I officially live in the mountains… just in time for winter.

Northwest Terror Fest is returning in 2023, and the lineup is pretty darn stacked. Yob, Wormrot, Horrendous, and obviously many more. That festival is set for May 25 through 27 in Seattle, and tickets go on sale this coming Friday. Get the full scoop here.
With Focus turning 30 in 2023, Cynic are paying homage to late members Sean Reinert and Sean Malone, while marking the anniversary of that album, with two special performances. They’ll be performing on the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise, which is set for January 30 through February 3, and then at ProgPower USA on September 6 in Atlanta. These are their first live performances since the passing of Reinert and Malone.
Switching things up fairly aggressively, we have news from Lordi. They’ve just signed on with Atomic Fire Records, so it seems that their next chapter is being written, and new music is on the horizon. We’ll keep our eyes out. For now, if you happen to be in Europe, they’re currently on the road basically through May. (Not really… more like until December, and then again in April and May).
Swedish death metallers Souldrainer unveiled a visualizer for the new track “End of the World”. That’s the closing track from Departure, which is out on December 9 through Black Lion Records.

So I was sitting around a couple weeks ago, begrudgingly scrolling through some social media platform (while contemplating if this would indeed be the moment the internet finally made me stab my eyes out), when I saw a light far off in the distance. And by distance I mean slightly further down the page. What was this beacon I stumbled upon? Lordi. Mother. Freaking. Lordi. And just like that, inspiration struck.

Another clean sweep!

Some quick updates from Napalm Death. They have a new 7″ dropping on February 7th through Century Media titled Logic Ravaged By Brute Force. On top of that, they have some more European tour dates on the horizon. And by that I mean next month.
Huntsmen have also announced a new album. Mandala of Fear will be out March 13th through Prosthetic Records. For now, you can check out a new track called “Ride Out”. They have upcoming March dates supporting the new album as well. Find those on your own.
I spent way too many hours watching Lordi music videos last night, and I’ve been in a dark place all day because of it. For that, I give you a new lyric video for “Like A Bee To The Honey”. Killection drop on the 31st through AFM Records.
Suicide Silence dropped a new single and music video today, titled “Two Steps”. Give it a watch below. Become The Hunter is out February 14th via Nuclear Blast.

I need to go for a run. Also, some of this news is from yesterday. Deal with it.

Fen, a band I love but feel like I haven’t mentioned in awhile, are set to release their next album on December 6th. It will be called The Dead Light and will be available through Prophecy Productions. Apparently Winter came out in 2017, so I suppose it hasn’t been that long.
Immortal Bird have announced some headlining dates here in North America. They run through most of December and cover the eastern half of the U.S. Also, a reminder that their latest album, Thrive On Neglect, is out now on 20 Buck Spin.
Lordi — because any opportunity to mention Lordi must be seized — have announced a new album, titled Killection, that will be out on January 31st via AFM Records. That will be the tenth studio album from the Finnish monsters.
Check out this new video from Cloak for “A Voice in the Night”. The song is obviously great, and this video is very much appropriate on a number of levels. The Burning Dawn will be out on October 25th via Season Of Mist.

“Hide my fears and kill my doubts, whatevers in my way. Poppin’ pills and drinkin’ booze,
smokin’ everyday. Stoned and drunk completely gone, my world is here to stay.”

This was big news from last week that I missed because I was traveling. Ex-Agalloch members Jason Walton, Aesop Dekker, and Don Anderson have teamed up with Aaron John Gregory of Giant Squid to form a new project called Khôrada.
How about some Ozzy related things? He previously said his career was still going strong and it looks like he means. Once this Sabbath tour over for good, it sounds like he will be hitting the studio for some solo stuff.
How about some Mastodon stuff, too? According to guitarist Bill Kelliher, the dudes have already been working on new material and will try to jump in the studio in October or November.
Might Jason Newsted team up with Metallica again? Aside from just praising the new material, the former bassist has opened up about his communication with the thrashers.
Remember Lordi? I sure do. And now you can too with this totally NSFW video for “Hug You Hardcore.”
