Behemoth-02

2/8/2018. Every other day routine this week, apparently.

So I guess Ozzy isn’t all-the-way retiring after all. Just from large-scale tours. Ozzfest and such will go on. Probably because money.
Tesseract will be releasing their next album, Sonder, on April 20th. It’s their fourth album. It’ll be out on Kscope. They’ll be on tour in the U.S., too. So many things!
Here’s Nergal recording vocals because a light at the end of any long day is acknowledgement that new Behemoth is on the horizon.
Year of the Locust have given us a new video on this cold, dark Thursday. It’s for “Sunrise”, which dropped back on January 29th. Enjoy.

goatwhore

“As the Darkness creeps over the Northern mountains of Norway and the silence reaches the woods, I awake and rise… Into the night I wander, like many nights before, and like in my dreams, but centuries ago.”

Let’s start with a shiny new tour. Goatwhore has announced a tour in the United States in September that supplements their appearance at Ozzfest. If you’re out west, or out west-ish, check it out.
The Agonist is set to drop their latest album, Five, on September 30th. The melodic death metallers new album with be out on Napalm Records and it looks like the release will be supplemented by a run of shows… or something.
It’s a slow day and we haven’t covered album sales in awhile, so let’s do that. Check out notable releases from Chevelle and Nonpoint. Inter Arma and Gone is Gone are down there somewhere as well.
Jason Newsted, former Metallica bassist, has returned with a solo project called Would and Steal. The project will be mostly acoustic, but at this point that’s all we really know. More to come on Friday over at the Mighty Fine Guitars Facebook page.
Apocalyptica covered Metallica’s “Seek and Destroy” and… well, here it is.

“When it’d appear, the dawn of twilight, I felt my rightful way. I was so cold, the blood in me, the dawn, the crystal glow of night. High above, the crystal glow.”

This was teased for a few days, and now we get our big news. Ozzfest Meets Knotfest. This is going to be a MASSIVE back to back festival weekend. The headliners? Equally as massive. Black Sabbath will be headlining day 1.
More big festival news as Danzig has announced his plans to reunite with Jerry Only. This means that the original Misfits will be playing Riot Fest. Neaaaaaaaat.
Ghost is staying busy. Those clever men in masks have announced they will be releasing a new EP later this year.
Meshuggah news is always exciting. A new album (yet to be named) will be coming this fall. They are also touring Europe, which doesn’t help me at all.
Apocalyptica have released a video for their cover of Metallica’s “Battery” and ya know what? The strings make it kinda cool.

CANTO: Five Finger Death Punch, Belphegor, Periphery, and more

periphery

“One day I’m gettin’ to the point where I ain’t gonna do nothing but try to be strungout on you. You let me drown way deep down below, for the fleeting past to let go. Until the end I raise and batter around, lookin’ at my own reflection. Forever i shall kiss you goodbye to kill my soul addiction.”

Trouble at the Five Finger Death Punch camp! The band is being sued by their label, Prospect Park, on grounds that they are trying to rush shitty music before Ivan Moody’s eventual downfall. Well… that certainly is something.
Not long after they got harassed in Russia, Belphegor have announced a headlining tour here in the United States. They will be supported by Origin and Shining, among others.
Is Ozzfest going to be a thing again? Rockstar Mayhem Fest is dead and they’ve been all kinds of active with throwbacks on their Facebook page recently. Hmmm.
Didn’t Periphery just drop a double album? Not that it matters. They have announced their next album, Periphery III: Select Difficulty, will drop on July 22nd. Upcoming U.S. tour to follow in August.
Lacuna Coil‘s “Delirium” because why not?

CANTO: Album news from King Diamond, drinking horns from Johan Hegg, and adventures with Brent Hinds

Forget what I said yesterday. It feels like this week is starting to drag already.

I am definitely not a Kanye West fan. So, a good way to earn points in my book is to call him out whenever possible. Corey Taylor did just that in a recent video clip for Music Choice.
In other good news, it looks like we’re primed for some new King Diamond! The King announced work on the next album would commence after Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. I hate writing that.
For better or worse, we all know what Babymetal is. Well, now we have something even weirder. Let me give you Japan’s Ladybaby. It’s VERY satirical and VERY creepy. It can go away now.
I fully encourage the use of drinking horns when consuming alcohol. What I’m not so sure of, however, is this Johan Hegg horn that will run over almost a grand.
Finally, in lieu of a new video today, I’ve decided to share another reason why Brent Hinds is one of my favorite humans. Apparently at 2005’s Ozzfest, he was kicked out for taking shrooms and running around naked. A+ good sir.
