New Jersey's current death metal clan is beyond incestuous. Favorites like Abazagorath, Evoken and Funebrarum all run in the same circles, with many members of each band intersecting with one of the others. Kalopsia is another band in this pool of expanding and contracting crew of musicians across the water.

Kalopsia is a project featuring members of Funebrarum, Dehumanized, Abacinate and Deteriorot, and their new album Amongst the Ruins is due at the tail end of this week (9/15) via Godeater. Close to a decade in the making, Kalopsia divvied out the first taste via a stream at Decibel magazine, but now you can stream their LP in its entirety below for the very first time.

Unfortunately no dates to speak of for Kalopsia, but look for that to change in the near future. Until then, check out Amongst the Ruins streaming below along with a recent rehearsal demo.

Autopsy at Inferno Festival (more by BBG)

Autopsy are on their way to NYC for their first show in 19 years, and it all goes down TONIGHT at The Bell House! Featuring appearances from Funebrarum (their first NYC show in six years), Unearthly Trance, and Denmark's Undergang, the show is the lone date for Autopsy on the East Coast outside of an already-sold-out appearance at Maryland Deathfest. Tickets are still available for this BV-BBG production.... OR you can try your hand at winning one of THREE pairs I have for giveaway. Details are at the bottom of this post.

Undergang are heading across the Atlantic from Denmark to play the show, and the band have added another date happening Saturday night at Saint Vitus (5/5) with Kalopsia (members of Funebrarum) and Tribune. The show goes down at 9PM and is FREE with donation. Nothing beats a free show, so get there and give at the door if you can!

UPDATE: I was just told that this show has been cancelled.

Stream some Kalopsia and Undergang below, along with details on that contest...
