Paracletus, the fifth full-length by French black metallers Deathspell Omega, will be out on November 9th. Paracletus is the last chapter of a trilogy which took nine years to complete, a musical and spiritual quest during which everything was put at risk.

And the best thing is, you can now download a full song off Paracletus for free. Click here to check out the track "Devouring Famine".

Paracletus cover art] tracklist:

You can now download Grand Theft Audio, the newest EP from Swedish garage rockers Foobar The Band, for free. Go to this location and the five-track EP is just one mouse click away.

According to the accompanying press release, Foobar The Band is a five piece steamroller that no one gets by unharmed.

And if you enjoy Danko Jones, Clutch or Rage Against The Machine, Foobar The Band might be the thing for you!

The band is currently working on their new studio album, despite having just released this EP.

Only hours after the band announced their new record deal with Victory Records, Blackguard is back in the news announcing the departure of keyboard player Jonathan Lefrancois-Leduc (also in Ex Deo). The band issued the following statement:

"For those of you who have seen us play recently with Leaves' Eyes and on the Nevermore tour, you have no doubt noticed the absence of our Keyboardist Jo. We're sad to say that Jo has officially left the band to pursue other endeavors.

There's no drama here, and we're all still good friends. Jo simply felt his time with the band had come to an end and we have amicably parted ways. Blackguard will remain a 5 piece for the foreseeable future."

The band had the following to say about the Victory Records deal: "At first (and second) glance this might seem like an odd pairing, but Victory is a very hard working label that we are all 100% behind. The Victory staff has welcomed us with open arms and are committed to pushing our next release to its full potential.

It's no secret that we've been touring extensively this past year and a half, and it's comforting to know we have a label backing us that are willing to work and put in as much effort as we have for the release of our 3rd record (2nd under the name Blackguard).

That being said we are hard at work completing our next record which has a tentative release date for April. The release will coincide with a North american tour that isn't announced yet, but when it does it's going to turn heads."

You can now check out a brand new The Ocean track, called "The Grand Inquisitor II - Roots & Locusts", off the band's upcoming album entitled Anthropocentric, at Stereogum. The album Anthropocentric serves as part two of the concept explored on the band's well-received Heliocentric long player, released this past spring and will be released in North America on 9th November via Metal Blade.

Furthermore, the Landing Page for Anthropocentric is now live as well, offering fans in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe a chance to pre-order the album. "She Was the Universe," the third track off Anthropocentric, is streaming now. Metal Blade Records will continue to update the Landing Page leading up to and throughout the release of Anthropocentric with news, tours, dates, video footage, and more so be sure to check back frequently.

"Despite the fact that Darwin inaugurated a paradigm shift in modern natural science, his thoughts were not the last nail in Christianity's coffin. There are still people who believe that the teachings in Genesis are to be taken verbatim. These people are at the crosslines of Anthropocentric. Anthropocentric challenges the views of creationists and other modern fundamentalists who still believe that the earth is at the center of the universe and no more than 5,000 years old. Where Heliocentric covered a large range of dynamics and styles from calm, soulful songs based on piano and vocals to moments of eclectic heaviness, Anthropocentric is more straight forward, technical and soul-searingly heavy, whilst still tapping into the band's signature range of dynamics."

To check out "The Grand Inquisitor II - Roots & Locusts," visit Stereogum. More information about the album can be found here.
