Carnation Releases New Music Video
Belgian death metal outfit Carnation has uploaded a new music video for the song, "Iron Discipline." You can check it out below. The song is featured on the band's forthcoming new album, "Where Death Lies," which is scheduled to be released on September 18th through Season Of Mist.
Frontman Simon Duson comments: " "With 'Iron Discipline,' we unleash our second creation from the upcoming 'Where Death Lies' full-length. 'Iron Discipline' is the opening track of the album, and it takes you straight into the action. It showcases some of the most groove-oriented parts on the record, culminating into a piece that is bursting with power and heaviness. Older fans of the band should definitely find what they are looking for on this track.'Where Death Lies' in its entirety contains quite some variance. It is the result of our effort to write a balanced record with elements that both defined and refined Carnation. We hope this second step towards the release has peaked your interest even more."

Spellbook Reveals New Album Details
Vintage proto-metal purveyors, SpellBook, have released a lyric video for "Amulet," featured on their upcoming debut album, "Magick & Michief." Watch the clip below.
Cruz Del Sur Music will release "Magick & Mischief" on September 25 in CD, vinyl, and digital formats. Formerly known as Witch Hazel, SpellBook marries Black Sabbath, Pentagram and progressive rock for seven songs of entrancing classic metal.
During the writing process for what would eventually become "Magick & Mischief," the members of York, Pennsylvania vintage proto-metal purveyors Witch Hazel realized there was no better time than the present to change their name. The idea had long rested on their mind, but the risks in changing a band’s name are numerous, if not painfully obvious. After all, since their 2007 formation, Witch Hazel independently released three studio albums, "Forsaken Remedies" (2012), "Nocturnity" (2015) and "Otherwordly" (2018), and had already generated buzz in the doom metal underground. But, with the confidence that the material they created for "Magick & Mischief" was the strongest of their career, Witch Hazel reached back into their past for the song "The Spellbook" from Forsaken Remedies and rebranded themselves SpellBook. Soon, a deal with Cruz Del Sur Music was signed, and the band started a new chapter that begins with the release of Magick & Mischief. More...

Alestorm on "Big Ship Little Ship":
"Oh wow! We've all been stuck at home and incredibly bored since the release of our latest album 'Curse of the Crystal Coconut', so we thought we'd make a fun little 'home video' for y'all, to celebrate the digital release of our two bonus tracks 'Big Ship Little Ship' and 'Bassline Junkie'. We even got the wonderful Patty Gurdy involved, since this song features a massive hurdy gurdy melody that she played on the record.
