The first year of the Metalliance Tour is sure to be a crusher. It isn’t a trifecta of monolithic doom now that High on Fire will not take part, but I’m sure Helmet will satisfy.

Los Angeles based black metallers, THE FUNERAL PYRE, will hit the road again in March and April with Italy’s THE SECRET. The tour is sponsored by Brooklyn Vegan.

Prosthetic Records first UK signing, DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT, have announced a European tour with Rwake. The trip runs April 17th through the 25th and includes dates with Weedeater, Today is the Day and Soilent Green. The track, “Boiled Angel,” from their debut, “Hatred For Mankind,” which will see its North American debut via Prosthetic on January 18th, is now streaming at Brooklyn Vegan.

The public’s first glimpse of THE SECRET’s upcoming 3rd full-length Solve Et Coagula has premiered today… follow follow the links to “Double Slaughter” and check out the massive praise from TRAP THEM’s Ryan J McKenney!
