CANTO: Unearth, Hangman’s Chair, Veil Of Maya, and More

This Tottenham/Milan Champions League finish is bananas.

Unearth have announced some North American dates with Upon A Burning Body and 156/Silence, kicking off May 4 in Lubbock, Texas. Tickets go on sale this coming Friday. That run, of course, will be in support of The Wretched; The Ruinous, which drops on May 5 through Century Media.
French doom metal project Hangman’s Chair revealed a previously unreleased track from Loner, and as a result it’s now a new single, titled “Spleenwise”. Give it a listen here. That album dropped early in 2022 through Nuclear Blast. Finally, if you happen to be across the Atlantic, they’re on tour with Amenra, Der Weg einer Freiheit, and Igorrr. Which is, frankly, incredible.
Veil Of Maya announced details surrounding their first album in over half a decade. That effort, [m]other, will be out through Sumerian Records on May 12. Check out the brand new track, “Red Fur”, here. They’re also on tour in April and May with Avatar and Orbit Culture.
Let’s make tours a theme today. Currents are on the road with Like Moths to Flames and a few other bands I’m too lazy to type out this coming May and June. Tickets go on sale, you guessed it, this coming Friday. Oh, and The Death We Seek is out May 5 through SharpTone Records.
Alright, it’s time to wrap this up. Here’s some folk metal for ya. Valensorow have a new video for “The Bird and The Bear”, which you can watch below. It’s got puppets. Shorestank is out on April 7.

CANTO: Sólstafir, Like Moths to Flames, Veil of Maya, and More

October 6, 2021October 6, 2021CoreyLeave a comment

This week is starting to taper off, and I’m really excited about it.

So this sounds really freaking cool. Sólstafir and Vreid are teaming up for a very unique concert stream, scheduled for October 15th and taking place on the mountaintops of Iceland and Norway. It’s scheduled for 3:00 PM EST, and you can tune in here.
This is a Europe thing I can’t participate in, but for those that can… I’m jealous. Arcturus and Iotunn have a run of shows planned in January and February of next year. Having seen Arcturus live once before, I would love to do that again someday in a not-MDF setting.
Monuments released the first single off of their upcoming new album, the name of which either does not exist yet or I simply can’t find. Anyway, that will be out sometime in 2022, and the clip for “Lavos” can be seen here.
Like Moths to Flames have announced a new EP, Pure Like Porcelain, which will be out on November 5th through UNFD. Check out the new track, “The Preservation of Hate”, right here.
And we’ll wrap up with the new video from Veil of Maya for “Outrun”. That new single is available through Sumerian Records. They’re also on tour throughout October, if you’re interested in that.

CANTO: Sumerian Records 10 Year Tour, Iron Maiden Christmas Cards, and More!

Sumerian-records-10-year-tour

There were a lot of band realignments today. Or, well, people that just left their bands and have yet to be replaced. It’s been fun.

First up, and best up, is Emmure! Literally every singe member left except Frankie Palmeri, who vows to continue with the band. Good. Luck. Bro.
Meanwhile in Downfall of Gaia Land, the band has split with founding guitarist Peter Wolff. A replacement has yet to be announced.
Ok, moving on. Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, and After the Burial will be leading the charge in Sumerian Records 10 Year Tour. I’m skipping.
And one more tour. Puscifer will be hitting North America in the early stages of 2016. Shows all over the damn place, so if that’s your thing, go for it.
Finally, in case you were in need of a Christmas card idea, Iron Maiden is here to help.

CANTO: Housecore Horror Festival 2015, Ozzy and Bill Ward Make Nice (Kinda), and More

Hey, everyone. Reporting from Baltimore today, getting pumped for the first night of MDF. Needless to say I’m excited. Let’s see what else is going on out there:

Housecore Horror Festival 2015 has released its first round of bands. There are some good ones… including the likes of Suffocation, YOB, and Eyehategod.
Ozzy Osbourne and Bill Ward were able to put aside their differences briefly in order to accept a Lifetime Achievement award at this year’s Ivor Novello Awards.
Album sales from the week that was. Veil of Maya had their best debut yet. Not a whole lot else.
Ronnie James Dio passed away five years ago this past weekend. In honor, his wife, Wendy, Eddie Money, and more paid tribute.
Secrets of the Sky‘s new album, Pathway, will be discussed in full here tomorrow. Until then, however, check out their new music video for “Eternal Wolves”:

That’s it. I’m out.

Canto: Updates from Lindemann, Lamb of God, Thy Art is Murder, and More!

Hello. It’s Friday. Let’s get weird.

Obviously, we’re all a little curious about Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann‘s new project, Lindemann. Some further details emerged today, as it turns out Carach Angren keyboardist Ardek will be contributing orchestral arrangements.
Well, we finally have some legitimate evidence that a new Lamb of God record is coming in the near future. And by “near future” I mean “probably 2016.” Better than nothing, I guess.
Here’s a new tour alert for your Friday: Veil of Maya, Revocation, Oceano and others will be hitting the road together in May and June. That could be fun…for people other than me.
Thy Art is Murder almost wanted to make noise with the cover of their upcoming album, Holy War. It looks innocent enough now…but it almost featured a suicide bomber. That probably wouldn’t have gone over well.
Finally, because it’s Friday, you’re getting a David Hasselhoff music video. Because it’s metal as all hell.
