As promised, it is in fact snowing. But hey at least my new tent showed up today?

Let’s start with progressive death metal duo Entheos. A video for the new single “An End To Everything” was unveiled today, the first new material since last year’s Time Will Take Us All, which was released through Metal Blade. They’ve got July and August tour dates as well, in case you’re interested.
Speaking of tours, I think we’re all aware of the Insomnium run with Omnium Gatherum and Wilderun that kicks off next week. So to get you amped up for that one, checked out this live video for “Song of the Dusk”.
Harvestman, the Steve Von Till psych project, will reveal the Triptych album series across 2024, marking three full moons. The first installment, Triptych: Part One, arrives on April 23 through Neurot Recordings. Check out the visualizer for “Give Your Heart to the Hawk” here.
Next up, some doom out of New Jersey. Drift Into Black is set to release Voices Beneath the Rubble, their fifth studio album, on June 28 through Black Lion Records. Check out the video for the album’s title track here.
We got new Crypt Sermon coming! The Stygian Rose is set for a June 14 release through Dark Descent Records, and the video for the first single, “Heavy is the Crown of Bone”, can be seen directly below. Go do it.

What do you get when you combine members of Generation of Vipers, A Storm of Light and Intronaut, then get their collective creative juices flowing about, well… a lot of really heavy shit? (Think global warming, AI, the slow decay of human society in real time… you know! Fun stuff!)

Well, you get GUILTLESS! (And also, you get one hell of a heavy listen.)

CANTO: Northlane, Sólstafir, Sylosis, and More

An hour or two out in the woods with my camera on a Sunday makes for a much more tolerable Monday. I should have known.

Let’s start with a tour. Northlane are returning to North America for a headlining run in June and July, with Invent Animate, Thornhill, and Windwaker alongside. Tickets go on sale Friday, and you can get those, and any additional details you might need, here.
Next up, an update from Sólstafir. The Icelandic post-metallers have inked a deal with Century Media and have a new album planned for later this year. With that news, they also announced a late-2024 European tour with Oranssi Pazuzu, Hamferð, and Helga. So yeah, that’s gonna rule.
Psych doom trio Ufomammut are releasing their next album on May 17 through Neurot Recordings and Supernatural Cat Records, titled Hidden. Check out the animated video for the new track “Leeched” right here.
Rope Sect have set May 17 as the release date for their next album as well. Estrangement, their sophomore full-length effort, will be out through Iron Bonehead Productions, and “Revel in Disguise” can be heard at the label’s YouTube channel.
Closing out, we have a new live video from Sylosis for “Poison For The Lost”. That track is taken from their last full-length, A Sign Of Things To Come, out through Nuclear Blast, and the footage is from a recent London show with Malevolence.

CANTO: Ashbringer, Ascended Dead, Elder Devil, and More

This is going to be a murderous week and I am already exhausted by it.

Opening with some atmospheric black metal on this gloomy day feels right. Check out the new stuff from Ashbringer, “Rain”, over at Invisible Oranges. They’ve signed on to Translation Loss, so we’ll keep eyes out for a new album announcement sometime soon as well.
How about a couple of tours? Wormhole are hitting North America with Analepsy, Cognitive, and Necroticgorebeast this coming July and early August. Here’s the full schedule with ticket links.
And then we have Ascended Dead. The West Coast Apocalypse tour includes a handful of dates in June, alongside Coscradh. They’ll be supporting Evenfall Of The Apocalypse, which is approaching its May 12 release through 20 Buck Spin.
False Fed, a new project formed by members of Ministry, Amebix, Nausea, Discharge, and more have signed with Neurot Recordings. We can expect their debut later this year, titled Let Them Eat Fake.
Let’s close with some grind. Elder Devil dropped a video for “My Body Is An Earthen Shrine”, which you can check out below. Their sophomore album, Everything Worth Loving, is out on June 16 through Prosthetic Records.

CANTO: Ufomammut, Saor, Seventh Storm, and More

Not the most exciting start to the week, but at least we have some fresh Saor to check out.

But we’ll lead off with Ufomammut, and the new visualizer for their latest album, Fenice. Give it a watch and listen when time allows. That album is out now through Neurot Recordings.
Death Bells are getting up to some good stuff. First, we have this new performance video for “Hysteria”. That’s a track from Between Here & Everywhere, which is out on July 29th through Dais Records. Beyond that, they also have some live dates running from July 30th through August 31st, so be sure to catch them on the road if the opportunity presents itself.
Seventh Storm are releasing their debut album, Maledictus, on August 12th through Atomic Fire Records. This is the new project from Mike Gaspar (Moonspell), so we’ll be sure to keep eyes out for new music and preorder information in the coming weeks.
And, as promised, we’re close out with the new track from Saor. Below is the new video for “Beyond the Wall”. It’s a little different, and a lot awesome. As a reminder, Origins is out on June 24th through Season of Mist.
