BAZUndergroundUpdates CCLIII

This week we will keep this short and simple!
So, let’s see what’s out there…

TRIBULATION The spring North American tour has been announced for Tribulation! While co-headlining with Unto Others from May 1st-12th, headlining with support from Early Moods from May 14th-25th, all dates also include direct support from Final Gasp with additional support from Unreqvited! What a treat this truly is, and tickets are already available over here!

EVERLASTING SPEW RECORDS There is a huge sale going on over at Everlasting Spew Records, as the label needs the space! Head over here for 2500 articles of mail order and over here for digital and enjoy the 25% off!


SCOUR Extreme-metal supergroup Scour have just released their debut full-length record via Nuclear Blast and Housecore Records. Featuring members of Pantera, Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Pig Destroyer Gold is a menacing, black-metal-driven beast. Listen to the album in full, or buy a copy here.


IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT New York’s avant-garde metal trio Imperial Triumphant will release their latest boundary-pushing album Goldstar via Century Media on the 21st of March. Taking inspiration from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, you can strap in for a dissonant, extreme metal voyage with three tracks from the album available to listen to here. Head over here for vinyl and CD pre-orders.


DEAD CHASM Never shy of a special edition or two Transcending Obscurity have just announced Spectral Tyranny (released 16th of May), the latest EP from Italian death-metal trio Dead Chasm. As well as being available to pre-order on limited 10” vinyl, there are bundles, merch and all sorts coinciding with the release to be had. Check them all out here and listen to the preview track.

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.
