News Roundup: Temples Festival, Migration Fest, Skeletonwitch, Rotten Sound, Sworn Enemy and more
If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s news to you.
The lineup for Temples Festival has been announced with headliners Mayhem performing De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in full. The fest runs June 2nd through the 5th in Bristol, UK. Other big names on the fest include Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Carcass, Melvins, Mgla, and Gnaw Their Tongues. None of that matters though, because there is a band named Fuk also playing.

Speaking of festivals, Migration Fest (August 12-14 in Olympia, Washington) keeps getting bigger and better. Recent additions Magic Circle and Mizmor now join Panopticon, Mournful Congregation, Krallice, Full of Hell, The Body & Krieg, Thou, Vhol and a bunch of other scary bands. General ticket sales started a few days ago, so if you’re thinking of going, you better hop on that trolley soon. More information can be found on the fest’s website.

Skeletonwitch have released a new song/music video called “Well Of Despair”. I believe this is the first time we’re hearing stuff with the band’s new vocalist Adam Clemens (Wolvhammer). Try to sync up the song with the commercial they starred in.

Metallic hardcore veterans Sworn Enemy (from Queens, New York) have announced that their planned month-long tour with Malevolent Creation has been cancelled. It doesn’t appear that Malevolent Creation has commented on why it was cancelled. I’d hate to guess why.

Enjoy a stream of Rotten Sound’s new album Abuse To Suffer. These Finnish grinders are very loud and very angry. The album will be released on March 18th via Season of Mist.

Allegaeon has announced that they are working on a new record. From the looks of this picture, it was a very stern announcement.

Psychostick, masters of Humorcore, recently performed at MAGFest. Plenty of nerdiness ensues as they play songs like Bruce Campbell, the Reading Rainbow theme song, and Megaman . High-quality footage of their set is below.
