CANTO: Judas Priest, Seth, Cabal, and More

CoreyLeave a comment


I actually have no idea why I’m coming in so late tonight.

  • What do we have for tours today? Jinjer announced a North American headlining run, with support from Hanabie. and Born of Osiris. Those are September and October dates, and general ticket sales begin on Friday.
  • And a second one. Judas Priest are bringing Sabaton along for some North American dates, also in September and October. That would be the second leg of the Invincible Shield Tour and tickets go on sale Friday here.
  • Seth makes black metal that I like, so here’s their new track titled “Insurrection”. As a reminder, La France des Maudits is out on Bastille Day, July 14, through Season of Mist.
  • Elephant Tree are celebrating 10 years of Theia with the new video single “Try”… as well as three releases: a reissue of the album just mentioned, a reissue of 2020’s Habits, and Handful of Ten, a new album out on September 6 through Magnetic Eye Records.
  • We’ll end with the latest from Cabal. They released a new track in collaboration with Fabräk, titled “Sort Sommer”. The video for that is below like always, and here’s the streaming link if you prefer to go that route.

Coming at you late because this Monday was very much a Monday.

  • Let’s fire this up with some black metal out of Season of Mist. Seth released a new single titled “Dans le Cœur un Poignard”, the latest from the upcoming La France des Maudits. That one is set to drop on July 14, Bastille Day.
  • Indiana death metal crew Obscene are releasing their third full-length, Agony & Wounds, on July 12 through Nameless Grave Records. Check out the “The Reaper’s Blessing” over at No Clean Singing to get a taste.
  • And then, some doom out of LA. QAALM have set June 21 as the release date for their First Light Of The Last Dawn EP, which will be available through Hypaethral Records. Check out the title track right now over on Bandcamp.
  • And then we have a lyric video from Slaughtersun for “Ready Cell Awaits”. Worth noting, their debut live performance is coming up on June 29 at the Lucky 13 Saloon in Brooklyn. Great spot.
  • And we’ll wrap this up with some tech death in the form of Cognitive. They dropped a new video for “Insidious”, taken from the just-released new album Abhorrence. That one is out through Metal Blade, and that clip is available below.

The mountains sure look awesome this time of day.

  • From what I understand, the new Six Feet Under is going to be pretty good. So on that note we’ll open with the lyric video for “Ascension”. As a reminder, Killing for Revenge is set for a May 10 release through Metal Blade.
  • Next up, a tour. Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment have announced the Kiss of Death Tour Part 2, set for August and September, with Avatar and Tx2 in support. General ticket sales open on Friday.
  • From there we have the latest offering from Full of Hell. Coagulated Bliss arrives on April 26 through Closed Casket Activities, a week from Friday, and today they unveiled a video for the title track.
  • How about some new gothic metal? Exsomnis released their debut single, “Inertia”, a lyric video of which can be seen here. Good stuff from some familiar faces.
  • Seth tends to make black metal that I like, so let’s close out with their announcement. La France des Maudits is out on July 14, Bastille Day, through Season of Mist. A video for the leading single, “Et Que Vive le Diable !”, is available below.

Best of 2021: Corey’s List

Best of 2021

Is that it? Am I the last one? Dang. Again. Wait, maybe one more to come… Anyway, I guess I’ll start this off on my soapbox as always, by noting that I truly cannot comprehend where we are as a society. Well, I suppose I can, which is even more frustrating. If 2020 wasn’t a brutal enough year (not in a good way), 2021 seemed to serve as an appropriate encore. Seemingly everything we experience in life has been weaponized for political gain in one way or another, a global pandemic has been widely accepted as an endemic thanks, in part, to widespread misinformation, and, just as bluntly, climate disasters resulting from human activity are on the brink of running rampant for the duration of humanity’s remaining existence… however brief that may be. And those are just my three favorite, non-personal, items to discuss in our corner of the universe. It sucks, and I’m burnt out. Optimism has completely faded at this point, and I’m ready to run screaming into the woods. But hey, cheers to 2020, right?!
