US doomers all Pallbearer are touring their homeland in the next few months.  Check out the dates below.

​Denver, CO (USA) blackened death metal horde Martriden have posted a new lyric video for the title track off their most recent album 'Cold And Silence' unleashed during November 2015 to follow their previous releases 2010's 'Encounter The Monolith' and 2007's 'The Unsettling Dark' (Candlelight Records).

The track, which is also available for free download (click here) is one of seven off the full length that deals with each telling a story and theme about the insignificance of human life compared to the vast entirety of the universe.

Always in for a little joke, French rockers Flayed have just released a new video of them 'covering' the massive hit 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns 'n Roses.  Well, 'covered' might not be exactly true, this simply is an hilarious parody.  Check it out...

Minnesota's INVIDIOSUS are pleased to release their brand new single Neurotic Misery. The song is a five minute track in the vein of classic death metal bands such as Obituary, Deicide and Entombed. The track was mixed and mastered by Joel Grind.

The band said the following about the track:"Neurotic Misery is themed around the struggles everyone faces when life kicks them in the guts, the way society perceives mental illnesses, and the different manifestations of depression, anxiety and anger that every human being experiences throughout their life. Death metal bands have always been known to write about destruction, carnage, and the brutal side of human nature, but Invidiosus aims to examine the raw, emotional, often-times irrational side of the human brain... Because after all, it's something every single one of us can relate to, at some point or another."

The single can be streamed or downloaded for free via theInvidiosus Bandcamp

Norwegian Heavy Metal band Fear Theories have released a new Official Lyric Video for their Single 'My Own Worst Enemy' taken from their upcoming debut full length album "The Predator".

UK based darkwave / shoegaze (let's just call it 'darkgaze') duo The KVB have released a new video for the track 'In Deep'.  The video was shot in a cold and gloomy Berlin (Germany) in January.  The song comes from the upcoming album 'Of Desire'. The band is also touring at the moment.  You can find the dates on their facebook page, or you can click here

Drone lords Sunn O))) are gearing up to cover the world in low frequency vibrations again, this time in order to promote their 2015 album 'Kannon'.  The touring lineup for these shows will include founding members Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley, as well as longtime members Attila Csihar, Tos Nieuwenhuizen, and Steve Moore (Earth, Stebmo).
