It’s a never-ending cycle with our weekly Underground Updates, isn’t it?
So, let’s see what’s out there…
VESTIGE A new heartfelt single has been released from Vestige; a journey through their music, intricately showcasing their ability to create and evoke emotions which are not only universal, but also deeply personal! Taken from the upcoming album Janis, you can head right over here now to check out the new track, and of course over here to pre-order the upcoming album!
FUNERAL Weaving their sorrowful tapestry, Funeral has unveiled their harrowing new single My Own Grave! The first elegy from their upcoming album, Gospel of Bones, you can now head straight over here to check out the video to the new track, and of course over here to place your pre-order for the album!
VENDETTA RECORDS In order to make some space and make space in the warehouse, Vendetta Records has lowered prices on some of its releases, which will last for a month so make sure you have quick hands and head over here for Zmora by Bialywilk, over here for demo I and II by Nimbifer, here for Nimbifer´s Der böse Geist and of course over here for other special offers!
NEUROT RECORDS The weekly Pay What You Can segment over at Neurot Recordings continues as always, and this week’s album pick is A Grave Is a Grim Horse by Steve Von Till! Simply head over here to claim your copy and simply pay what you can!
CYNIC This year Cynic will be returning to Europe, igniting stages with their spectral presence on their Ascending Europe Tour 2024! Should this be something you want to attend, and we think that you do, you should head right over here to secure a ticket to a show near you!
MAST YEAR If sludgy noise rock tickles your pickle, check out Point of View, the new album by Baltimore’s Mast Year. You can check out the album in full via Grimoire Records here.
GAEREA The mysterious, masked atmospheric-black-metal band Gaerea have announced their next album (due 25th of October on Season of Mist). Coma is available to pre-order on a range of editions. Vinyl is already selling out, so check it out here. There are also two preview tracks for you to sink your teeth (or should that be ears) into. Also, check out the cool cover art.
CHAT PILE sure know how do blast you in the face with some pounding industrial-sludge brutality, but with just enough melody the sweeten the blow. Now you can also stock up on a batch of new merch from the band. Head over to the Flenser webstore on bandcamp here to stock up. And what’s more, the band have just announced their second album Cool World, due out 11th of October. Check out the preview track from that!
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.
