CANTO: Deviant Process, Bad Omens, Buckcherry, and More

CoreyLeave a comment

I think I’m ready to buy a new camera. Fun fact.

  • Sure, we can start with Buckcherry I suppose. They’re teaming up with The Lacs for a winter tour kicking off on January 7th in Texas. Tickets, including VIP packages, go on sale this Friday at this location.
  • Underoath, a thing I’ve personally never cared for but many people very much do, have announced the “Digital Ghost” cinematic concert. It’s set for December 3rd, and serves as your first chance to hear Voyeurist in full. As a reminder, that album officially drops on January 14th.
  • Bad Omens are dropping a new album on February 25th, titled The Death of Peace of Mind. That will be out through Sumerian Records, and you can watch the video for the title track right now.
  • Délétère and Sarkrista are releasing a new split on December 2th through Sepulchral Productions. You can purchase that here, which you should, because these projects are pretty dope.
  • We’ll wrap up Wednesday with the new video from Deviant Process, for “Emergence”. Their new album, Nurture, dropped back on October 15th through Season of Mist.

Morning, y’all. What a weird world we’re waking up in. #Brexit actually happened yesterday, and while I hesitate to make knee-jerk, YOU’RE ALL FUCKED pronouncements here — I won’t pretend to know enough about the intricacies of it all to do so — it’s admittedly hard not to focus on it in the aftermath. I spent last night glued to Twitter in the wake of it all and didn’t get a ton of sleep, so our weekly whole new-metal distraction is most definitely a welcome one.

So, the new-metal distraction. What’ve we got this week? Well, somewhat appropriately, we start with Thèmes pour la rébellion, the latest from Québécois separatists Forteresse. Beyond that, we’ve got a new album from Mercyful Fate legends Michael Denner and Hank Shermann under their Denner / Shermann moniker, and new stuff from Völur, Kayo Dot and more. Check all that out below. For now, I’m back to the Twitter:

Album Review: Délétère – “Les Heures de la Peste”

“The Hours of the Plague.” The title of the debut full-length from Délétère certainly translates to something formidable. While the Québécois black metallers have been at it since 2009, they’ve thus far only teased us with two EPs up to this point. All of a sudden, however, they’ve emerged in 2015 with a demo compilation called De Ritibus Morbiferis as well as the aforementioned full-length. I’ll be covering the demo a little later on; for now, I’d like to focus on Les Heures de la Peste, which has delivered in the manner its name would imply.

Délétère – Les Heures de la Peste (Sepulchral Productions)

deletere les heures de la peste

So, here’s the thing…Délétère doesn’t appear to believe in streaming services. This thing is nowhere to be found anywhere—Spotify, Bandcamp, you name it. We’ve got an advance copy, but we obviously can’t go around sharing that with everyone. So for now, YouTube audio of one of the songs on the album (put out by the band’s label, Sepulchal Productions) will have to do. So here’s “Laudes – Credo II”—give it a listen:
