Quiet day around here apparently. Silver lining: the day job certainly needed it.

This is fun. Babymetal and Electric Callboy came together for a new single and video, titled “RATATATA”. They both have a busy festival season ahead of them, so be on the lookout if you happen to be pretty much anywhere but here.
Next up, a new track from Attila. A visualizer for “New Devil” is available now, a track that features Dickie Allen. They’re currently wrapping up a run with Born of Osiris before they embark on a few headlining dates.
This one was making the rounds today, and I’m sure for good reason. Octoploid is releasing Beyond The Aeons on July 5 through Reigning Phoenix Music, and today they premiered “The Dawns in Nothingness” from that effort.
Swedish heavy rockers The Hellacopters shared their first new material since 2022, a new track titled “Stay With You”. That will also be released as a 7″ single through Lightning Records, with a cover of “Fire In Cairo” (The Cure) on the B-side.
And closing out, the new video from Noroth for “Adorned in Rotting Flesh”, which can be seen below. The Sacrificial Solace LP arrives on June 7 through Carbonized Records.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”

Gonna go explore some canyons for a bit after this, so I’ll catch everyone later next week.

American death metal band Pathology have signed on with Agonia Records for the release of their 12th album. Sounds like that’s coming our way next year.
Black metal project Këkht Aräkh released a new single titled “Wanderer”, the first new material since 2021’s Pale Swordsman. Released in partnership with Sacred Bones Records, the video for that one can be seen here.
Switching gears completely, we have 80s-inspired glam metal unit Cobra Spell. The third single from 666, “Warrior From Hell”, can be seen and heard here. Their debut album is out this Friday through Napalm Records.
Imperial Triumphant gave us a video for a Wayne Shorter cover, “Nefertiti”. Check it out here. That’s the fifth and final offering in that series of covers.
And to see myself out, we have the new video from The Hellacopters for “The Electric Index Eel (Revisited)”. A physical reissue of Grande Rock, originally a 1999 release, is coming on February 16 through Nuclear Blast.
