Unearth have debuted a new track by the name of “Eyes Of Black” online below. The song is taken from the groups upcoming fifth full-length outing, “Darkness In The Light“, which has officially been scheduled for a July 05th release date through Metal Blade. The group tracked the outing with Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage at the helm while Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel) tackled the mixing duties. Justin Foley of Killswitch Engage fame handled the studio drumming for the outing.

Speaking on the album, band frontman Trevor Phipps chimed in with the following:

“Darkness In The Light is without a doubt some of the heaviest, most dynamic and memorable tunes we’ve ever written. The disc is littered with the shred ‘n’ stomp-filled songs our fans would expect from us, as well as some added vocal hooks, guitar melodies, guitar solos and some different paths taken in style and structure.

We knew we had to continue to separate ourselves from the pack and to cement our place in the heavy metal world as one of the leaders and not as one of the many followers that seem to hop on the trend wagon and give up so easily when the going gets hard. We are here to stay and collectively we couldn’t be any more fired up to play these songs around the world for our fans new and old.”

The cover art for “Darkness In The Light” can be seen over at Facebook, while the track listing will run as follows:

01 – “Watch It Burn”
02 – “Ruination Of The Lost”
03 – “Shadows In The Light”
04 – “Eyes Of Black”

06 – “Arise The War Cry”
07 – “Equinox”
08 – “Coming Of The Dark”
09 – “The Fallen”

11 – “Disillusion”

Decapitated have revealed the cover art for their upcoming album “Carnival Is Forever” over at their Facebook. Furthermore, the album has officially been scheduled for a July 12th North American release date through Nuclear Blast (July 15th in Europe.)

All Shall Perish will be filming a new music video in the coming weeks for an as-yet unspecified track from their upcoming album “This Is Where It Ends“. The group took to Twitter to break the news with the following:

“Filming a music video for the NEW RECORD in a few weeks, stoked!”

“This Is Where It Ends” is presently on schedule for a July 26th release date through Nuclear Blast.

Miss May I are readying a deluxe edition of their album “Monument” for a June 21st release date through Rise.

Black Market Activities, the label headed up by The Red Chord vocalist Guy Kozowyk, have announced a new distribution and artist development deal with Good Fight Entertainment. Speaking on the new arrangement, Kozowyk offered the following:

“The new deal keeps us distributed through Sony’s RED Distribution, whom we have worked with for years now via our prior distributor, Metal Blade Records, and also opens up new doors for artist development. With Good Fight, we have the management team responsible for artists like Between the Buried and Me, Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, and Job For A Cowboy, lending a hand with developing bands on the BMA roster.”

Kozowyk further elaborated on the new deal with the following:

“This deal marks an exciting new chapter for BMA. When we were out searching for a new distro deal, working with Good Fight just felt right for everybody involved. I have known those guys through the scene for years and I have so much respect and admiration for everything they have done with every avenue of their companies. They have been extremely open and responsive to several new progressive ideas we have brought to the table, which is very important since the music industry is changing so rapidly.

Among those ideas is that of functioning on a more limited model — the idea that, in this age of digital music, there’s still a place for CDs and vinyl, it’s just on a more limited, ‘collector’s item’ basis. As a music fan, I’m the type of person who wants to read the layout cover to cover and have the artwork and lyrics in my music collection. With many of our upcoming releases, we will be issuing limited runs of CDs and colored vinyl with download cards for those of you, like me, who want the physical product. There will be limited shirt and music package deals in our webstore and, of course, the albums will be available digitally.

Thank you for your continued support of BMA, our artists and of all extreme music. And a huge thank you to all at Metal Blade for all of their help in making our artists available for the past seven years.”

The current release schedule for Black Market Activities runs as follows:

June 07th – Engineer – “Crooked Voices”
June 07th – Khann – “Erode”
June 21st – Fit For An Autopsy – “The Process Of Human Extermination”
June 21st – Ed Gein – “Bad Luck”
To be announced – Today Is The Day – “Pain Is A Warning“
