New York-based duo Tempers will have their new album, New Meaning, out on April 1st, 2022 via Dais Records. Single, Nightwalking, is completely characteristic of the band's dark synthpop vibrancy.

Ghost Poems, Jacob Long's third release as Earthen Sea on Kranky, reshapes the artist's delicate musical vision into something very atmospheric and melancholic. The album comes out on April 15th, 2022.
Montréal-based avant-garde composer and producer, Kee Avil, will release Crease on March 11th, 2022 through Constellation Records, a work of unconventional experimental electronica with post punk and industrial tones, and an overarching minimalist feel.

On March 11th, 2022, London's Black Doldrums will release their debut album, Dead Awake, on Fuzz Club Records, produced by Jared Artaud (The Vacant Lots, Alan Vega). Dark shoegaze, post punk, and psychedelia combine to create a sound which is both familiar and exciting.
bdrmm will release their new EP Port, which includes remixes by Daniel Avery, Working Men's Club, A Place To Bury Strangers, and others. “The idea originally stemmed from us joking about Daniel Avery remixing one of our tracks one day and we just kind of went from there,” explains singer Ryan Smith. “We’d arranged a remix swap with A Place To Bury Strangers and then somehow managed to gather all these other incredible remixes over the space of a few months, and it seemed ridiculous not to release them as one piece of work. It’s a real journey listening to them individually, but back-to-back it really is something.”
A new take on Lustmord's Plateau by Bohren & Der Club of Gore will be part of the anticipated The Others (Lustmord Deconstructed) collection. Pelagic Records will release the album on April 1st, 2022.
“Blacksmith is a track that I co-wrote with the Krüller producer Jason Begin (Vytear),” explains Tristan Shone aka Author & Punisher in regard to the project's forthcoming album, Krüller, out February 11th, 2022 via Relapse Records. “This one is a bit of an adventure where we go from my slow bending drones and morph into Jason's jungle and breaks with the same halftime bassline and vocals tying it together. Lyrically, this is an ode to Black women-led movements who have been fearlessly leading the way against oppression in this country for a long time."
Post industrial act Dark Worship is a collective helmed by J. Meyers (Axioma, Aureae Crucis), featuring Aaron Dallison (Axioma, Keelhaul, Brain Tentacles, Perdition Sect), Nathan Opposition (Ancient VVisdom, Integrity), and J. Reed (Exorcisme, To Dust). The outfit's new album, Flesh of A Saint, arrives February 25th, 2022 on Tartarus Records.
Another excellent piece of post metal darkness, Blood Moon, New Alliance, comes taken from the upcoming album Débris de Mondes Perdus, by Abraham, which will be out February 25th, 2022 via Pelagic Records. "We used a text which comes from several hundred years in the future as a conceptual centerpiece", the band say. "It is less a story than a kind of chant expressing fears, awe, struggles and lamentations. It is very oral, primitive and heathen, evil and bizarre. One can tell that darkness has obscured minds after having fallen onto the world."
METZ have revealed a new split seven-inch with UK punk band, Adulkt Life. The band's Alex Edkins says of new song, Demolition Row: "It’s quite singular. We’ve never sounded this way before."
