Tapering is my favorite part of training.

Tchornobog and Abyssal are releasing a split on November 25th through Lupus Lounge. Excepts of both tracks can be heard in this teaser, and pre-order details can be found here.
We’ve got new Autopsy coming at the end of the month, and today they unveiled a video for “Knife Slice Axe Chop” to get us ready. The official release date of Morbidity Triumphant is September 30th, and that will be available through Peaceville.
City of Caterpillar are releasing their first album in 20 years, Mystic Sisters, on September 30th through Relapse Records, and today they shared a studio video for “Paranormaladies”. Additionally, be sure to catch them on the road this coming November.
We’re going to close with a highlight from FITM. Lykotonon, the dark industrial project featuring members of Stormkeep, Blood Incantation, and Wayfarer, are releasing their debut full-length on November 25th. Promethean Pathology will be available through Profound Lore, and “That Which Stares In Kind” can be heard below.

And on this day, we drink bourbon.

Blood Incantation have a new album on the way. Timewave Zero is out on February 25th through Century Media, and is available for pre-order here.
Black metal duo Austere have signed on with Prophecy Productions/Lupus Lounge, with plans to release their third full-length sometime in 2022 after a decade-long hiatus. Looks like they’ll also be releasing some past recordings as well, so good stuff all around.
Malefic Throne have set the release date for their self-titled Hells Headbangers debut EP. It will be out on January 28th on CD and cassette (vinyl to come later), and you can check out “A New Hand Upon the Blade” right now.
Helloween gave us a new video today, for “Out For The Glory”. That track, of course, is taken from the self-titled album that dropped back in June. Pick that one up through Atomic Fire, if you haven’t already.
May as well end with Behemoth, who have shared the final video from In Absentia Dei. Check out the clip for “Slaves Shall Serve” below. Man, I forgot how monstrous that track (and album) was. You can purchase that live album here, if you feel so inclined.

It got colder. And rainy. And the time changed. Make it stop. But, enough of my discomforts. New metal is why you came and we definitely can oblige with another long list this week: 200 Stab Wounds are coming in hot with their long awaited full length that’s an open love letter to the kind of gory death metal that struck fear in parents back in the day, next up is Dold Vorde Ens Navn with a black metal effort that’s an excellent combination of its members (do your research), then we’ve got an off kilter death metal outing from Vertebra Atlantis, a physical edition of cosmic black metal from Mesarthim, and a whole grab bag more that follows. As usual, something for every taste here so jump in and get some.

Album Review: Eïs – “Bannstein”

October 13, 2015October 12, 2015Corey2 Comments

Let’s keep 2015’s trend of phenomenal German black metal going. For a country that has been subject to some criticism for lacking a quality extreme metal scene, this year has certainly put some of that to rest. The focus now is on Bannstein, the latest release from Eïs. While the album itself dropped well over a week ago now, Bannstein’s quality is certainly worth continuous studying. Start to finish, the black metallers out of the North Rhine-Westphalia region have created a black metal piece that leaves a noticeable impression.
