CANTO: The Black Dahlia Murder, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Exodus, and More

Another hockey season in the books. Now what?

Let’s start with a couple of tours. First, The Black Dahlia Murder and Dying Fetus co-headlining tour, with support from Spite, AngelMaker, Vomit Forth. Those are October and November dates, with tickets going on sale this week.
Another one! Fleshgod Apocalypse and Shadow of Intent co-headlining a run in September and October. Ingested, The Zenith Passage, and Disembodied Tyrant will there too, so this is a killer lineup. Here’s that ticket link.
ANOTHER ONE! Exodus, with support in the form of Havok, Candy, and Dead Heat. Those are in November and December, and the full schedule can be seen in here. So basically we have your fourth quarter mapped out, is what I’m saying.
Generation of Vipers are returning with a new album on August 23 after a decade absence. So that’s cool. Guilt Shrine will be out through Translation Loss Records and you can stream “Lux Inversion” over at Decibel.
And to wrap up, a new track from A Wake In Providence. I Write To You, My Darling Decay is out on July 26 through Unique Leader Records, and the visualizer for “Agonofinis” can be found below.

I know. It’s super late. Life is chaos. Deal with it.

We finally have that announcement from The Black Dahlia Murder that we have been anxiously awaiting. Servitude will be out on September 27 through Metal Blade Records, and you can watch and stream “Aftermath” here.
Winterfylleth also unveiled new album details. The Imperious Horizon will arrive on September 13 through Candlelight and Spinefarm. A video for that one’s first single, “Dishonour Enthroned”, can be seen here.
Looks like Cryptopsy have signed on with Season of Mist, which is certainly some good news. They’re touring with Carnifex this fall, and it sounds like new music is on the way. Bring it.
Darkest Hour announced a couple August dates, and they’ll be appearing at the return of Mayhem Fest in October. On top of that, they also dropped a new lyric video for “Mausoleum”.
And closing for the night, we have the new track and video from Unto Others titled “Raigeki”. I haven’t listened to it yet, which is a bit silly. As a reminder (is it a reminder?), they’re on tour towards the end of the year with W.A.S.P.

This week has already been a complete pain in the ass.

Tours. The Black Dahlia Murder has September headlining dates, and they’ll be supported by Chelsea Grin, 200 Stab Wounds, and Gates To Hell. It all wraps up with New England Metal Fest, which I’m happy to see return.
And then we have Full of Hell, with End, Inter Arma, and Wake. Those dates are in October and November, and I would love to get to at least one of these stops if at all possible. Tickets for that one are on sale now.
Oh shit, another one! Horrendous released the second advance single from Ontological Mysterium, titled “Cult of Shaad’oah”. Check out the lyric video for that here. And yes, on top of that they are also touring in July with special guests Penury… but unfortunately that’s over on the other side of the country. Alas.
Wrapping up, Polish metallers Scream Maker with their video for “See the Light”. Give it a watch below. Their new album, Land of Fire, drops on July 14 through Frontiers Music Srl. Alright, I’m outta here. Catch ya tomorrow.

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!

Holy shit a lot happened today.

And since this is my post, we’re going to start off with my favorite. The Ocean Collective unveiled a new track today, titled “Preboreal”. The lyric video for that track can be seen here. Not a whole lot of other information has emerged surrounding this, but it’s obvious something awesome is on the horizon.
Acid King are returning with a new album on March 24th, titled Beyond Vision, an effort that will be available through Blues Funeral Recordings. A sample of the new collection is streaming over at Revolver, specifically for “Destination Psych/Beyond Vision”.
Full of Hell and Primitive Man announced a 5-song collaborative release titled Suffocating Hallucination. That will be released on March 3rd through Closed Casket Activities, and the first single, “Rubble Home”, is available now.
The Black Dahlia Murder are returning to the stage for “The Verminous Remnant Tour 2023”, which runs from April 14th through May 26th. They’ll be joined by Terror, Frozen Soul, Fuming Mouth, and Phobophilic.
Closing out, we have another personal favorite. Insomnium debuted a new single, titled “The Witch Hunter”, with an accompanying music video. You can give that a watch below. That track, obviously, is taken from Anno 1696, an album set for a February 24th release through Century Media.
