Mastodon
Emperor Of Sand
Reprise
Mostly sounds like classic Mastodon, maybe a little toned down and more accessible.  More catchy rockin’ songs.  I guess not quite as “proggy” as some past work.

Royal Thunder
Wick
Spinefarm
Laid back down tempo-ish stoner rock.

SikTh
“Vivid” [Single]
Milennium Night
Full album comes out in June.  First taste here, catchy, a bit proggy, clean vox and some harshy stuff too.  Kind of a band that is a good gateway to more prog metal as it has some commercial solid rock type elements but more technical complex stuff too.

Anthrax
“Carry On” [Single]
Megaforce
I am a sucker for metal bands doing covers of classic rock or non-metal songs…. This has all the potential to be a classic… but… they kind of just went and did the song straight up and didn’t add a signature Anthrax sound.

WINDSWEPT
The Great Cold Steppe
Season of Mist
A brutal grooving black metal.  A little bit of a classic black metal sound, but some melodic death/viking-ish death metal grooves going on too.

BLESSED CURSE
BEWARE OF THE NIGHT
M-THEORY AUDIO
I want to call this brutal thrash… musically it’s kind of a classic thrash, vox are a bit more growly… so heavier thrash.  Or just straight up thrash but with harsher than normal vox?  LOL  good stuff.

Gruesome
Fragments of Psyche EP
Relapse
So, a band that sounds just like Death… a new EP with a new track (with Sean Reinhart drumming – who drummed on Death’s Human!), a Death cover and some demos.   Can’t go wrong!  The Demos even sound good!

The Flatliners
Invinting Light
Rise Records
A sort of alternative rock thing, a little bit of a stoner rock thing.  yeaaahh.

Body Count
Bloodlust
Century Media Records
Oh yeah!  Heavy, pissed off and just what you want from these guys.  Great grooves, riffs and hardcore rappy metal like only Body Count can do. (even if IceT is in Geico commercials and playing a cop on TV LOL)

Harlott
Extinction
Metal Blade Records
Slayer sounding thrash, but then getting into maybe a Grip Inc feel too. Great classic old school thrash feel with modern touches too.  heavy and catchy!!

Wounded Giant
Vae Victis
Magnetic Eye
Kind of a hard rocking post metal stoner fuzz/noise type thing

Perverted Ceremony
Sabbat of Behezaël LP/TAPE
Nuclear War Now! Productions
Sludgey death metal with some lo-fi production.

Coldfells
Coldfells
Bindrune Recordings/Eihwaz Recordings
Blackened post-metal.  Classic black metal stuff along with a doomy drone feeling too.

Inferno
Gnosis Kardias (Of Transcension and Involution)
W.T.C.Productions
Big wall of blackened death metal sound.  Evil, brutal, and a bit creepy melodic black-ish grind.

A Lie Nation
Begin Hate
Inverse Records
Melodic death metal, leaning more on the heavier blackened death metal side of things.  Brutal, heavy and catchy.  good stuff!

Slagduster
Deadweight
Waterlow Audio Records
Musically, it started off as some catchy and grooving prog metal.  Vox started, they’re a bit growly, but pretty cool technical proggy metal probably for fans of like, Gojira, BTBAM, Meshuggah.  Cool stuff!

CORPUS DIAVOLIS
Atra Lumen
ATMF
You got your melodic stuff, some big doomy parts, some hints of some black metal, but then some full on black metal, brutal death metal stuff too.  Pretty brutal stuff and good too.

ANEWRAGE
Life-Related Symptoms
Scarlet Records
Djenty modern hard rock, or maybe a little proggy along the lines of a Fair To Midland or Karnivool type thing.

Black Magic Six
Choose Death
Svart Records
Not quite metal, but a fun lovin’ bluesy garage band-ish heavier stoner rockabilly type thing.

Reflection
Bleed Babylon Bleed
Pitch Black Records
Epic proggy power metal.  Big fun heavy sound with a good gritty edge to it too.

BASEMENT TORTURE KILLINGS
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT BERYL
LABEL: GRINDSCENE RECORDS
Grindy brutal blackened melodic death metal. Yeah!  All that.  Heavy, and in your face but with grooves, brutality and heavy!!

Possession (Belgium)
Exorkizein
Invictus Productions / Iron Bonehead
Kind of a classic black metal but with some atmospheric grooves.  Brutal and evil sounding… edging into Death Metal too.

Nervochaos
Nyctophilia
Greyhaze Records
Big fat meaty grooving death metal that doesn’t waste any time.  First note, right into the brutality.  cookie monster barking and headbanging classics.

SINHERESY
Domino
Scarlet Records
Male/female vox melodic metal.  Keyboards, heavier guitar edge, a bit of a commercial feel.

Jesters of Destiny
The Sorrows That Refuse To Drown
Ektro
Kind of a throwback spacey stoner rock thing.

Band: AVELION
Album: Illusion of Transparency
Label: Revalve records
When the genre says “melodic progressive metal” I kind of get a little excited because that’s the kind of stuff I like… and this is decent stuff… Follows the genre, keyboard base, good driving guitar, clean vox and maybe a little bit of a metalcore feel

My Own Ghost
Life On Standby
Secret Entertainment
Female fronted hard rock, melodic clean vox.

ARTHEMIS
Blood-Fury-Domination
Scarlet Records
A wall of sound catchy kind of commercial-ish metal.  Has a full grooving metal sound.  There’s a little electronic metal feel, but hard to really pinpoint… maybe it’s just in the guitar tone.  Decent stuff.

Sigil
Kingdom of The Grave
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
Classic death metal.  Big Grooves, chuggy riffs, not all fast and brutal, just catchy heavy stuff.

MERCURY RAIN
“St Matthieu (Remastered & Reborn)”
Label:  Bristol Archive Records
Kind of a gothy female fronted metal thing.  Symphonic/keyboardy stuff going on.  Decent proggish metal stuff going on too.

Band: Atonement Theory
Album: Illumination
Label: I Defy records
Downtempo sludgy doom type stuff. Growly vox, some groove and melody though.

ScreamKing
Tyranny of the Sea
Self Released (Online MEtal PRomo)
From chicago…Some standard classic heavier metal.  Grooving kind of thrashy stuff with some good screamy vox and an edge

ECLIPSE
Monumentum – DOWNLOAD
Frontiers Music s.r.l.
As with most stuff on this label, this is melodic hard rock type stuff.  This leans a little more into power metal, but good hooky classic hard rock.

Sons Of Famine
Alcohol And Razorblades
Horror Pain Gore Death
This is some grindy extreme stoner metal sounding stuff to me.  Yeah, death metal, fast and heavy, but there’s just some tone or feel that has a little subtle stoner groove too.

Convulsions
Culture Shock
Imminence Records
Big grooving djenty tech death metalcore.

She Screams Of Royalty
Lucid Dreams A Relationship
Imminence Records
A melodic metalcore type thing… with mostly clean vox, a little djent and some growls… kind of the opposite of most melodic screamo emo core… usually it’s growly verses and singy choruses, this seems to be singy verses and growly choruses… I dunno.

X.KERNEL
FACE THE TRUTH
LABEL: CIMMERIAN SHADE RECORDINGS
Techy grooving melodic death metal.  Keyboard stuff, cool guitars, growly vox. Catchy and proggy too.

Band: Sarkrista
Album: Summoners of the Serpents Wrath
Label: Purity Through Fire
Classic cold black metal sound, shrieking vox, blast beats, good grooves and melodic stuff that you expect from extreme black metal… and good production too.

Woodhawk
Beyond The Sun
Self-Release
I know I use the word grooving too much… but this is some good grooving catchy stoner metal, gets the head bobbin’ and has a cool energy about it without being too heavy.  Good stuff.

Trial (swe)
Motherless
Metal Blade Records
This was supposed to add last week, but I somehow missed the download.  Metal Blade is on a good streak lately, just so much good solid stuff.  This is some kind of classic metal, maybe reminds me a bit of the heavier Mastodon or more of the grooving King Diamond stuff.  There’s a little bit of a throwback vibe too.

Me And That Man
Songs Of Love And Death
Cooking Vinyl
Nergal (from Behemoth) has a side project, it’s a country type band… so yeah, I guess normally we’d just cast this aside, but since it’s from the frontman of Behemoth, it’s worth a little bit of checking out.  It’s kind of a Johnny Cash style of country.

The Royal
Seven
Long Branch
Kind of a melodic metalcore type thing.  Catchy hooks, melodies, hardcore feeling, but some cool melodic death type stuff too.

NIGHTBRINGER
Serpent Sun (Radio Promo)
Season of Mist
A single… kind of a wall of epic black metal.  Classic shrieking and meedly guitars, but a full atmospheric feel too.

Warbringer
Woe To The Vanished
Napalm Records
It’s almost a given that this band would do great things on this album… and they did.  Heavy classic thrash but modern and brutal in parts.  Just makes you want to thrash, bang your head, circle pit, stage dive and all that cool metal stuff…. (but no karate moves!)

DareDevil Squadron
Last Resort (Single)
DDS LLC.
Modern grooving metal.  Sounds a bit like some classic 90’s metal too.   They call themselves “NWOBIAHM (New Wave Of British Inspired American Heavy Metal)”  Great!  I like it.

Toseland
Fingers Burned (EP)
Metalville Records
Classic hard rockin’ stuff.  Maybe a little southern fried tinge to it.

Equilibrium
Armageddon
Metalville Records
Kind of an epic folk/viking metal type thing… symphonic stuff, but melodic death-ish too. These guys have been around a while. Cool sound, a bit like an Amon Amarth, but more of a proggy symphonic epic feel.

Thiago Bianchi
Arena
Metalville Records
Classic metal/prog/power-ish metal.  Big metal voice, production is a bit raw, but a little dragonforce/rhapsody type style.  Neoclassical guitars and yeah, great vox!

Eckman Dredge
Eckman Dredge
Carruthers Bros
Stoner metal guitar sound, clean melodic sung vox.  A kind of a groove classic hard rock thing.  I kind of like this, but maybe not for the Mosh Pit.

NAGA
Inanimate
Everlasting Spew Records
Noisy Blackened Doom… slow and a bit sludgy

LAST LEAF DOWN
Bright Wide Colder
Lifeforce
Shoegazy atmospheric rock type stuff.  Clean vox, kind of a poppy doom rock.

Medico Peste
Herzogian Darkness
W.T.C.Productions
Melodic black metal, just 4 tracks, but two are pretty long, a kind of a black and roll feeling, but keeping it dark and evil.

Beast Modulus
Being
Self-Release
Kind of a groove metal, a bit of a math metal, just you know, heavy extreme modern stuff.  Abrasive vox, melodic parts, tech metal stuff.  Cool stuff.

BESTIAL WARLUST
Storming Bestial Legions LIVE ’96 (CD, LP)
Hells Headbangers
Live show from 1996.  Very raw production.  Kind of a grindy blackened death metal sound.  But if you aren’t a fan of this band already, this live album probably won’t turn you on to them… at least from a production (bootleg?) standpoint.

DIGIR GIDIM
I Thought There Was the Sun Awaiting My Awakening
ATMF
Classic-ish black metal.  Melodic stuff, harsh screamy vox, meedly cold guitars and well, long songs.  4 10+ minute evil brutal songs.

SLAGMAUR
Thill Smitts Terror
Osmose Productions
Seemingly symphonic (by the 1st track intro)… then it just gets into some sludge-noise black metal.  There’s a bit of a melodic feel but to me the wall of sludgy noise distracts from what could be some cool melodic blackened death metal.

Ordoxe
Towards Eternity
Horror Pain Gore Death
(set for release on March 31st 2017)
Black metal with a bit of a hardcore feeling.  Meedly cold guitars, harsh blackened death metal at its core.  The “lighter” parts just feel a little a bit grooving to me.

Band: Keitzer
Album: Ascension
Label: Give Praise records
Brutal death metal with a good groove and maybe a little bit of a grind edge to it.

SCUMRIPPER
Scumripper (7″ EP)
Hells Headbangers
A punked up old school extreme blackened thrash… screamy vox, music is more of a heavy thrashy punk with a little black metal feel.

MENTORS / NEKRO DRUNKZ
Split 7″ EP
Hells Headbangers
Mentors is more of a raunchy punky humor-core and Nekro Drunkz is the same, but death metal.

This Gun Fore Hire
Good Eveing Deacon (single), Infection (single)
Self-Release
This is kind of a melodic metalcore type thing.  Clean vox, harsh vox, melodies and stuff.  (just 2 songs)

Necroblood
Collapse of the Human Race CD/LP
Iron Bonehead / Amor Fati
Classic meaty grooving death metal.  Brutal, catchy, and just makes you want to march around in a cirle pit.

Falls of Rauros
Vigilance Perennial
Bindrune Recordings / Nordvis Produktion
Melodic and laid back… then classic black metal.  But… mostly a decent melodic proggy feel and classic meedly black metal

CRIPTA OCULTA
Lost Memories
Signal Rex
Classic black metal.  Brutal, meedly cold guitars, brutal in parts, and production isn’t necessarily lo-fi as it is muddy.

Porta Daemonium
Serpent of Chaos LP
Blood Harvest
Brutal death metal with a cold dark evil feeling.  Great stuff

Sinner
Tequila Suicide
AFM Records
Kind of a clasic metal thing.  This one to me has like a Steel Panther feeling… classic melodic metal, vox are clean and seem a bit of a story telling thing going on.

TIGER JUNKIES
Green Tea or Die (7″ EP)
Hells Headbangers
Old school raw hardcore/punky/thrash stuff, singing about fun stuff like “Raw sex til sperm”  or “stanik metal punks” or “green tea or dies”  yeah.

Aversio Humanitatis
Longing for the Untold
BlackSeed Productions
Blackened death metal with a little bit of a groove, but the black metal stuff is good, fast, brutal and evil.  It’s a bit doomy when it slows down.

Valgrind
Seal Of Phobos
Everlasting Spew Records
ooooh yeah.  Classic brutal black metal.  Frieght train beats, fast guitars, loud solos and cookie monster vox.

Band: Siniestro
Album: Revelations In Mayhem
Label: Bleeding Heart Nihilist Productions
Release from late last year, this is some blackened thrash type stuff.  Great edge, catchy

Blood Divisions
Cardinal One
Metal Blade Records
A collaboration of many different metal artists with an album for charity.  Founded by Chris Jericho and Ed Aborn.  A lot of variety in artists here, but sticking mostly with a classic metal style.  A Scorpions and UFO Cover too.

DODECAHEDRON
Kwintessens
Season of Mist
Blackened death metal, a bit more on the melodic black metal side of things… A little grindy evil type of stuff.

REPLACIRE
Do Not Deviate
Season of Mist
Tech death metal.  Good barking vox, lots of techy guitar and drum stuff going on.  I just had a single before and said the same thing… the rest of the album stays true.  Good stuff!

The Bug vs. Earth
Concrete Desert
Ninja Tune
Had the single for this a couple weeks ago and the same thing… Doomy Electronic instrumental.   meh.

Pallbearer
Heartless
Profound Lore
Melodic grungy doom rock.  Meaty riffs, but overall they’re doom and it’s a bit depressing.  Great riffs and overall tone.

Brother Firetribe
Sunbound
Spinefarm
This is a sort of power metal, or kind of a classic AOR type sounding thing

Without Waves
Lunar
Prosthetic Records
Technical proggy and experimental fusioney metal.  Cool stuff that has growls, clean vox, brutal metal stuff, classic prog metal, classic prog, gosh, there’s lots of stuff going on and it is not for the faint of heart.  So, yeah, all over the place prog.  You got your BTBAM type stuff and your Porcupine Tree and Cynic and everything inbetween.  Cool stuff.

Goresoerd
Antikeha
Inverse
Good meaty death metal. catchy grooves and all in finnish.  Fun.

Astral Doors
Black Eyed Children
Metalville Records
Classic metal, vox are a lot like Dio. Musically, it’s kind of like Dio’s stuff too.  Good solid classic hard rockin’ metal.

Sonar Lights
Babelonia
Independent
Almost a classic rock thing.  Grooving melodic rock.  Catchy, a little stoner metal feel.

Fit For An Autopsy
The Great Collapse
eOne Music / Good Fight Msic
Meaty grooving brutal core.  A little bit of a heavier Gojira feel going on here.

Délétère
Per Aspera Ad Pestilentiam
Sepulchral Productions
Brutal melodic black metal.  GOod stuff, heavy, cold guitars, decent melodic stuff while being full on brutal too.

Apokrifna Realnost
Na Rekah Vavilonskih
AnnapurnA
Chanting and um, background bells and stuff.  Kinda creepy… Definitely not metal nor really music?

Dead Earth Politics
The Mobius Hammersmith
Pavement Music
Kind of a modern metal… a bit groove metal, thrash metal, traditional/classic metal.  Kind of cool catchy stuff all around.  Vox are a little abrasive but clean too.  So kind of a melodic death light metal.  Hah  good stuff.

NUDIST
Bury My Innocence
Argonauta Records
So when the little description says “File Under: Sludge / Post Metal / Noise”   I have to try and be objective, as I’m not really a fan of this kind of stuff.   But yup, it’s sludgey.  it’s depressing, but has some big meaty riffs.  It just says too depressing and repetetive for me.

My Silent Wake
Invitation To Imperfection
LABEL: OPA LOKA
Kind of ambient post-rock noise.

Acrimonious
Eleven Dragons
W.T.C.Productions
This is good classic black metal.  BLast beats, melodic meedly guitars and a bassline you can actually hear!  Harsh vox. and brutal/Behemoth-like in parts too.

Aima / Supremative
Blood Chalices From the Impure – split 7″ EP
Blood Harvest
Gurgly death metal from both bands featuring cassette tape sounding production.

VENEREAL BAPTISM
Deviant Castigation Liturgy
Osmose Productions
This thing… the name… oh the name… despite the shocking name, this is blackened death metal, brutal, fast, and a freight train of death metal in your face.  GOod stuff.

Hisko Detria
Mal Du Siècle
Svart Records
A bit of a classic stoner prog fusiony type thing, almost a reggae thing going on too. Not really for the Mosh Pit, but interesting stuff.

Trigon
Fed Up
Self-Release
Classic stoner metal.  Slow grooves with some clean vox, reminds me a tiny bit of Danzig meets Monster Magnet.

CRNKSHFT
CRNKSHFT
Self-Release
Sounds like something you hear on one of those Solid Rock stations… maybe a bit like a volbeat meets godsmack thing.  Catchy as hell, great grooves… maybe not for the Mosh Pit though.

Blood Moon
Through the Scarlet Veil (2LP)
Iron Bonehead
Doomy classic black metal, a little atmospheric (meaning it feels echoey).  Production is a little mushy, but not awful.

Grá
Ramsvarta Tankar
Carnal Records
Just two songs, but this is some pretty cool grooving blackened death metal. It’s got that classic black metal thing, but a good dark heavier death metal evilness feeling.

Neoheresy
Oblawa
Elegy Records
Kind of a post black-metal type thing, oerattic chanting in the background and

Band: Immortal Shadow
Album: Horror Circus
Label: Independent
Melodic Death metal but with more of a death metal edge, maybe even some black metal.  Great brutal stuff but with some melodic hooks too.

Band: Lascar
Album: Absence
Label: A Sad Sadness Song
“Post black metal”  So it’s fast, yet drony and repetitive.

Decrepit Throne

A Mournful Path
From The Wreckage Of Humiliation
Inverse
One song of classic black metal… maybe a bit on the post-black metal side.

Bad Heaven
Demo Anthology
Texas Metal Underground
Old demos… classic cheesey “speed metal” with big screamy voices and maybe some doomy thrash metal sounding stuff.
