Austin, Texas-based melodic death-doom metal unit Hinayana have been turning heads in the metal scene since their formation in 2014, starting out as a one-man band spearheaded by frontman Casey Hurd.

Now, after releasing their crushing 2018 full-length “Order Divine” and subsequently securing the attention of Napalm Records, Hinayana are poised to release their next musical offering – the crushing “Death of the Cosmic” EP – set for release on August 28th, 2020.
 

Finland’s black metal anti-traditionalists Oranssi Pazuzu will finally return to the stage in 2021, following the unfortunate cancellation of their tour for autumn of this year.

After recently releasing their new album “Mestarin Kynssi” and contorting the minds of listeners with their psychic and colourful black metal that knows no boundaries, the Finns announce new tour dates for April and May. Their intense ride will be supported by Brazil’s Deafkids and Norway’s Sturle Dagsland.

The livestream will take place this coming Friday, July 3rd at 8:00 PM CEST/2:00 PM EDT/11:00 AM PDT. 

The Danish metal act Defecto’s dive into the metal scene has been both successful and hectic. Just a year after the release of their debut, they were offered supporting slots for both Metallica and Rammstein.
