Thanks to this wonderful team and their coverage, I have been on a serious Enslaved kick all day.

Cloak is popular around this corner of the internet, so let’s start there. Their third full-length album, Black Eternal Flame, is scheduled for a May 26 release through Season of Mist. Give the music video for “Invictus” a peak here, the first material off the forthcoming album, of course.
Next up, we have New Jersey’s Sunrot. Their sophomore album, The Unfailing Rope, is out on April 7 through Prosthetic Records, and today they shared a new track with video, titled “Patricide”.
Cradle of Filth shared a new track and video, titled “She Is A Fire”. Their first live album in 20 years, Trouble and Their Double Lives, is set for an April 28 release through Napalm Records. That collection will feature classics as well as a couple of new studio tracks. Fun!
Macabre are celebrating 30 years of Sinister Slaughter with an April 14 vinyl, CD, and tape reissue through Nuclear Blast. Get the full scoop, and purchase details (obviously), right here.
Ingested feels like the right way to close out. Taken from last year’s Metal Blade release in Ashes Lie Still, they dropped a new video for “Echoes Of Hate”. Give it a watch below. This comes on the cusp of their upcoming European tour with Cannibal Corpse, a run that kicks off on the 10th.

All this and more of what we’ve been listening to in our off hours down below.

Yob.4.3.19.41

Why doesn’t it feel like the weekend?

Couple tours to throw at you today. The first features Origin, who will be cruising around North America with Beneath The Massacre, Wake, and Defeated Sanity. Those dates run through March and early April.
The next tour comes from Yob, who not only announced some west coast and European dates in March and May, but also an appearance at Fire In The Mountains. Man, really wish I could go this year. Maybe 2021.
Hexvessel dropped the first single from their upcoming album. Kindred isn’t out until March 20th (on Svart Records), but “Demian” can be streamed right now.
Lastly, because this seems like a fun thing for a Friday, here is a new video from Macabre for “The Ted Bundy Song”. For those that may not remember, that was a track from 1993’s Sinister Slaughter. Their entire discography is now available digitally, which is why they are celebrating with this throwback. Fun!

To me, Friday felt like the first real day of this year’s Maryland Deathfest. (No disrespect to Thursday’s performers at all; I just only saw three of them, so for my personal experience, it felt more like a prologue of sorts.) For the first time — absent the opportunity for parking lot hangs, crushed beer-can BBQing and other outdoor shenanigans — it’d be all metal straight through, from the late afternoon to the earliest part of the morning. Let’s get to it! Continue reading →
