New Cruciamentum up for preorder from Profound Lore: https://cruciamentum.bandcamp.com/album/obsidian-refractions https://profoundlorerecords.merchtable.com/pre-orders/cruciamentum-obsidian-refractions-vinyl-lp

Pain of Truth release variant with alt cover /99. Only a few left. https://dazestyle.bandcamp.com/album/not-through-blood

I just realized there's a new Blood Incantation EP up for preorder. One new actual song; it better be a good one. Looks like four variants are available: 2000 clear via Century Media 1200 silver ("band color") via Evil Greed ? gold via Nuclear Blast Europe retail black

I checked this out because I generally dig the labels involved, but the clean vocals in the chorus absolutely killed any interest I had lol. It's very curious how, amid the current wave of metalcore revival bands, you can see the same sort of musical evolution play out as in the late 90s/ early 2000s. There's some excellent metallic hardcore bands like Hands of God or Moral Law. There's tripped down, head-bobbing metalcore from Adrienne, one of my absolute favorite right now. There's also really fun melodic metalcore , like Memento. or Balmora, just raw and hardcore enough to avoid falling into the trap of becoming one of 10,000 technically much more proficient melodic death metal bands. And then bands like A Mourning Star and now Cauldron are infusing their music with generic, sugary sensitive-boy choruses, which to me is honestly just super disappointing.

Thanks!

HMU if you have a copy you might consider selling.

New Berthold City from War Records: https://war-rec.com/collections/records

Ugh been waiting for this reissue and missed the /250s. Another year I guess.

Where are the Bane exclusives available? Only at shows?

Northern Scene and Best Life have their own cloudy variants /200, Daze has a /300 and Rev has their yellow /500. Plus tapes from SOH.

Jinx.

I set myself an alarm and realized 58 minutes too late that the time difference from EST to GMT is the usual 5 hours, and not 4, as the first Google search result would have me believe. Kinda bummed, but I did recently find both 7"s at a very reasonable price so am ok with missing out on this. Nice package though. Would've been cool to have.

I'd been on the fence about the Starland show, and now I'm not anymore. They sure know how to push an old man's buttons.

Damn. I was about to post about the New Spectral Voice/ Undergang split from Dark Descent, which I grabbed earlier while feeding my 2-year-old lunch with the other hand, but apparently it's already sold out, at least on Bandcamp and on darkdescent.com. They tend to repress liberally though, so if you missed it you'll probably get another opportunity eventually. EDIT: Still available from Extremley Rotten, who are actually responsible for putting it out: https://extremelyrottenprod.com/product/erp111-spectral-voice-undergang-split-lp-black-vinyl/

Damn, missed it. Oh well.

Council has preorders live for two new discographies of relatively little-known 90s emocore/ hardcore bands, Vine and Cleons Down (two variants /250 each): https://councilrecords.com/

Ah ok, that's reassuring. Thanks.
