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!)
