CANTO: Abrams, Necrofier, The Wraith, and More

Super late canto because sometimes life be like that.

TRVE Brewing’s 11th anniversary event is officially set for June 24 at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, Colorado. The lineup features Godflesh, Sumerlands, Stormkeep, and more. If I lived out that way… you know I would be there. Anyway, here’s your ticket link (they go on sale Friday).
Abrams have announced a run of shows out West with BleakHeart, which covers a good chunk of May. They’ll be promoting their latest release, In The Dark, which is available through Small Stone Recordings.
Texan black metallers Necrofier announced a new album, Burning Shadows in the Southern Night, which will be out on June 2 through Season of Mist Underground Activists. Check out the vicious new single, “Burnt by the Sacred Flame”, here.
Jesus Piece released “Silver Lining”, the latest from …So Unknown. Give it a listen here. That album is slated for an April 14 release through Century Media.
Closing out, we have Nine Circles favorite The Wraith. They’re back with their new vocalist Harley Mace, and a video for “Overthrown” can be seen below. You can also snag it through Bandcamp. That’s taken from Ghost March, which we’ll look out for later this year.

I find myself weirdly into tennis these days. That, and the Champions League of course.

The most important news in my day came from Peaceville Records. Darkthrone are releasing their next full length album on October 28th, titled Astral Fortress. Pre-orders go live tomorrow here, and a preview of the album is available here.
This is fun. Corpsegrinder released an animated music video for “Bottom Dweller”. It’s pretty damn entertaining. And if you somehow managed to miss this, his debut self-titled album dropped earlier this year and it’s very much worth your time.
Bloodbath unveiled a crushing new track, titled “No God Before Me”. That’s the latest from Survival of the Sickest, their new album which drops this coming Friday through Napalm Records. I assure you, we are all very excited about it.
We’re going to close with Drudkh, who are releasing All Belong to the Night on November 11th. That will be available through Season of Mist Underground Activists, and the first single, titled “November”, can be found below.

It’s Monday. The pickings are a little slim today, but let see what we can dig up.

We’ll lead off with some Italian death metal. Hierophant unveiled a new single, titled “Devil Incarnate”. That’s the latest one from Death Siege, which is slated for an August 26th release through Season of Mist. Here’s the purchase link, for those looking for it.
This next one is somewhat FITM-related, so I’m dropping it in. Munly & The Lupercalians are releasing a new album on August 26th through Scacunincorporated titled Kinnery Of Lupercalia; Undelivered Legion. Originally out in March exclusively for their fan club, it’s soon to be available to all. Cool.
Psychedelic/techno duo Collapse Culture, which features Kowloon Walled City and Bleach Everything members, are releasing their second album on September 16th. Drag Your Coffin My Lord will be out through Pax Aeternum. Check out “Nuclear Semiotics (Superstructure Collapse)” here.
Rounding out the day with something a bit more notable, we have another new track from In Flames. This one is titled “The Great Deceiver”, and much like “State of Slow Decay”, it brings some weight. Needless to say, I’m happy about this recent trend. Anyway, the video is below. Enjoy.

The times… well, they certainly are a-changin’.

We’ll start with a quick one. Testament has announced their new drummer. Dave Lombardo is back, and that is definitely an awesome thing. Be sure to catch them on tour this coming April and May with Exodus and Death Angel.
From there, we have a couple of notable tours to share today. First, we have Gatecreeper. They have April and May dates lined up with Narrow Head, 200 Stab Wounds, and Fearing. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday at Gatecreeper’s website.
And then Whores, Bummer, and Capra are touring the United States this coming June, kicking off on the 1st in Nashville. I’m telling you right now… that’s going to be a super fun show.
Texas progressive death/black metal collective Haunter is releasing Discarnate Ails on May 6th through Profound Lore. Check out a segment of the closing track, “Chained at the Helm of Eschaton”, right here.
Closing out what has been an absolutely wild Tuesday with the new track from Hell Militia for “Lifeless Light”. Hollow Void is set for a March 18th release through Season of Mist Underground Activists.

I sure do find some weird beers in the depths of my fridge.

I’m going to lead off with a couple items out of Season of Mist, starting with the new track from Nite. The third single from Voices of the Kronian Moon, titled “Edge of the Night”, is available here. And here’s the pre-order link you obviously need.
And then the label announced a new signing, Norwegian black metal collective Bizarrekult. Check out the debut album here, while we await a new album that should arrive sometime next year through Season of Mist Underground Activists.
The latest from The Others [Lustmord Deconstructed], featuring Ihsahn performing “Dark Awakening”, emerged today. As a reminder, that compilation celebrating Lustmord is out on April 1st through Pelagic Records.
Puscifer have announced their first U.S. tour dates since 2016. The tour kicks off on June 9th in Las Vegas and wraps up on July 10th in Seattle.
We’ll close Tuesday with the new track from Extinction A.D., “1992”. That’s taken from Culture of Violence, which drops on March 18th through Unique Leader.
