Swedish death thrash project Since the Death, going back to its first EP in 2017, has always been a one-man solo project helmed by multi-instrumentalist Oscar Rask. However, on the latest effort, Entangled, Rask (drums/synths/samples/bass/vocals) is joined by Richard Adolfsson on guitar. The pair have manifested a fervently energetic 10-song full-length—the fourth from STD—that’s a buzzsaw of gnarled, deathy Scandinavian thrash. It’s a little bit black metal musically and a little bit “white metal” lyrically, informed by Rask’s Christian faith. There is, however, no lack of intensity throughout. The entirety of Entangled is offered up here in advance of its upcoming release.

Entangled is, in fact, set to be issued on CD and digitally via Nordic Mission Records on April 24. You can place your preorder here.

Rask had this to say about his latest full-length:

“Entangled is about feeling completely trapped, like everything is closing in, but still somehow being protected. I had this image of a man wrapped to a tree in a cocoon, with monstrous spiders waiting to devour him, and then suddenly a river appears that keeps them away. He’s still stuck… but also guarded. There’s a kind of dark humour in that—you’re safe, but you don’t know for how long. That’s how I see life sometimes. Even when things feel hopeless, something can change. You just have to endure a little longer and trust that it’s not over yet.”

Industrial metal stalwarts Fear Factory have a lot of tour dates this summer, but thanks to some issues that have cropped up, an entire leg of their tour had to be shifted around a bit, resulting in their Latin American dates getting moved around a bit.

Earlier today, co-founder and guitarist Dino Cazares announced that their upcoming shows in Chile, Argentina, and Colombia are moving to mid-July. Unfortunately, however, their planned appearance at Bangers Open Air Festival had to be canceled, since they can’t make it out when that takes place.

The dates in question, listed as follows, were part of the band’s 30th anniversary celebration of their album Demanufacture. The newly rescheduled dates in question are:

• Jul 15 – Chile @ Teatro Caupolican
• Jul 16 – Buenos Aires, Argentina @ Groove
• Jul 17 – Corooba, Argentina @ Club Paraguay
• Jul 18 – Bogota, Colombia @ Ace Of Spades

Following those dates, Fear Factory will head across the pond for shows in Europe throughout August, September, and October. Coming along with them will be Crystal Lake, Hate, and The Nocturnal Affairs.

The full list of dates for their European run are listed below. Just remember you can get your tickets today.

The Dear Hunter recently released the new album, Sunya. Continuing the sonic universe they first unveiled on 2022’s Antimai, Sunya finds the band leaning into synth textures and tightly wound grooves, drawing as heavily from jazz and funk as from progressive rock.

The band has now shared a video for the track “The Glass Desert III – The Plains”.

The band has not shared much behind the meaning of the album, but along with this video, they shared a post on social media with some explanation from singer/songwriter Casey Crescenzo:

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had a music video that simply shows the band without any surrounding theatrics. With all of the ambitious, lore-driven goals I’ve signed us up for, it can be easy to overlook that at its core, this group is just friends making music we love. This video was created with that in mind. To bring it to life, we spent one of the first sunny days of the year in front of a green screen. There has been a lot of fun theorizing about this record—the narrative, the character—but while that’s something I’ve always enjoyed watching and occasionally engaging with, it feels important to offer a bit more context.

This album has no focal character. It has no narrative. The Indigo Child is a different approach to conceptual music than what we explored with The Acts, just as The Color Spectrum diverged after Act III. Sonically, this is the music of The Indigo Child. Between Antimai and Sunya, you now have the sound of a world that can exist in your mind. Lyrically, these albums approach that world from two different but complementary perspectives: one outward-facing, centered on communities within a societal hierarchy, and the other inward-facing, centered on your experience of the world around you. You are the character in this story.

The events referenced throughout are the narrative: the realization that you exist within a hostile world stripped of its physical and metaphysical resources; the presence of others who believe their survival may depend on your harm; the forced gamble of capitalism; the misplaced idolatry of those who came before you; the fear of confronting yourself at your most fundamental level; the need to move forward with only yourself as compass and commander; and the disorientation of feeling directionless.

And ultimately, the understanding that what you are chasing—an answer to all the questions you’ve gathered along the way—may already exist within you, shaped by everything you’ve endured. These are my experiences, and they are yours. Don’t search the lyrics for a narrative that explains the record. Look inward and you’ll find it there. I promise there is something beautiful waiting for you.”
