Shorts: Release Friday – 16 May 2025

Straight from my personal release radar, and put very briefly: Here are my favourite releases this week

Fall of Mankind is a new project by Eluveitie’s Rafael Fella and Alain Ackermann. Portent in the Dark is their first release featuring Adrienne Cowan of Seven Spires.

For their new single Break These Chains, The Rasmus have teamed up with Niko Vilhelm of Blind Channel (which is, basically, the first musical sign of life of a Blind Channel member since they went on ther break)

Lorna Shore released a new single called Oblivion today, which is the first release from their upcoming album
I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me, announced for 12 September 2025.

Saltatio Mortis teamed up with the who-is-who of German heavy medieval / folk music (and some additional bands associated with the scene) to create an ode to community and friendship with their new single Spielmannsschwur.

And finally, there’s a new album by Bury Tomorrow. Happy release day to Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience

(I’m still trying to decide on how to arrange these posts lol)
