Mr Bungle
“Raping Your Mind”
Ipecac Recordings
“new” single… re-recording their demo with current lineup, with scott ian and dave lombardo, you’re going to have more thrashy sound and you sure do! Cool stuff!

Devildriver
“Nest Of Vipers”

Napalm Records
Another new single… has that Devildriver sound… maybe a bit more groovin’ and “chill” while still being heavy, just not full on brutal. Harsh vox, a lil thrashy, and catchy!

Volcanova
Radical Waves
The Sign Records
Release date: Friday, August 21st 2020
After scrolling through this list of reviews.. my last one for this quick night of listening, most of it is all black metal or some form of black metal, then I get to this… a nice groovin’ laid back catchy stoner metal, such a welcome sound. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate black metal, I like a lot of it, but when it seems to be the ONLY thing we get in lately… it’s a nice change. So yeah, I like this Volcanova, even if I wasn’t just reviewing an hour of different black metal releases.

I get a lot of black metal these days, this one is pretty good, has a good dynamic feel, not all shreiking and blast beats, a solid doomy melodic groove to go with the harsh coldness that is black metal.

Interesting, the genre says “folk metal” but this is some just cool gritty melodic death, maybe the more melodic stuff could be a little folky… I guess some parts get a little folky/medieval sounding, but overall, cool stuff!!
