Could it be true? Is it really Tuesday again? Surely there is no rest for the wicket as our writers Julia Katrin and Tom Osman work tirelessly to bring you a new instalment of The Underground Updates!

Head over to the channel here to check out the video, and of course over here to place your pre order for a fitting red vinyl!
THE WAKEDEAD GATHERING Judging from the preview track of The Wakedead Gathering’s forthcoming album Parallaxiom, listeners are going to be treated to a giant riff fest. As soon as the vocals kick in you’ll know you’re listening to death metal, but there seems to be plenty more in store. The album will be out on I, Voidhanger Records on the 15th of July. Listen here and pre-order the album.
PHOBOPHILIC Sounds like someone’s been listening to Demilich and when is that ever a bad thing? Enveloping Absurdity — the newly announced forthcoming album by North Dakota’s Phobophilic — will be released on 1st September on Prosthetic Records. In the meantime, you can enjoy some meaty, rifftastic death metal via the album’s preview track here — where you can pre-order the album.
LIGHT DWELLER US label Total Dissonance Worship stay true to their name with some mighty dissonant death metal in the form of Lucid Offering — the forthcoming album by Light Dweller. There’s a mean combination of technicality, heaviness and mind-bending… well dissonance here. Check out the preview tracks here and pre-order the album due on 21st June.
Having to pay gigantic sums for international postage is a real gear grinder. While it’s our default setting to link Bandcamp pages in the case of new and pre-releases, we thought it would be helpful to add some online stores that might provide a useful alternative. So if you see a release you fancy, but it’s being sold in a far off land and you don’t want to fork out on exorbitant shipping, see if any of the links below can remedy the situation.
