#BAZUndergroundUpdates CLXIII

Alright, one of our writers was a little late to the party and this week´s The Underground Updates is therefore running a tad behind, so let’s keep this short and simple!

So, let’s see what’s out there…

NEONFLY UK alternative metallers NeonFly have now announced a string of tour dates supporting Escape the Fate, and you can head right over here to check out the places, dates and tickets!

NEUROT RECORDINGS And the trek continues with this special one! Neurot Recordings continues to bring us their weekly Pay What You Can segment, and this week’s album pick is Trophy by Made Out Of Babies! Head over here to claim your copy, and simply pay what you can!

EVERLASTING SPEW RECORDS The good people over at Everlasting Spew Records have temporarily activated a Bandcamp campaign in which all digital releases (excluding 2023 releases) are being offered to us with 50% off until June 4th! Head over here now to check out the selection!

FIADH PRODUCTIONS Some major hoopla must be going on over at Fiadh Productions as you can now head over here, check the selection, and use the code IOSIN in order to get a 25% discount on all items! How about heading over there and help make some space for new releases hmm?

MESARTHIM Atmospheric black metal act Mesarthim has a new double album of intergalactic sounds called Arrival. The album is out now on Italy’s Avantgarde Music. You can listen in full here where there are a number of vinyl options to choose from.

OLKOTH Fans of Nile, Hate Eternal, Hideous Divinity, and Vitriol are invited to step this way for At the Eye of Chaos — the debut album of brutal death metal by Olkoth. The album is out now on Italy’s Everlasting Spew Records and available on CD and cassette. There’s also a t-shirt to promote the album and digital option.

SUTEKH HEXEN & FUNERARY CALL Black power ambient act Sutekh Hexen has teamed up with Canadian artist Funerary Call for a double album of auditory nightmares. P​:​R​:​I​:​S​:​M will be co-released by Sentient Ruin Laboratories and Cyclic Law on the 14th of July. US customers can listen to a preview track and pre-order the album on vinyl or cassette here; European customers follow this link.

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.
