Been listening to a lot of Paradise Lost today. Just thought you should know.

Check out this live performance from The Devil’s Trade for “Dead Sister”, a new track taken from The Call of the Iron Peak. That album is out now through Season of Mist, and I assure you it is quite good.
Varathron are streaming the 30th anniversary live album Glorification Under The Latin Moon a day before it’s release, just in case you were waiting anxiously for that one.
King Diamond will release The Dark Sides on CD and LP formats on October 30th. Originally released in 1988, the collection features five tracks and an outro. You know what to do.
And we’ll tie this up with a new video from Boundaries for “Behind the Bend”. Your Receding Warmth drops on November 13th through Unbeaten Records.

“She spoke to me like hope was real, that peace was something I could feel.”

Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister will have his story shared as a biopic, which we should all be excited for. Depending on how things play out, it looks like production could start early next year.
I’m pretty much fed up with the world, so I’m going to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to invest in this Black Sabbath shirt. Proceeds go directly to Black Live Matter, so make it happen.
Ihsahn and Trivium‘s Matt Heafy are coming together for a black metal project titled Mrityu, which I think most of us already knew. Well, we have a real update from the studio to share today.
Varathron has announced a new live album, Glorification Under The Latin Moon, will drop on September 25th through Agonia Records. The album features footage from their 30th anniversary tour.
And we’ll close with a new music video from Kaamos Warriors for “Kuilu”. Their next album, titled Kirous, will be out sometime later this year.

Had the unfortunate and tired conversation over the weekend regarding rock/metal being dead. My first reaction was to belly laugh so hard I thought my rib cage was going to split wide open and my second was to proceed in regaling these folks with tales of all the ridiculously killer albums that have been released since 2018 began, all of which fell on skewed ears. But I also directed them to this very website along with a choice few others and politely asked them to get back to me after some much needed research. We’ll see if they oblige and I’ll update you if so but don’t hold your breath, I’m not holding mine. Anyway, another week is upon us which means we’ve got another full playlist of stuff that grabbed our attention last week and hopefully it’ll grab yours as well. Subscribe to our YouTube channel here and dive in below. Rock/metal is far from dead, it lives and breathes in all of us. Cheers to you and have a great week. Continue reading →
