widened their scope considerably for album number three, exploring a more dramatic range of both heavy and psychedelic sounds.

Well, this certainly was a nice break in the action at the day job. (Using the term “action” loosely, of course.)
