CANTO: The Ocean, Miscreance, Eleine, and More

Holocene is out tomorrow… which means I may be hard to reach.

Speaking of which, you can stream the new album from The Ocean a little early here. That one is, of course, out through Pelagic Records…tomorrow. In case that wasn’t clear.
Swedish dark symphonic metal collective Eleine dropped a video for “War Das Alles”, which you can see here. That’s the latest from We Shall Remain, which is out on July 14 through Atomic Fire.
Outer Heaven announced their new album, Infinite Psychic Depths, will be out July 21 through Napalm Records. Give the video for “Rotting Stone / D.M.T.” a watch while you’re at it.
I don’t hear from Junius much unfortunately, so let’s go there next. They premiered an acoustic version of “Transcend the Ghost” through Decibel. A repress for Reports from the Threshold of Death is out through Prosthetic but is probably sold out at this point.
We can wrap up the day with some old school tech death. Miscreance shared a new music video for “The Garden”. That’s taken from the reissue of their debut album, Convergence, which is out tomorrow through Season of Mist.

Canto after dark: still a thing sometimes! Gonna keep it quick though.

Leading off, we have Burning Witches. They released the third single, “World On Fire”, from their upcoming new album. Their fifth studio album, The Dark Tower, is out this Friday through Napalm Records.
And an upcoming North American tour! Sanguisugabogg dates with Kruelty, Vomit Forth, and more. Those dates are in July and August, and tickets go on sale this Friday.
Chthonic is a callback to my formative metal years, so let’s see what they’re up to. Here’s a new video of them performing “Pattonkan” at Megaport Festival in Takao City, Taiwan.
The Devil’s Trade is a thing that I like, so let’s end on that note. A new album, Vidékek vannak idebenn, is slated for a July 14 release through Season of Mist. Check out the video for the brand new track, “Flashing Through the Lack of Light” directly below.

Two more cantos until Ireland (counting this one)!

Lamb of God announced some headlining dates in August (and one in September) that are going to be absolutely wild. The lineup is stacked, featuring Ice Nine Kills, The Black Dahlia Murder, Suicide Silence, and more, and tickets can be found through Live Nation starting Friday.
Boris and Uniform are releasing a collaborative album on June 16 through Sacred Bones Records, titled Bright New Disease. “You Are The Beginning” is the first sample taken from that effort, and you can give it a listen here.
Next up, out of Season of Mist we have new stuff from Erdve. The experimental sludge outfit dropped a new single and video, titled “Neigti”, material that follows 2021’s Savigalia.
And we’ll close with the latest from Oceanlord. The music video for “Kingdom” can be found below, the final single taken from Kingdom Cold. That album is slated for a May 26 release through Magnetic Eye Records. Four is enough for today – I’ve got stuff to do. Bye!

The inbox was a little shy today, but let’s see if I can find a few things worth sharing…

RUÏM unveiled “The Triumph (Of Night & Fire)”, the first track taken from Black Royal Spiritism – I.O Sino Da Igreja. Give that a listen, and lock in your pre-order, here. The debut album from the new project from Blasphemer, former guitarist of Mayhem and founder of Vltimas, is out on May 26 through Peaceville.
German brutal tech death metal collective Orphalis are releasing their new album, As The Ashes Settle, on July 25 through Transcending Obscurity. They’re currently streaming a few tracks from that collection over on Bandcamp in case you want to get a taste of what’s to come.
Cloak have added a few U.S. shows to their calendar, including an appearance at Oblivion Access Festival and their first ever show in New Orleans. Here is the updated schedule. As a reminder, their new album, Black Eternal Flame, is out on May 26 through Season of Mist.
Orange County’s Bleed the Sky dropped a new single a few days back, titled “Soul Collapse”, and you can check out the visualizer for that one here.
And we’ll wrap up our Monday with a little nu-deathcore, which is a subgenre that I now know exists. Below is the new video from Left to Suffer for “Artificial Anatomy”. Their new album, Feral, is set for a May 12 release. The links you need for that one can be found here.

Coming at you a little late. Another one of THOSE days.

Creeping Death is supporting Boundless Domain on the road this Summer, with North American dates throughout June and July. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. Their highly anticipated new album is set for a June 16 release through MNRK Heavy.
Attila dropped a new single, “Bite Your Tongue”, if you’re in need of a little metalcore in your day. A visualizer for that one can be seen here. They’ve got some live dates in May coming up as well.
If you can’t wait until tomorrow, Defiled are streaming The Highest Level in full a day early. Give is a listen here. That one is out… will be out… through Season of Mist.
Closing out we have one of my favorites, Ingested, with a new clip for “With Broken Wings”. That track, of course, is taken from Ashes Lie Still, which is out through Metal Blade. Their North American headline tour, where they’ll be joined by Devourment, Extermination Dismemberment, and Organectomy, kicks off next week.
