Devildriver
Trust No One
Napalm
These guys still put out heavy brutal-ish groovin’ metal.  Not quite as catchy and memorable as their first few albums… but still relevant and heavy.  This new one doesn’t seem quite as brutal as past effors, but still catchy and definitely groovin’.

VIMIC
“Simple Skeletons” [Single]
Roadrunner
Hey, it’s Joey Jordison’s new project… about time.  This is kind of a hard rockin’ melodic catchy yet staying nice and heavy.  Did I mention catchy?   It has a bit of that overproduced electronic-ish sound, but doesn’t wreck anything.

JORN
I Know There’s Something Going On – RADIO SINGLE
Frontiers Music s.r.l.
Jorn doing a cover of Abba’s Frida’s classic 80’s single. Kind of cool to hear a classic song kind of “metalled” up.  (the original featured Phil Collins as producer and on drums!)  The forthcoming album is a collection of covers of songs that mean different things to Jorn.  Should be pretty cool (as I’m a sucker for covers!)

Melodic hardcore/death metal, some good melodic death stuff going on, then some whiney emo comes in some parts and just pisses all over it  :/

I Am Noah
The Verdict
Bastardized Recordings
Djenty modern proggy metalcore.  There hasn’t been much of this lately, so actually it’s welcome and pretty decent stuff

Whitechapel
Mark of the Blade (radio single)
Metal Blade Records, Inc.
Just a single from their forthcoming June 24th album, this has some brutal elements but with a groove and headbanging quality… good stuff.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Nonagon Infinity
ATO
Kind of an indie sounding pop rocking stoner rock. Can’t say there’s really much metal going on here… maybe the attitude?  I dunno.

Beartooth
“Aggressive”/”Always Dead” [Single]
Red Bull
A bit of a modern metalcore feel, catchy and groovin’, but the clean vox are a bit whiney.

Satyricon
Nemesis Devina (Re-Issue)
Napalm Records
Satyricon was below my radar for some time, so I’m not too familiar with the older stuff, well this is a remaster of the 1996 album, and what a great excuse to get acquanted with it.  A nice newly remastered version of Mother North?  Ok!

Cilver
Not The End of The World
eOne Entetainment
Female fronted modern “pop” metal?   Solid rock sound happening here. Yeah, good groove, catchy and all that… just nothing really “METAL” going on here.
