It goes without saying that we're very excited about Evile's first new album in eight years, Hell Unleashed, coming out on April 30th via Napalm Records.  The band have already released the title track last month.  However, given that it's been over a month now, it's about time for another taste of the record.

Down below, you can watch the music video for the album's second single "Gore".  The track talks about serial killers, which brings back Enter The Grave vibes.  The track also features backing vocals from metal comedian Brian Posehn.  Comparing this track to the title track, this one is a bit more dynamic with slow and fast sections.  Crank this bad boy!

It's the news that we have been waiting for from Helloween for a long time now.  After a couple of successful years of touring with the Pumpkins United lineup, they announced that they were working on their much-anticipated sixteenth studio album, which would be the first album to feature Michael Kiske since Chameleon, and the first to feature Kai Hansen since Keeper Of The Seven Keys: Part II.  After a couple of years of work on the album, it is finally ready to see the light of day.

The album will be self-titled, and it will be released on June 18 via Nuclear Blast Records, with the first single "Skyfall" due to be released on April 2.  The official cover artwork has yet to be revealed, but the band released the full track listing, which can be seen down below.

The album was produced by Charlie Bauerfeind, and according to the band, they went "back to the roots" for this album, with the whole record being recorded on analog, and drummer Daniel Loble playing on the original drum kit used by original drummer Ingo Schwichtenburg (R.I.P.) on the Keeper Of The Seven Keys album.  How cool is that?  This is sure to be the Helloween album to end all Helloween albums.  Stay tuned for more info on one of the most anticipated albums for this year.

It's another sad day for us in the metal community as another legend has been taken from us.  Lars-Goran Petrov of Entombed A.D. has passed away yesterday at the age of 49 after a battle with incurable bile duct cancer, which he was diagnosed with last August.  Tributes from all across the metal community have been pouring in on social media, and rightfully so, because this is another tremendous loss.

R.I.P. Lars, and thank you for all the great music you've given the world, and all the great memories.  Going to blast Left Hand Path and Wolverine Blues right now.
