“Sacro Bosco” (“Sacred Grove”) is the starting point for Anna von Hausswolff’s new album “All Thoughts Fly”, incoming on Southern Lord on September 25th, 2020. Here in solo instrumental mode, the entire record consists of just one instrument, the pipe organ, and represents absolute liberation of the imagination.

Central US-based Chrome Waves has completed their second full-length record, “Where We Live”, confirming the album for release in late September. The cover art, track listing, a brief teaser, and more have been issued.

In July 2017 Kevin Godley - formerly of 10cc and Godley & Creme - posted an invitation on the site PledgeMusic: “Write and record with me”.

PledgeMusic was a platform for musicians to connect directly with fans who could pay for music in advance to support the creation of albums. Kevin’s project took the potential of this remote, socially distanced collaboration further.

Worcester, Massachusetts-based avant electronics project The Oracle will release its debut full-length debut “Hypogeum” this August, via Repose Records.
 
Inspired at once by the grandiosity of film scores and classical music, the bleakness of black metal, and minimalist ambient music, “Hypogeum” is dark and at times ritualistic with its themes and complimentary visuals touching upon the rise and fall of messiah-like figures and cult leaders.
 

Philip H. Anselmo’s En Minor will release its long-awaited debut full-length, “When the Cold Truth has Worn Its Miserable Welcome Out”, om September 4th, 2020, via Housecore Records.
 

“Reigning Cement”, an audio-visual project pairing a 100-page book of Jesse Draxler’s photography and collage work with a collection of music created by musicians handpicked by Draxler, arrives on September 4th, 2020, via Federal Prisoner.

In the midst of the forest, the floor is littered with monstrous heads and mythical figures, frozen in torturous combat or threatened by wild beasts. A dragon fights a dog and a wolf. A lion sinks its teeth into the fire-breathing monster’s chest. 
 

Metal Blade Records is proud to welcome France’s Déluge to its worldwide roster!

Déluge released their first full-length, “Æther”, in 2015 via Les Acteurs de l’ombre. Featuring 9 songs that combine ambient and modern black metal with post-hardcore tones, “Æther”’s sound can be compared to likes of Celeste, Amenra and Deafheaven. Their upcoming sophomore album - and Metal Blade Records debut - will continue down this sonic path with its tentative 2020 release.
