There is a correlation between the temperature outside, and my stress level inside.

Let’s start with a tour that I am pretty stoked for. The Black Dahlia Murder are touring North America with After The Burial, Carnifex, Rivers of Nihil, and Undeath this coming September and October. There are some pre-sale links out there as well, so go do that thing.
There’s another tour announcement out there today that’s striking all the sentimental feels. P.O.D., yes P.O.D., has announced a headlining tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of Satellite. And now I feel old. Anyway, those dates start in August, and tickets are available here.
More metal and booze collaborations! This time, it’s Pessimist teaming up with Brimming Horn Meadery to create their own “Blood for the Gods” mead. It’ll be made with plum and aronia berries that have been aged in oak barrels. Sounds pretty fucking delicious to me.
We’re going to wrap the day up with the new video from Amenra because, well, it’s expectedly incredible. This clip is for “Voor Immer”, the latest from De Doorn. That album is set for a June 25th release through Relapse Records, and can be purchased here. Additionally, there’s going to be a livestream event celebrating the album’s release on June 27th, and you can scoop up a ticket here. All kinds of good stuff.

Today was a little more tame, which is all I can ask for.

King Woman has set July 30th as the release date for the highly anticipated sophomore album, Celestial Blues. That will be out through Relapse Records, and is available for pre-order here. Check out the clip for “Morning Star” while you’re at it.
Red Fang have announced a U.S. tour, scheduled for this coming October and November. Support will be provided by Starcrawler, Here Lies Man, and Warish. I will definitely be attending this one, because Red Fang is awesome… and even more awesome live. And a reminder, Arrows is out this Friday, also through Relapse.
Atreyu has also announced a fairly massive U.S. tour this coming November and December. They’ll be supported by Tetrarch, Crown The Empire, Saul, and Defying Decay. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday, but there’s always a pre-sale code for those that want it.
We have a couple videos worth sharing today (subjective), and we’ll start with Vreid. They dropped the clip for “Dazed and Reduced”, which is taken from the recently released Wild North West, out through Season of Mist.
And we’ll close with the video from Burning Witches. The Witch Of The North is out now through Nuclear Blast, and the new video for “We Stand As One” is available immediately below.
