New Hampshire’s Vattnet Viskar put out one of the strongest US black metal albums of the year in Sky Swallower, and here’s a chance to hear some of it live before the year closes out. Vattnet Viskar is playing a couple of dates before 2014, including the Acheron on December 20 with So Hideous, Alekhine’s Gun and Imperial Triumphant. Tickets for that show are on sale now. Vattnet has a couple of other dates scheduled, too and all are listed below.

Speaking of, New York City’s So Hideous recently put out an album, Last Poem/First Light, and it’s a doozy that blends atmospheric black metal and post-hardcore to epic effect. Listen to the whole thing below.

Imperial Triumphant, also New Yorkers, put out an EP of twisted black metal titled Goliath not too long ago. They also made a video for “Crushing the Idol” from their 2012 LP Abominamentvm. That video is a twisted nightmare trip into the dark side of prep school privilege. Watch it below.

Check out tour dates, streams and the video below…
