DEFTONES
“OHMS”
Warner Music
I can’t say I’ve ever been a real fan of this band… the last album wasn’t too bad. This has a similar sound/groove as most of their catalog with Chino’s same emotive tone and sound on vox.

VICIOUS RUMORS
Celebration Decay
SPV/ Steamhammer
Classic metal, but with an almost thrashy edge going on… great stuff

Repentance
God For A Day (single)
Art is War
A kind of melodic death featuring Shaun Glass of Broken Hope/Soil fame. good heavy catchy stuff

MAD MAX
Stormchild Rising
SPV/ Steamhammer
Pretty classic power metal with a good driving rhythm and clean powerful vox.

In Flames
Clayman Re-Recorded
Nuclear Blast USA
An already awesome album re-released with a few of the songs re-recorded (as bonus tracks) it’s a win win for me!

Powerman 5000
The Noble Rot
Cleopatra Records
I recall this band being a bit more nu-metal, this is a kind of electronic industrial/techno type thing (at least for the 2 tracks)

Hinayana
Death Of The Cosmic
Napalm Records
We have some melodic death with an epic feel while staying heavy with (growly vox) solid meaty grooves too

Dreams Of Avalon
Beyond The Dream
Metalville Records
Classic power metal/classic metal a bit of a keyboard heavy 80’s ish metal sound

Incantation
Sect Of Vile Divinities
Relapse
Release date: Friday, August 21st 2020
Classic brutal death metal, technical and brutal!

TSATTHOGGUA
Hallelujah Messiah
Osmose Productions
28 August 2020
Harsh, old school black metal with lo-fi… unfortunately it sounds like it’d be pretty good if it was even “regular-fi” but the crappy sound ruins it for me… I guess i’m not tr00

Pain Of Salvation
PANTHER
InsideOut
Release date: Friday, August 28, 2020
These guys have been around for quite some time and do have their own emotive progressive sound… this new one doesn’t go too far from that.. still great prog metal

Svederna
Härd
Carnal Records
28 August 2020
Mostly a black metal sound, but pushing a little melodic death grooves. Harsh vox, definitely an evil black metal feel, but to me it’s just a bit more clear/concise than the wall of black metal I get lately. cool stuff.

Gutvoid
Astral Bestiary CD/12″ MLP/TAPE
Blood Harvest
28 August 2020
3 song Ep, some gurgly lo-fi black/death metal

Aleynmord
The Blinding Light

One of the better and underrated prog metal bands… i think this is their live album and with their new singer… sounds good!

Brain Corrosion / Ripped To Shreds
Exhumed From Eastern Tombs
Horror Pain Gore Death
(set for release on August 28th)
Brain Corrision is some grindy death metal, a bit like old Carcass. Ripped to Shreds is a bit grindy and raw blackened thrashy death

MORTA
Fúnebre
Signal Rex
28 August 2020
kind of low-fi old school black metal

Tim Bowness
Late Night Laments
InsideOut
Release date: Friday, August 28, 2020
Some pretty laid back rock… kind of more “easy listening”

Vital Spirit
In The Faith That Looks Through Death
Hidden Tribe
28 August 2020
A classic black metal, but there’s a bit of a groove… vox are harsh, a cold tone, but an occasional melodic almost doomy break here and there.

GOATVULVA
Goatvulva (CD, LP, TAPE)
Werwolf
28 August 2020
A band name like this, I had high hopes… and it seems to just be noise and distorted vox. I think it’s vox… I dunno.

Band: Psychoïd
Album: Thrash Impact (re-issue with a new mix)
Label: Music-Records
Release date: August 28th, 2020
Here’s some kind of raw thrash, production is a bit raw, but it fits the kind of punky metal going on

Release: Funeral For Two – s/t (EP)
Record label: Inverse Records
Release Date: August 20th 2020
Doomy metal with a noise/post metal thing

INTOXICATED (Florida)
Walled EP
Seeing Red Records
28 August 2020
Back in the day this might have been called death metal, growly harsh music… nowadays, I’d say it’s a heavier thrash with more harsh vox… great stuff.

Empyrean Fire
“Corruption”

this is an epic black metal single… pretty cool stuff, pushing into some melodic death

Incarnate Deity
Theodicy
Christian Metal Underground
Release date: Friday, August 14th 2020
This is about a 50/50 black metal/death metal… cold harshness of black metal, but a brutal groove of death metal… throw in some epic melodic symphonic stuff and it sounds pretty good.
