queensryche – Nine Circles

CANTO: Krisiun, Dreadnought, Megadeth, and More

Best Megadeth I’ve heard in a long time? Best Megadeth I’ve heard in a long time.

But first, new Krisiun. The Brazilian death metallers unveiled “Sworn Enemies”, the opening track from Mortem Solis. That new studio album is out on July 29th through Century Media.
From there, we also have an important update from Dreadnought. Their new full-length, The Endless, is set for a release on August 26th through Profound Lore. Check out “Midnight Moon” over at Brooklyn Vegan.
Looks like we may hear more from Katatonia sooner rather than later, as the Swedish legends have signed a deal with Napalm Records. And now we patiently await album news…
Queensrÿche released the first track from Digital Noise Alliance, titled “In Extremis”. Give it a watch and listen here… even though I personally will not be.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot! The new track from Megadeth is awesome. Give “We’ll Be Back: Chapter I” a listen and watch below. The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! will be out on September 2nd.

This has been a long, yet productive, week. Let’s keep it rolling.

Let’s start with a tour. Weedeater have announced some North American headlining dates. Those are in March (well, aside from the 2/29 date in Asheville), and support will be in the form of The Goddamn Gallows.
As Abbath prepares for his band’s upcoming European tour, he took a couple minutes to share this message. Sounds like he’s a couple months sober, which is great. But he also isn’t in corpse paint, which threw me off for a second. Either way, great update indeed!
Sepultura are releasing Quadra on February 7th through Nuclear Blast, if you weren’t previously aware. If you’re anticipating this record like I am, this album trailer might be of interest to you.
Here’s a new lyric video from Queensrÿche for “Inner Unrest”. That one was taken from The Verdict, which dropped last March on Century Media Records.

Asthma Castle - Mount Crushmore

I saw Wayfarer and Falls of Rauros last night and now my life is whole.

As they kick off their European tour today/tonight, Queensryche have dropped a new lyric video for “Bent”, which was pulled from their most recent record titled The Verdict. Check it out.
Death metallers Visceral Disgorge are streaming a new track today, also in lyric video form. This one is called “Necrotic Biogenesis” and it will be featured on the upcoming Slithering Evisceration, which is slated for a September 13th release via Agonia Records. They have upcoming U.S. dates starting in September as well.
Asthma Castle, the stoner metal project featuring members of Pig Destroyer and Misery Index, have upcoming live dates in August in conjunction with the release of their latest effort, titled Mount Crushmore, which is available now.
Because streaming new tracks is apparently the theme today, let’s check out one from The Great Old Ones titled “The Omniscient”. It’s long and I am enjoying it immensely. Cosmicism will be out on October 25th via Season of Mist.

khemmis.2.17.18.14

Anybody else watch Lords of Chaos yet? Actually… neither have I.

Look at Khemmis doing stuff! The Denver doomers have just signed on with Nuclear Blast. Looks like new music and some tours in the works as well. I love these guys, I hope they make lots of money.
Sunn O))) have announced some fun Record Store Day happenings. Their next album, Life Metal, will be released on both CD and vinyl come April 13th via indie retail. I guess that’s cool if you don’t want to wait a couple extra days? Not sure what to pull from this news exactly, tbh.
So. Borknagar has a new lead vocalist. Who is it you ask? None other than I.C.S. Vortex… who was already doing a lot of vocal stuff anyway? Anyway. Andreas “Vintersorg” Hedlund has decided to step down, and there seems to be no negative feelings anywhere… So let’s see what happens next!
A music video! “Blood Of The Levant” from Queensrÿche. Casual reminder that The Verdict, is out at the end of the week.

Couple tours today. The first is Mushroomhead (who are still a thing?), with Ventana, and Worldwide Panic here in the U. S. and A. Yeah, I’m gonna hafta take a pass on that one.
Also, Children of Bodom have announced their North American headlining tour supporting their next album, Hexed. Dates run through March and April. Support is in the form of Swallow the Sun, Wolfheart, and a few more.
ONE MORE. Whitechapel will co-headline the “Chaos and Carnage” tour with Dying Fetus. Revocation, Fallujah, and a few others are also involved.
Queensrÿche have released a new track and lyric video. The song is called “Dark Reverie”. Apparently their next album will be out March 1st and it’s called The Verdict.
