Legendary dutch death metallers Pestilence have parted ways with drummer Septimiu Harsan due to personal and professional matters, partly related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The band already found a replacement in Michiel van der Plicht (live drummer for countrymen Carach Angren), with whom Pestilence will record their upcoming album “Exitivm”, tentatively slated for release later this year on Agonia Records.

The eclectic Exile On Mainstream welcomes their dear friends in Hanover, Germany-based Might to the label’s family, and is preparing to release the band’s eponymous debut album in July. The cover art, track listing, preorders, and a brief teaser for “Might” have been issued.

Make Them Suffer have just shared their new song “Soul Decay”. Listen to it below.

“"Soul Decay" is about watching someone you know fall back into the same bad habits over and over, unaware that they themselves are the root of their own problems”, explains singer Sean Harmanis. “I believe this is a message we all need to hear sometimes. Being able to accept responsibility for our own mistakes keeps us humble”.

Sweden’s most creative and exciting export, Avatar, debuted the official music video for their new track “Silence in the Age of Apes”, which serves as the lead single from their highly anticipated eighth full-length, “Hunter Gatherer”, due out on August 7th, 2020, via Entertainment One (eOne).
