CANTO: Satan, Archspire, Strigoi, and More

Archspire 2021

This week is absolutely destroying me. Also, tours are getting canceled again. That sucks.

  • Archspire have optimistically announced a new tour through North America with Entheos, Inferi, and Vulvodynia. That kicks off on April 13th, and tickets can be found here.
  • Couple of Season of Mist happenings to mention tonight. Strigoi have signed on with the label, and are preparing a new album for 2022. It will be titled Viscera, and you know we’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.
  • Nekromant released a new video for “The Woods”, a track taken from Temple Of Haal, an album I had a good time with a few weeks ago. Haven’t heard it yet? It’s out now through Despotz Records and you can check it out here.
  • This is interesting. Amaranthe unveiled a music video for “PvP”, a track used for E-Sports Championships. Give it a watch.
  • Closing with a new video from Satan feels… appropriate. Check out the clip for “Into the Mouth of Eternity” below. That one is taken from 2018’s Cruel Magic, which is available here.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”

Initial Descent: September 12 – 18, 2021

Carcass

Another week, another unending set of problems. Yep, that simple folks. Anyway, new metal time which means it’s finally CARCASS week. Whether you fell off long ago or keep on keeping on, Carcass keep doing their thing and this week they’re, again, doing it extremely well as they travel further along the melodi-carcass path. Plus, who doesn’t need some fun in their death metal these days? Rhetorical question of course, not in my bucket to care who does and who doesn’t. For a twofer of melodic death metal, we’ve got the latest from Insomnium which “good” is understood automatically, how good? Find out. Then we’ve got some brutalicious death metal from Vulvodynia and some wicked deathgrind from Dickless Tracy. Last but not least are the remainder of releases hiding out below these top four. Go. Do it.

Good morning and welcome to another Saturday morning mixtape. We’re full to bursting with a bunch of new singles this week, including tracks from two new Gilead Media releases, Succumb, Every Time I Die, and…god this is hard to even type…an Archspire song I really, actually like. I know, it surprised me too. Check all that and more out below.
