Progressive Death Metal Continues to Evolve!

RIVERS OF NIHIL are back and ready to shatter expectations with their latest single, “Water &amp; Time,” a synth-soaked, progressive death metal anthem that offers a glimpse into their upcoming self-titled fifth album, dropping May 30th via Metal Blade Records. What started as an experimental synth track—nicknamed “TFF” for its Tears for Fears vibe—evolved into a full-blown metal banger, with towering choruses and crushing riffs layered over its shimmering electronic roots. Guitarist Brody Uttley crafted the bones of the album to hit hard live, before adding in the studio polish, ensuring the record feels as potent in a dive bar as it does in an arena. But this isn’t just business as usual—the new album pushes the envelope with added textures like saxophone, banjo, and cello, expanding their sound while staying true to their genre-defying spirit. ========================= Engage with My Kind of Weird using one of the links below. <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mykindofweird.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Bluesky</a> <a href="https://discord.gg/KtARcBm7QP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Discord</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mykindofweird1/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Facebook</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mykindofweirddotnet/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Instagram</a> <a href="https://x.com/mykindofweird_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.mykindofweird.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on our Website</a>

Oni Press & EC Comics resurrect terror with a retro-slick, blood-soaked Summer of Fear—featuring vampiric vengeance, sadistic hosts, and cosmic carnage galore.

Oni Press and EC Comics are unleashing another wave of mayhem with the continuation of their partnership for the Summer of Fear—a seasonal lineup of horror comics drenched in EC-style terror and pulpy wickedness. Following the success of titles like Epitaphs from the Abyss and Cruel Universe, this summer’s lineup kicks off with Blood Type #1 in June, a standalone spinoff starring the vampiric Ada, written by Corinna Bechko with art by Andrea Sorrentino. July brings Catacomb of Torment #1, a new anthology hosted by The Tormentor and featuring stories by horror veterans like John Arcudi and Marguerite Bennett. August wraps the season in cosmic dread with Cruel Universe 2 #1, a 12-issue return to intergalactic nightmare territory led by creators such as Ann Nocenti and Greg Smallwood. The madness begins early with Free Comic Book Day’s Blood Type #0 special, a grisly sampler that sets the stage for the summer’s bloody buffet. The preview features throwbacks from Cruel Universe and Cruel Kingdom, plus an early bite of Ada’s story, marking EC’s first solo character spinoff in this revival line. Set on a resort island crawling with wealthy prey, Blood Type promises a stylish, high-stakes showdown between undead hunger and corporate corruption. With lush art from Sorrentino and a darkly comic tone, the book anchors what Oni calls its boldest horror lineup yet. As Catacomb of Torment and Cruel Universe 2 roll out, EC’s signature brand of grisly morality tales gets a blood-slick upgrade, complete with resurrected classics and new material by genre heavyweights. Whether it’s anatomical nightmares narrated by a sadistic host or sci-fi doom spirals tearing through space-time, the Summer of Fear aims to push the boundaries of horror comics. With its mix of retro homage and modern storytelling muscle, EC’s return under Oni Press is shaping up to be an unrelenting, flesh-ripping celebration of the grotesque. ========================= Engage with My Kind of Weird using one of the links below. <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mykindofweird.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Bluesky</a> <a href="https://discord.gg/KtARcBm7QP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Discord</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mykindofweird1/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Facebook</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mykindofweirddotnet/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Instagram</a> <a href="https://x.com/mykindofweird_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.mykindofweird.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">My Kind of Weird on our Website</a>
