Sweden’s infernal five-some have postponed their UK and European tour: after a four year live absence, the death glam sensation Deathstars returned to the stage last summer, playing some of the world’s biggest festivals, and now they plan to come back with their UK and European tour in autumn/winter 2020.

Due to delays with their upcoming album recording process, the band has been forced to postpone the spring tour dates. All tickets purchased will be vaild for the new dates and venues.

Connecticut-based melodic death/doom outfit Fires In The Distance are proud to announce the release of their debut album, “Echoes of Deep November”. The album will see release on Friday, May 22nd, 2020.

The melancholic cover art for “Echoes of Deep November” was created by Caelan Stokkermans, who is known for his work with Soreption, Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index, Lorna Shore, and many more.

Finnish melancholic metal act Nicumo are about to release their third full length album. Album is titled “Inertia” and will be out on March 27th, 2020, through Inverse Records.

It is with a very heavy leaden heart that Cradle Of Filth must announce the mutual departure of keyboardist Lindsay Schoolcraft from amidst the band’s ranks. 

Lindsay has been with the band for the last 7 years and in that time has been privy to a massive resurgence both on record and live, with Cradle Of Filth undertaking some of the most prolific touring in the band’s 28-year history, a feat that has indelibly been both (ultimately) rewarding and understandably exhausting at the same time.

Uncovering the intensity and the metal inherent in non-metal, the avant-garde and anti-traditionalist inclinations of Finland’s Oranssi Pazuzu have always had transcendental goals at heart. Through the rabbit hole and out the other side to 2020 with the release of their fifth album “Mestarin Kynssi”, (“The Master’s Claw”).

British doom legends My Dying Bride are set to release their 13th studio album, “The Ghost of Orion”, on March 6th, 2020, via Nuclear Blast.

Today, the band have released a new single from the album titled “Tired of Tears”. Check out the new lyric video below.

The track has a particularly special meaning for frontman Aaron Stainthorpe, as he explains:

French post-black metal trio Aodon have signed with Willowtip Records and will release their sophomore album “11069” on March 27th, 2020.

The album will be available on CD digipak, vinyl LP, and digital formats.

Check out new single “Les Rayons” below.

Multi-instrumentalist/composer M-kha has taken Aodon to new heights with “11069”.The follow-up to 2016 debut album “Sharphood” is the full realization of the Aodon sound: Dark, Atmospheric, and Extreme!

From Martin Mendez, bassist of the ubiquitous Opeth comes White Stones, a solo death metal project. 

Recently, they announced that their debut album named “Kuarahy” (pronounced Kwa-Ra-Hee) will be released on March 13th and today, they offer their fans a first insight into the album with the first single “Worms”, that comes with a video! Watch the video below.

From Dead can dance-like tribal atmospheres to futuristic sci-fi soundscapes, from lush and cinematic passages to a harsh distortion and massive futuristic soundscapes, the founding member and guitarist of Swedish metal masters Dark Tranquillity, Niklas Sundin, has not feared any musical borders with his first public foray into his solo-project, Mitochondrial Sun.
