No Clean Singing premiered two tracks from the upcoming 4 Doors to Death II split, from Nucleus and Fetid Zombie (both death from the USA). Nightwish (symphonic from Finland) released a new song with the annoucement that they're partnering with a charity called World Land Trust. As the closing of their double album, this is more an outro thing than an actual song, but it's worth checking out.
We're still in trailer season. Here's a teaser for the new Paradise Lost (doom/death/gothic from the UK - I've heard the whole thing and I'm super enthousiastic!), Runespell & Forest Mysticism split (both black from Australia).
Next week
I'm looking forward to next week because of: Sweven, Myrkur and Malokarpatan.
Non-metal album of the week: Snarky Puppy - Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Have a great weekend, wash your hands, stay safe - Peter.
