IO Editor-in-Chief Andrew Rothmund moonlights as a show photographer (well, not right now of course) — he’s gathered his favorite images from 2019 onward (incl. Bell Witch, Heilung, Sleep, Cattle Decapitation, and more) to help rekindle memories and sensations of being right there.

We unveil the new three-song EP from Ohio folk duo Osi and the Jupiter — intensely minimal and subtly vivid, this release comprises a set of beautiful contrasts.

A two-hour black metal magnum opus is the selected soundtrack for this (far briefer) reflection on doing the laundry.

20 Buck Spin announced today the upcoming debut release of industrial-meets-extreme-metal crossover band Black Magnet — you can listen to the first single from “Hallucination Scene” now.

We’ve got a groove-laden new song from “Embodiment of the Divine,” the upcoming Buried Realm album that also features guests of Scar Symmetry, Soilwork, and Obscura fame (just to name a few).

We unveil a new music video single from black metal quintet Amiensus — this decade-long project has only two full-lengths, but a third (and mighty) one is coming later this year. Get a taste now.

We’re streaming the closing song from Portland black metal project Drouth’s upcoming second full-length “Excerpts From a Dread Liturgy.”
