Formed in Los Angeles in 2013, 3TEETH quickly became one of the city’s rising stars in both the industrial and metal scenes. Its self-titled debut, released on Toronto’s Artoffact Records, blazed up the charts after Terrorizer Magazine launched a full stream of it last spring. The album peaked at #8 on the iTunes Electronic Music chart, and pre-orders of a limited edition splatter vinyl, which came with a tooth-shaped USB full of remixes and images, sold out quickly.
The End Records and Music For Nations are pleased to announce the release of Opeth’s Deliverance & Damnation double album to celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary year. Though originally written and recorded together, the sessions were split and released separately in 2002 and 2003. This historic moment marks the first time the album is presented as a complete piece, to be available in digital and physical formats on January 1, 2016. CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER!

The band will be joined by fellow Floridian death metal progenitors, Obituary, as direct support, followed by Canada’s Cryptopsy, and Los Angeles’ Abysmal Dawn.

Dark Horse Comics announced today the publication of Angel Catbird, the first graphic novel by Margaret Atwood, the Booker Award–winning author of The Blind Assassin, The Handmaid’s Tale, and The Heart Goes Last.

On January 29th, West Virginian dark occult rockers Brimstone Coven will release their first full-length album, Black Magic, via Metal Blade Records! Recorded at Andrew D’Cagna’s Sacred Sound Studios in Ohio, Black Magic was mostly written over a year period against a backdrop of candles, incense, solitude, and a thick air of ganja. The resulting record boasts gritty, groovy riffs (a la Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Led Zeppelin) with Pink Floydian psychedelic movements, and three-part vocal harmonies reminiscent of the Mamas and Papas, Yes, and The Byrds. For a preview of Black Magic, the video for the album’s title track can be viewed at: http://www.metalblade.com/brimstonecoven
Texas Progressive/Melodic Death Metallers FALL will self-release The Insatiable Weakness on January 26, 2016.

Agonia Records are proud to announce the worldwide signing of Canadian melodic thrash metal powerhouse, THREAT SIGNAL.
