Chelsea Wolfe and Deafheaven vocalist George Clarke have teamed up to release a remixed version of Youth Code's "Lost at Sea." The track is taken from the band's 2016 release, 'Commitment to Complications.' The remixed song is available at this location and can be purchased for $1, with all proceeds going towards Planned Parenthood. The track can be heard below.
Youth Code have shared the following statement about the remix:
"To have such amazing artists come together to collaborate on such a deeply personal song is an absolute dream come true. Thematically the song is pretty transparent as it deals with feelings of loss and frustration that there is no hope for any redemption in the future. We would like to donate all the proceeds of this song to Planned Parenthood in hopes that people in need of these resources can continue to attain them without ever having to feel lost or frustrated with taking care of their reproductive health."
Deafheaven will be supporting Gojira on a slew of dates this May. Code Orange and Kyng are also confirmed as support. The dates are available here.

'The Grand Annihilation,' which is produced by Erik Rutan (Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal), can be pre-ordered at this location.
"If you've been following Tombs, you probably know to expect the unexpected, and I always strive to present a full range of emotion on everything with the band's name on it," commented frontman Mike Hill. "That said, this is a very dark and introspective record that digs deep into the common ideas of mortality, infinity and cosmic mysteries. The lyrics on the new record are a celebration of freedom through embracing the dark side. Once you realize that you follow the dark path – the path of the individual – there is a certain feeling of liberation that accompanies it."
'The Grand Annihilation' tracklisting:
1. "Black Sun Horizon"
2. "Cold"
3. "Old Wounds"
4. "November Wolves"

All That Remains have shared the official lyric video for their newest single, "Louder," which is taken from their forthcoming studio album, 'Madness.' The effort is slated for an April 28 release via Razor & Tie. The song and video are available below.
Speaking of the track's meaning, frontman Phil Labonte explained: "The song 'Louder' is about not backing down or self censoring because people yell about what you think or believe. There will always be people who want to shout you down or say you can't and that's when you have to stand firm. There isn't really an overall theme of this record any more than there was for any other ATR disc. Lyrically it's all small parts of my life I put together and laid down. They're all small parts of me."
Revolver recently caught up with Labonte to discuss 'Madness.' You can watch the interview at this location.
The band will be embarking on a North American tour this spring. Dates are available here.

French musician Gautier Serre's Igorrr will release its new album, 'Savage Sinusoid,' on June 16 via Metal Blade Records. In conjunction with this announcement, Igorrr has shared "ieuD," the first single from the effort, which can be heard below.
The release will blend the sounds of metal, classical music, baroque, and electronica while utilizing a wealth of instruments such as the accordion, saxophone, sitar, harpsichord, and mandolin in addition to electric guitars and drums. Despite the use of electronic manipulation, 'Savage Sunusoid' was written organically and does not include any sample sounds.
"I just want to make the music I love, without asking myself if it's gonna be too complex or too far from what people like," explained Serre in a statement about his musical diversity. "I want to make the music which has sense to me, with no restrictions, like a big party with metalheads, electronics nerds, classical and baroque-heads and gypsy violinists getting drunk and joining together to bring the best of every genre."
In addition to Serre, the lineup also features vocalists Laurent Lunoir and Laure Le Prunenec and drummer Sylvain Bouvier. Special guests include Cattle Decapitation vocalist Travis Ryan, who collaborated on the tracks "Cheval," "Apopathodiaphulatophobie" and "Robert." Other guest artists have yet to be announced.
'Savage Sinusoid' can be pre-ordered in various formats at this location.
