Make Them Suffer so predstavili nov single Epitaph, ki se zvokovno delno vrača k njihovim začetkom.

Progresivna death metal zasedba The Monolith Deathcult je minuli petek izdala deveti album The Demon Who Makes Trophies of Men.

Sporočamo, da je umrl Dennis Cornelius, vokalist in kitarist doom metalcev Memory Driven. Naj počiva v miru. Izjava banda:

»It is with indescribable melancholy that words cannot express in which I make this announcement. Dennis Cornelius, our long time musical brother, in this band, and in life, has passed away. We cannot begin to process this immense loss, as we just send love and prayers to his family and loved ones. Thank you for so many years of such passionate and inspirational music. It has been such an honor to be a part of this journey with you. Thank you sooooo much for sharing that with us all, Dennis. You and Jyme are together again. We love you, Dennis, our brother.«

Nemška metalcore/melodic groove metal zasedba z elementi industriala Cypecore je objavila videospot za single Make Me Real.

Lloyd Hektoen, bolj poznan pod psevdonimom Mannevond (Koldbrann), se je pridružil švedski black metal zasedbi Craft.

»Today we officially welcome Mannevond as the new lead vocalist of Craft! Mannevond should be a familiar face to most, as he is the devestating voice for our brothers in Koldbrann as well – and we are extremely satisfied that he has agreed to join the chaos and destruction that is Craft. Mannevond will make his live debut with us in July at Metal Theatre Festival in Kalmar and has already begun recording vocals for the new album.

The next era has begun…«

Lansko leto je enočlanska black metal zasedba Blackbraid, ki svojo inspiracijo išče v zgodbah ameriških staroselcev, izdala album Blackbraid II. Po krajšem premoru pa zdaj idejni vodja Sgah’gahsowáh sporoča, da je že začel delo z novim albumom, ki bo nosil ime Blackbraid III. Podrobnosti za zdaj še ostajajo skrivnost. Celotno izjavo Sgah’gahsowáha pa lahko preberete spodaj:

»I realize it has been several weeks since I posted on this account which is unusual for me. Rest assured the silence is a temporary but necessary one. The solitude of winter has always been an integral part of my writing and this year is no different.

That being said it should not surprise you that I have recently begun work on a third full length, Blackbraid III. The details of this release are still largely unknown and there is much work to be done in the coming months, just know that my lack of social media presence during the writing process is a necessary one.

As the winter wanes on I will make more updates on the new album as the process progresses. As always, thank you all for your endless support, I promise this is only the beginning.«
