After a long period of deliberation, I have decided to bring Giro Nation Metal to a close. I was fortunate enough to have an amazing experience podcasting over the past two years and am forever grateful to my listeners and previous guests. This is something that has been on my mind for a while and not a decision made easily. To all of you, thank you so much for making this all possible. Episodes that have already been recorded will be released, as scheduled. The end of November will signal the last episode of Giro Nation Metal.

Again, thank you all. This has been unforgettable.

…When the winds battle with thunderous sound

Beyond stoked to announce our new album with “STARPATH”. Released by the best label in the land

“In both 2021 and 2022, DREAM UNENDING & WORM releases closed out the year at 20 Buck Spin. For 2023, to complete the year-end trifecta, the two doomed titans now appear together on one towering release of cosmic duality, ‘Starpath’. The full digital album will be released this Friday, October 20th and pre-orders will start that day as well for physical formats with a release date of November 24th.

With both bands dropping major works back to back in the previous two years, they became intrinsically linked in the imaginations of the fanbases. And while musically they almost couldn’t be farther apart, the foundational points when exhumed of the Earth, have plenty in common. And so once more, DREAM UNENDING & WORM end the 20 Buck Spin release schedule for the year, this time in conspiracy with one another.

Two bands, two unique approaches, a chasmic spectrum of light from radiant impassioned creation to the terminal abyssic darkness of oblivion. DREAM UNENDING & WORM each present new music created specifically with the joint release of ‘Starpath’ in mind. The incredible cover painting was created by Mark Riddick () who did his first painting in decades for this special release.

1. Dream Unending - So Many Chances
2. Dream Unending - If Not Now When
3. Worm - Ravenblood
4. Worm - Midwinter Tears
5. Worm - Sea of Sorrow

DREAM UNENDING:
Recorded by and , mixed and mastered by

WORM:

We are excited to announce the final completion to our line-up, our new guitarist Skyler Mills ( , Outlaws Of Ravenhurst).

Skyler has been a long time friend of the band and is a killer guitarist and even more solid dude! We can’t wait to play live and show you all the new line up in full force!

Skyler comments:
“Being asked to join a band is always  sweet, but when it’s your friends band, who have been there since the beginning and have always made an effort to support me and my endeavors, it’s a really cool and exciting moment.

  I’m honored to have the opportunity to play with such awesome people. Especially with such an incredible guitar player as Colin, his skill and focus is really cool to witness.
Theres already some cool chemistry between us and I’m really excited to be a part of this with Marlee, Jon and Aaron!”

Allegaeon is pleased to announce the return of Ezra Haynes as a permanent member and the release of a new song, “Inhumation.”

Ezra was the original recording vocalist for Allegaeon between 2008-2015 and recorded our debut EP and first three full-length albums. “Inhumation” marks Ezra’s first recording with Allegaeon since 2014’s “Elements of the Infinite.”

Greg Burgess adds:
“It’s been a complete blast having Ezra’s creative and positive energy back in the band. We share so much history together; it feels like having one of your best friends back after a long absence. His creativeness and charisma have been missed by many, and it feels like we picked up right where we left off. Am I 10 years younger now? Is this how magic works?”

To help us welcome Ezra back to the Allegaeon family, head over to to stream “Inhumation”: https://metalinjection.net/video/allegaeon-debuts-inhumation-visualizer-featuring-original-vocalist-ezra-haynes
