BAZUndergroundUpdates CCXXIX
One third through September already! Our writers Julia Katrin and Tom Osman are of course stoked to be back once again with a new instalment of the Underground Updates, and they hope you are too!
So, let’s see what’s out there…
SATANATH RECORDS/STELLA DARKSPACE Alright so, there is the first for everything, right? We have never reported something like this before, however, it’s very exciting! Stella Darkspace will be performing an unforgettable metal-esque dance at some Satanath Records events in October, including the Batumi Fest in Georgia, and Yerevan Fest in Armenia! If you are not entirely sure what Stella does, you can head over here to check her out on Instagram, and of course over here, here and here to get some tickets to a show!
PIG DESTROYER So some live shows are coming up for Pig Destroyer, so to celebrate that of course you should head over here to check out the Bandcamp merch store, in order to dress yourself up before heading to one of these shows in the coming months!
NEUROT RECORDINGS And yet again, music will get us through! The never-ending awesome instalment of Pay What You Can over at Neurot Recordings continues, and this week’s album pick is Coward by Made Out of Babies! Head over here right now to claim your very own copy, and simply pay what you can!
VEILBURNER YES! Anonymous, extreme metal duo Veilburner are back. Transcending Obscurity has announced the band’s follow up to 2022s VLBRNR, so get ready for another violent slab of surrealistic, twisted, sci-fi monstrousness. The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom will be released on November 17th. In the meantime you can listen to two preview tracks here (where you can also pre-order the album alongside a ton of merch). If you’d like to order direct from the label, there are links in the Online Stores section below for EU and North American customers.
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.
