I skipped this yesterday because I was in Boston all day for a shoot. I also had food poisoning. It was weird.

• Arch / Matheos have released details behind a new album titled Winter Ethereal, scheduled for released on May 10th through Metal Blade. Better yet, you can hear a new single right now. It’s called “Straight and Narrow”. It is, as Chris put it, an embarrassment of riches.
• Hey, a cool festival announcement! Om, The Obsessed, and Wovenhand are all scheduled to perform at the inaugural Monolith on the Mesa festival. The event takes place May 16th (pre-show) to May 18th in Taos, New Mexico at Taos Mesa Brewing. Freaking… cool, man.
•  Updates from Memphis May Fire. First off, summer 2019 tour plans, which will include performances on the second stage of the just-announced Disrupt Festival, which overlaps a bit with the Warped Tour 25th Anniversary weekend shows. Oh, they also dropped a new video for “Heavy is the Weight”.
• Let’s wrap things up with a little tease. What could this possibly mean? New Rammstein coming our way on Thursday? A new song… new album details? ALL OF IT? You decide.

“Ein Bier… bitte.”
