The Dillinger Escape Plan
“Limerent Death”
Party Smasher
I have to be honest… A lot of folks were upset at the announcement that TDEP were calling it quits after this album/tour and well, I can’t say I’ve ever really been a huge fan, so yeah, I’m a little sad that a long time, established, sort of popular metal band is going away… but, well, this is a new single.  A bit technical a bit screamy metalcore like they’re known for.  Decent stuff if you’re a fan.

Airbourne
“Breakin’ Outta Hell”
FCC Clean Version
Heavy classic hard rockin’ metal type stuff, you know, like a heavier more metal AC/DC

Charred Walls of the Damned
The Soulless – radio single
23 September 2016
Richard Christy is back with Ripper Owens for another go-’round and it’s great heavy – brutal in parts – metal!  Rippers’ classic voice and an almost thrashy death metal attack of music. Can’t wait for more!

Throw back of a hard rockin’ stoner blues thing with some female vox.  Great catchy songs, just not all that “metal”
