Brace yourselves, metalheads, as Wasted Death unleash their sonic onslaught upon the world with their full-length debut album, "Season Of Evil". Infused with horror, and with zombies everywhere eating into your brain through sledgehammer rifferama, Wasted Death bring their influences ranging from thrash and grindcore to hardcore punk and d-beat metal into an album which redefines what it means to be heavy in 2024.

Now, as the world slides into chaos, UNFOLD return with "Feral Future", their fifth album. A new singer, a new guitarist and more keyboards for even more chaos. This album symbolizes the band's unwavering commitment to the intrinsic transformative power of music. With savage riffs and haunting melodies, listeners will confront their darker side as they immerse themselves in chaos, and emerge transformed.

Something to Consume is the critically acclaimed 2025 debut studio album by Austin-based alternative rock band Die Spitz, released via Third Man Records. Produced by Will Yip, the 11-track record delivers a massive, abrasive wall of sound that seamlessly fuses elements of grunge, punk, thrash rock. The project is defined by the band’s unique collaborative dynamic, where members fluidly swap instruments and lead vocal duties across tracks. Thematically, the album explores the multi-faceted concept of consumption, from modern societal greed and substance abuse to the overwhelming nature of love, identity, and political frustration. This raw, chaotic energy has earned the band widespread critical praise and explosive mainstream momentum.

Hailing from central Britanny, Stonebirds deliver crushing and emotionally charged sludge metal, with their first two LPs forging a unique blend of atmospheric and organic heaviness, strong melodies and harrowing clear vocals. New album "Collapse and Fail" heralds the return of a band The Sludgelord calls, "one of the Europe’s more intriguing stoner/doom performers today."

An Undying Love For A Burning World is an epic album of colossal hypnotism - beautiful, fearsome and utterly compelling in a way that only Neurosis can be. Aaron Turner (Sumac, Isis) joins the band on vocals and guitar, a name whose legacy is intertwined with the band’s own and a true kindred spirit.
[...] On every song in the band’s history, Neurosis shifts restlessly between tension and relief, invoking a feeling both feral and transcendent in listeners. The band describe their songwriting process as an inescapable impulse to create with each other - a need rather than a choice. Indeed, the band insist that their return is “not a reunion - we never broke up.”

American Black Metal Overlords WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM return with a new EP, Crypt of Ancestral Knowledge. The EP will be released on September 29th and features four new tracks spanning the scope of WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM's cinematic black metal and dark acoustic folk, as well as two atmospheric industrial tracks that take the band into darker sonic territories.

Jesus Piece tend to get tagged as metallic hardcore or metalcore, as well as more nuanced variations of the same: beatdown hardcore, hardcore groove metal, “more hardcore than metal.” They boast a unique mix of aggressive East Coast grooves and call-and-response vocals, offsetting metal’s melodic and theatrical tendencies with hardcore’s propulsive energy.

On I Shall Die Here, The Body sonically serrates the remains of metal's already unidentifiable corpse and splays it amid tormented voices in shadow. Sharing their heathen vision with The Haxan Cloak, The Body's tried, true, and absorbingly tragic sound is mutilated by process and re-animated in a spectral state. This double LP set is expanded with the previously unreleased Earth Triumphant, a full-length companion album that would become I Shall Die Here, showcasing The Body’s brutality in its most primal form. Newly remastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis Studios, this is the definitive edition of a shocking classic of unbridled bleakness and innovation.

This record is packed to the rafters with incredibly infectious riffs—sharp, inventive riffs that snare the listener like a stylish vocal hook. Furthermore, there’s a sort of furtively melodic touch to her fretplay, and it underscores the gothic atmosphere while avoiding soloing entirely.
