BAZUndergroundUpdates CCXXXI
The middle of the week has finally arrived! The Underground Updates just as predictably arrive with it, so let us waste no time!
So, let’s see what’s out there…
UADA The tour is starting next month! Uada is heading out on A Decade of Reflective Divinations autumn tour alongside Ghost Bath and Cloak, for which you can check out the official tour trailer over here, and of course find additional information and tickets right over here!
IGNEA After a standout summer tour, Ukrainian melodic metal band Ignea is set to return to the UK and Europe next months as the main support for Eleine! Tickets are already on sale, so make sure you head over here to get yours to a show near you!
BLACK LION RECORDS The label continues with the clearing out sale, offering 50% off with the code blacklion50 so make sure you head over here right now to check out the selection!
NEUROT RECORDINGS The weekly segment of Pay What You Can is of course continuing over at Neurot Recordings, and this week’s album pick is Configuração Do Lamento by Deafkids! Head over here right now to claim your very own copy, and simply pay what you can!
WORMROT How about a nice hot cup of Singaporean Grindcore (in the form of Wormrot). The mighty Earache Records have just announced the forthcoming release of Left to Rot, a collection of EPs and rarities. Dropping on the 18th of October on limited vinyl and CD, pre-orders are now available from bandcamp or visit the UK westore here
TORPOR Bristol’s Torpor have been dishing out great slabs of sludge metal for over ten years now. The band has just added some t-shirts and bundles to their bandcamp page. This is a perfect moment to discover or reconnect with these great bastions of the UK sludge underground. Check out the band’s various vinyl and merch on offer here.
HYPERDONTIA And speaking of merch, Denmark’s death metal monsters Hyperdontia just added a barrel load of it to their bandcamp page with all sorts of festering goodies available. Get stuck in here.
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.

September is coming to an end, and the usual pumpkin-spice filled month of October is just around the corner… of course, many others prefer it as Spooktober, but for now let us simply bask in the glory of the fabulous offers and goodies out there made available to us so easily!
