3. AEONIAN SORROW are holding auditions for a new vocalist. Details below:
Greetings friends,
Today we come up with some bad news and some good news too! The bad news is that sadly our dear friend Ville Rutanen decided to leave Aeonian Sorrow because of his busy work schedule these days that doesn't allow him having enough time for the band. This obviously was a very sad decision and a sad goodbye we had to say inside the band but there is no goodbye between us as friends so we have absolutely no reason putting our heads down.
Our basic requirements are:
* We need someone to be able to sing Doom Metal and have the ability to do deep low growls and high growls as well.
* Do studio recordings asap for our album
and be able to sing older songs too.
* Practice with us in Finland and be able to travel in Finland is a must.
* Play shows across Europe
If you think you are the right person for the position then feel free to send us an email at aeoniansorrow@gmail.com
Good luck

8. Belgium death, doom metal warrior GATEWAY shall unleash a new opus in 2023.
ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT:
My sophomore full-length "Galgendood" is set to release in early 2023 through the mighty Transcending Obscurity Records.
(Original post on the TO page)
Transcending Obscurity has been a go to label for me with bands like Jupiterian, Paganizer, Morbid Evils and the old school returns of Wombbath and Master. I admire the care and work that goes into each physical release and I’m glad to be a part of something that’s on this scale with such a great community. This means a lot to me as a Belgian one-man project.
Through this vessel I always find a way to reside my demons. So here I am again, with 6 tracks of utter nightmarish sonic destruction. “Galgendood” feels like the right follow-up to the previously released “Flesh Reborn” EP whilst worshipping the early stuff I made. I wanted to create a focused listening experience with tracks that build worlds and tell stories. Dark, putrid, grimy and atmospheric. I experimented with new concepts and sounds in an almost ritualistic method. This is all that came out of the deep, dark caverns of my mind. I hope it resonates and inspires.
The front cover uses the last known painting of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, stripped of all color. A somber warning against evil speak.
A brand new song from the album will be part of the impending 2023 Transcending Obscurity label sampler but in the meantime you can listen to a small teaser here - youtu.be/-uAxCU39W9M
Strength to all! - R
