Another week with few less releases that we're accustomed to here, but what a delight for death metal fan! We have records that MetalBite scored from a perfect 10, hosted an official premiere of a full album stream and everything in between in this week roundup. In none death metal news, Swedish heavy metal war machine, Sabaton brings World War I - inspired album, progressive Gates To The Morning for almost an hour mixes varied influences and switches styles to keep your attention and Rebel Wizard sums it all up best: "God came down and spoke to me about this EP and he said it was total shit and to stop acting like a baby. He said all music is shit and we're all a bunch of babies and we’re about to be destroyed anyway. I pointed my broken wizard fingers with heavy negative metal wizard self-righteousness and told the arrogant buffoon; 'shut your dumb face'. He did, because negative wizard metal trumps God, and now the EP has been released with all its absence of symbolism and triumphant chants that Hark! Hark! Hark!"
