The snow has officially fallen. Not upset.

Let’s start with this video of Trivium’s Matt Heafy jamming out with Sepultura for “Slave New World”. That’s part of the SepulQuarta series, which you may have heard of once or twice.
Sumac surprised us with a new single today. “Two Beasts” is an 18-minute behemoth that is all of the heavy and all of the experimental we could hope for. Scoop that monster up on their Bandcamp page right now.
Bask dropped a couple riff and beat rundown videos over on their YouTube channel today. The clips feature tracks “Ramble Beyond” and “Three White Feet”, the latter of which was taken from 2019’s release through Season of Mist, III.
Into Eternity dropped a new song, “Nuclear”, over the weekend. Feel free to stream or download it here, and be sure to check out the playthrough video immediately below. We can also expect a full-length sometime next year, which definitely does not suck.

CANTO: Soilwork, Tribulation, Allegaeon, and More

Saturday post because SO many things happened yesterday.

Allegaeon released a new digital single, Concerto in Dm, which features that title-track and B-side “In Flanders Fields”. Those tracks date back to the Apoptosis days, and you can check out a play-through and documentary here.
Trivium’s Matt Heafy has teamed up with social media person/human/whatever Jared Dines to create the Dines X Heafy EP. Watch the video for the single “Dear Anxiety” if you feel so inclined.
Tribulation opened my Friday with a pretty substantial lineup change. Jonathan Hultén has made the decision to pursue other paths, with Joseph Tholl taking his place. There appears to be no negative feelings in any direction… but this is still weird for me.
And finally, Soilwork released a new video for “A Whisp Of The Atlantic”, the title-track from their new EP which dropped Friday through Nuclear Blast.

Holy Hell I am tired today. Thankfully, my new Churchburn hat showed up in the mail.

Kataklysm guitarist Jean-François Dagenais recently tested positive for COVID-19 and had been experiencing some pretty severe symptoms. He dropped a message today to shed some light on his experience. Hopefully he continues to feel better.
On August 29th, this coming Saturday, Trivium are offering up “The Deepest Cuts” free live stream event. It will take place in their rehearsal room, and will be broadcast through Matt Heafy’s Twitch channel.
Belgian death metallers Carnation have shared the title-track from their upcoming new album, Where Death Lies. The record is set to be released on September 18th through Season of Mist.
NoN (formerly Now Or Never) dropped a new single and music video for “Ordinary World” through Crusader Records. If some melodic metal seems like a good way to end your Monday, have at it.

“She spoke to me like hope was real, that peace was something I could feel.”

Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister will have his story shared as a biopic, which we should all be excited for. Depending on how things play out, it looks like production could start early next year.
I’m pretty much fed up with the world, so I’m going to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to invest in this Black Sabbath shirt. Proceeds go directly to Black Live Matter, so make it happen.
Ihsahn and Trivium‘s Matt Heafy are coming together for a black metal project titled Mrityu, which I think most of us already knew. Well, we have a real update from the studio to share today.
Varathron has announced a new live album, Glorification Under The Latin Moon, will drop on September 25th through Agonia Records. The album features footage from their 30th anniversary tour.
And we’ll close with a new music video from Kaamos Warriors for “Kuilu”. Their next album, titled Kirous, will be out sometime later this year.

CANTO: Fall tours to get excited about, a new Deafheaven track, and more!

Hello, everyone! It’s a great day isn’t it? Hot and humid all day with thunderstorms in the near future. Epic. A solid night to write up on some metal. Here’s what’s going on in the world today.

Let’s start with a new tour! And a freaking big one. Between the Buried and Me will be hitting the road in November with Enslaved, Intronaut, and Native Construct. I’m skipping it because I already saw Enslaved headline a show this year. Still a beast of a lineup, though.
You know what? Fuck it, let’s talk about another massive tour. This one features GWAR, Born of Osiris, and Battlecross. That particular lineup will be covering North America throughout October and November.
I don’t support Trivium, but this is kind of cool. Matt Heafy is auctioning off his metal shirt collection to benefit the VH1 Save The Music Foundation. 100% of the proceeds will be donated. This is a very, very awesome thing.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! is getting all metal on us. We already know about Lamb of God’s feature in the next week or so. But it was also announced recently that Faith No More would be performing the following week. Metal for the masses!
Finally, let’s close with a new Deafheaven track called “Brought to the Water”:
