Cancer Bats have unleashed their furious new video for the song “Scared to Death.” The song is off their latest album “Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones.” The video reminds me of my family reunions: dark, in a forest, and full of creepy people with potato sacks over their heads.
Don’t be trapped in a cold desolate place without the proper attire. Righteous merch from a righteous band can be purchased Here.
The nice folks over at Noise Creep have premiered the lead track from the highly anticipated album “The Conscious Sedation” from System Divide. The song is called “Vagaries of Perception” and it totally shreds.

Vocalists Elliot Desgagné had this to say about “Maree Noir:”
“It’s going to be two years since our last album and we had the idea of a short release while we keep writing for the next full length. We picked five songs to go on the EP and I feel like these are by far the best songs we’ve ever written. Nothing that different from our other releases but we’re always getting a little closer to the sound we want. So we’re all satisfied with the result and are looking forward to share it.”

Clutch have announced the track listing for the expanded-dual disc edition re-issue of “Robot Hive/Exodus” which will be released worldwide on September 28th through Weathermaker Music. Currently out of print, “Robot Hive/Exodus” was at one point the band’s largest selling title of the decade due to the strength of its three extremely powerful yet diverse singles, “Burning Beard,” “10001110101″ and “Mice & Gods.” In addition to upgraded artwork and new “digi” packaging, this expanded edition will feature a bonus DVD which includes a classic 33 minute outdoor performance recorded on location at the Sounds of the Underground festival in July of 2005 in Sayreville, NJ. Also included is the Jeremy Hunt directed “Burning Beard” video clip, which was the first ever Clutch single to reach the “year end” Top 10 most played on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball.
In total, the “Robot Hive/Exodus” re-issue contains 23 songs and over 90 minutes of music. This is the second of three planned extended double disc re-issues, as Weathermaker has already released “From Beale Street to Oblivion” in July, and plans to issue forth the “Blast Tyrant” package in November. For the uber Clutch fan and/or retro rocker, Weathermaker will see to it that all three releases will make their way onto limited edition vinyl.
On September 22nd, Clutch will embark on a nine week tour with Black Label Society and Children of Bodom. In addition to 40+ dates with Zakk Wylde’s widely popular hard rock act, the veteran rock band from Maryland have just announced six headline concerts that will be placed within the Fall tour, giving their North American fanbase close to 50 opportunities to see the band perform a combination of classic Clutch material as well as current fan favorites like “50,000 Unstoppable Watts,” “Let a Poor Man Be” and “Abraham Lincoln” from the band’s latest, Top 40 soundscan charting, “Strange Cousins From the West” full-length album.

Short little update from the Baroness camp. Drummer Allen Bickle has remixed his second song from the band Surfer Blood titled “Twin Peaks.” It’s a pretty sweet remix and always cool to see two genres of the rock world interact with each other!

The Sword have released a sweet EPK (electronic press kit for you non internet nerds) to promote their new album “Warp Riders.” The band talks about what it was like working with acclaimed producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, ISIS, Botch) as well as the synopsis and structure to the album. It’s well put together and I strongly suggest checking it out before you dive into this beast of a record. After listening to pieces of this space journey I felt like the space baby at the end of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” floating through notes and sounds of a truly epic record.
Preorders are still going strong for the album so be sure to pick it up!
