Enslaved are preparing for the final act of their Cinematic Summer Tour - now due to take place on Thursday 1st of October at 7pm BST / 8pm CEST.

This virtual release event “Utgard - The Journey Within” is named after their upcoming studio album “Utgard” (out on October 2nd), from which they’ll be performing several tracks for the first time ever.

Italian melodic death metal combo Scream3days proudly announce that their album “Rhesus Negative” will be out on September 25th, 2020, via Wormholedeath / The Orchard / Aural Music Group worldwide. 

The band stated:

Primordial continue to promote their highly acclaimed latest studio album, “Exile Amongst the Ruins”, which was released worldwide, via Metal Blade Records, in 2018.

The band will therefore be embarking on a next, re-scheduled third leg of the “Heathen Crusade” across Europe in April and have furthermore confirmed various international festival appearances for 2021, also in celebration of Primordial’s 30th Anniversary since inception in 1991. Below are the dates announced so far.

Grammy-nominated metal band Trivium will follow up last month’s massively successful global concert event, “A Light Or A Distant Mirror”, which took place at Full Sail University, with another “can’t miss” performance. This show, dubbed “The Deepest Cuts”, will be markedly different from but just as thrilling as its predecessor.

Hard-to-pigeonhole black metal-centered outfit Lord Almighty is proud to announce their upcoming second album, “Wither”. Set for release on Friday, October 16th, 2020. It is the follow up to the group’s 2015 debut album, “Paths”.

The Boston-based group has been active since 2013 and continues to craft a unique crushing mix of black metal blasts and rock and roll melodics that is stylistically ever-evolving into the present. Cover art for “Wither” was handled by Adam O’ Day. 

Seasoned technical melodic death metal favorites Inferi are proud to announce their upcoming EP, “Of Sunless Realms”. The 5-song effort will be released on October 9th, 2020, via The Artisan Era.

It is the follow up to the group's 2019 re-worked prior album, “The End of an Era | Rebirth”, and the next step in the group's continual evolution following their beloved 2018 full-length, “Revenant”. 

Swedish Melodic Death Metal formation The Unguided break down barriers with their upcoming long player, “Father Shadow”, to be released on October 9th, 2020, via Napalm Records.

Canadian melodic power metal quartet Unleash The Archers will release their masterful fifth full-length concept album, “Abyss”, out August 21st, 2020, via Napalm Records. With “Abyss”, the band re-cements themselves as an unequalled, undeniable metallic force with their strongest album to date!

Ever prolific and consistently ferocious, Russian metal stalwarts Second To Sun will release new album “Leviathan” on September 29th, 2020.

The follow-up to 2019’s raging “Legacy”, itself a game changer, the new album finds the band firing on all cylinders!
