Sonoran death metal legion GATECREEPER and gore metal maniacs EXHUMED announce a co-headlining US tour through the Fall. Both bands will tour in support of their new albums Deserted & Horror - both out on October 4th. The tour begins on October 31 in Austin, TX and ends December 4 in Las Vegas, NV. Additional support by NECROT & JUDICIARY. All confirmed tour dates are available below.

Comments EXHUMED's Matt Harvey: "We couldn't be more stoked to bring folks such a stacked lineup for this tour. It's gonna be a neck-breaking extravaganza of massive proportions! We can't wait to get out and play stuff from Horror for all the Gore Metal Maniacs out there and showcasing the tunes alongside Gatecreeper, our Bay Area homies in Necrot and Judiciary will really be a trial by fire for the songs. We've got a new setlist, new production, and the same old body odor, so come out and make some noise with us!"

There are only 2 explanations to this week's column low number of records; one, we finally hit dead days of summer or two, someone is getting fired for being lazy updating our database. Since I'm the one doing updates we have to roll with the first option, otherwise this column will never see the light of day again. But low number doesn't mean there's nothing to listen to, on the contrary, there were some very compelling albums being released last week, especially if you're into black metal. Oops, I wasn't suppose to point you into any directions... so, click play on each sample and discover something new, you never know what will get your fire going.

And in case you're going to blame me for the low number of records, in a comment section below, please point me into the records I missed or bands to keep an eye on.
