Frontman Matt Pike has provided a statement:
“Dear Friends and fans,

Italian heavy metallers Scala Mercalli have finished mixing their new album “Indipendence” at Alpha Omega Studio’s by Alex Azzali. The album is set to be released on January 25th, 2019.

Today the band unleashes a new video for “Be Strong”, taken from “Indipendence”, watch the video below.

Swedish metalists Evil Conspiracy have released another potent taster from their forthcoming album “Evil Comes”, set for release worldwide via Sliptrick Records on February 19th, 2019.

The song is called “Dogs Ov War” and sounds exactly as it reads, with it’s balls very firmly fixed to the wall. Check out the brand new official video below.

2018 will go down in the history as an important year for Korpiklaani. The band celebrated its 15th anniversary, released their 10th album “Kulkija” and finally wrapped up the year with a successful North American tour in December.
 

2018 was an exciting year for Doro, having released her very successful debut double album “Forever Warriors, Forever United” on top of completing the first leg of her world tour, which included some killer performances in the UK - at Bloodstock Festival straight after Judas Priest plus some hugely popular shows with Saxon.

Hailing from the cold, unforgiving wastelands of Hollywood, California, Ashen Horde is a two-piece band that strives to embrace a multitude of extreme metal sub-genres, without being bound to any one of them. Drawing influence from metal’s crème de le extreme, from Enslaved and Devin Townsend to Ihsahn and Opeth, Ashen Horde (aka Trevor Portz and Stevie Boiser [Vale of Phath, Inferi]), may have a sound rooted in death and black metal, but can’t truly be called either.

Long running Minnesota Death/Doom band Cold Colours celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2019 with the February 22nd, 2019, release of fifth full-length album “Northernmost”.

In recognition of the winter solstice, the album’s first blast of freezing wind comes in the form of a lyric video for new track “Terminal Winter”.

Check out the lyric video for “Terminal Winter” below.

This February, Ripple Music will blaze a trail into the realm of progressive doom with the signing of veteran San Franciscan metallers, The Ghost Next Door.
 
Founded by Gary Wendt, singer and former student of legend Joe Satriani, the idea for The Ghost Next Door grew out of the discovery of an abandoned acoustic guitar and a name inspired by a nearby haunted house.
 

Ripple Music is thrilled to announce the release of “Awakened from the Tomb...”, the debut album from fledgling young doom raiders, Witchers Creed.
 

Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive have announced a massive co-headline tour, dubbed “Collapse the World.” The trek will take place in Spring 2019, kicking off on April 18 in San Francisco and running through May 16 in Milwaukee. After The Burial will be in the lineup as support and the tour will be sponsored by Revolver. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, December 21 at 10am local time.
