Curated by Monk
It’s been another busy week here at ÜRHQ and what better way to unwind than by once again throwing open the doors of the Über Kingdom’s most exclusive club and sharing another playlist of the hottest tunes to have burning up both our deathdecks and our eardrums in recent days? Well, we can’t think of one, so let’s dive straight in, turn the volume up to neighbour annoying volumes and crack open a few of our favourite beverages, shall we? Well, OK, if you insist…
Absinthe Green ‘Death Whispers A Lullaby’ (Self-Released)
We’re luring you in gently with this acoustic-led interpretation of the Opeth deep cut, taken from the Greek alt-metallers’ upcoming debut album:

Black Opal ‘History’ (Self-Released)
The Belfast indie rockers return to the club with this latest sample of their upcoming sophomore album, and a song which sees them addressing the eternal question (so often asked in their home city) that if “all men are brothers, why can’t we just love one another?”
Black Yet Full Of Stars ‘Halom Schacor’ (Self-Released)
This is the opening track from the newly-released second album by Amsterdam-based Italian composer Carlo M. Dini, which is essentially an instrumental version of his orchestral metal debut offering from last year:

Mien ‘Silent Golden’ (Fuzz Club)
This psychedelia-infused supergroup – featuring members of The Black Angels, Elephant Stone and The Earlies – may hail from the extremities of north America (i.e Montreal and Texas) but it hasn’t stopped them delivering this cohesive third slice of their upcoming new album, due out this time next month:
Nova Twins ‘Soprano’ (Marshall Records)
