Apologize for the tardiness. There were tiles that needed demolishing.

We’ll start with Shrapnel, who announced a new album titled In Gravity. That collection is set for a May 31 release through Candlelight Records, and a video for the new single titled “Amber Screams” can be seen here.
Mysterious black metallers Darkestrah revealed the title-track from their upcoming new album, Nomad. The seventh installment in their discography arrives on March 29 through Osmose Productions.
Sylvaine shared the title-track from her upcoming new EP, Eg Er Framand, a visualizer for which can be seen here. That one is out on March 22 through Season of Mist.
Another March 22 release is Unextinct from Hideous Divinity. They recently unveiled a clip for “Against the Sovereignty of Mankind” taken from that new album. Give it a peak below. That will be available through Century Media.

Four is enough for today. Catch ya tomorrow. Probably.

Hey, the inbox is starting to pick up! New year, same (slightly older and more useless) me!

Massachusetts death metal outfit Bonginator have signed on with Testimony Records for the release of their sophomore effort. Better yet, they’re also currently on tour with Frog Mallet and Body Farm. What a blast those shows must be.
Dutch black metal entity Funeral Winds revealed a new track titled “Birthed by Pure Malevolence”. That’s the first offering from 333, which is set for a January 26 international release date through Osmose Productions.
Los Angeles’ Anubis rang in the new year with a new single and lyric video, ”Heartless”. That’s taken from Dark Paradise, which drops on February 24 on those various physical formats we like so much.
Artificial Heaven is releasing their debut album a week from Friday through My Kingdom Music, titled Digital Dreams. Check out their cover of “Russian Roulette” here.
Instrumental progressive metallers Vipassi shared the third single taken from Lightless. Give the visualizer for “Morningstar” a watch below. Their second album is slated for a January 26 release through Season of Mist.

CANTO: Visions of Atlantis, Abyssic, Cassius King, and More

Two down, three to go. And the week gets really interesting starting tomorrow.

We’ll start Tuesday with a tour. Visions of Atlantis are covering a decent chunk of North America early in 2023, in support of their new album Pirates. Get all the dates and ticket links here. And in case you missed it, that album is out on Napalm Records.
Actually, you know what? Here’s another tour. Parkway Drive have some headlining dates in the U.S. early next year, with support from Memphis May Fire and Currents. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday at this location.
Extreme doom metal crew Abyssic are releasing Brought Forth in Iniquity this coming Friday through Osmose Productions, but if you can’t quite wait that long you can stream the album in full over at the 666MrDoom YouTube channel.
And then we’ll move on to Satanic Tea Co. Why? Because the concept amuses me. The second single, titled “Human Tea”, which features Cryptopsy’s Matt McGachy, is streaming over at Decibel.
Finally, some stoner doom to round things out. Cassius King offered up a video for “Abandon Paradise”, a track taken from Dread The Dawn. Give it a watch below. That album dropped last Friday through MDD Records.

Another week, another list of new metal… to which, we rejoice! I know, I know, it’s Monday and that’s a bit too much excitement. However, who doesn’t get excited over new metal? I mean, that’s about all we have anymore. Anywho, get your frowns on for a moment and welcome the new outing from Mournful Congregation (I kid, it’s good), next up is a war machine of deathgrind from Holocausto Canibal, then we’ve got an epic heavy metal effort from Gengis Khan, a rockin’ good time from Besvärjelsen, and a bloated list of many other hits to empty your wallets and blast what’s left of your hearing. Head directly below and happy hunting. See you here throughout the week…

CANTO: Mizmor, Written In Torment, Cradle of Filth, and More

At least this is another short work week.

Having only seen Mizmor once, and feeling the need to increase that number, we’ll start with some recently announced live dates. An upcoming August tour, mostly on the other side of the country as myself, will feature material from Cairn. Make that happen if you can.
Looks like Cradle of Filth have switched over to Napalm Records. I can definitely see that match working out, so I’m not going to question it. As a reminder, Cradle of Filth are on the road the next few weeks if you feel like adding another show to your schedule.
True black metal legion Hats Barn have set June 24th as the international release date of Y.a.HW.e.H, their sixth album. That will be out through Osmose, and purchase information is available here. We’ll check back when the first track drops later this month.
The Devil Wears Prada have announced summer tour plans, with Stray From The Path and Dying Wish. Those dates are in August and September, and tickets can be acquired here.
Written In Torment have set the release date for Black Command, their fourth album. That will be out on July 4th through Purity Through Fire. Check out a new track, “Contra Passo”, right now.
One additional signing to highlight today, that being Opponent joining the Solid State Records roster. To mark the occasion, they released a new video for “Betrayed”. Give a watch below.
