Everyone’s favorite shoegaze infused, post-rock inspired, melodic black metal band, Deafheaven, will be releasing their highly anticipated sophomore album next month on June 11th through Deathwish Inc. But go ahead and apply your sunscreen folks because Pitchfork is streaming Sunbather in advance. I personally think this album is more expansive than their previous effort, Roads to Judah. Do yourself a favor and stream this thing now!

Power Trip are a five piece crossover thrash band based out of Dallas, TX. With a strong hold on the hardcore community and an odd silence within their other relevant circles, my initial introduction as a neophyte hardcore listener to the Texas group was anomalous. Already awash in a sea of other similar groups from my own beginnings as a metalhead, their debut EP Armageddon Blues did little for me and not until their Lockin’ Out self-titled EP did I begin to bear a glimpse into the validity of the hype behind the group. Manifest Decimation clamps a radioactively charged and venomous grip around that gripe. As a denominational play on the 19th century imperialistic ideal of “manifest destiny”, Power Trip’s debut full length Manifest Destiny lays not a claim to total conquest for one bloodline, but a deterministic blood prophecy of planetary destruction by riff and simply put, it’s one of the best thrash records I’ve heard in a long time.

2 piece powerviolence masters Iron Lung return with their first LP in 5 years, which seems like an eternity amongst others in the genre. Powerviolence bands are typically known for large outputs of new material, given the short song structures and production rate. Iron Lung has participated in many splits and even put out some EP’s in their hayday, but 5 years between full lengths is fairly hard to come by. Continue reading »

I have only recently gotten into experimental band Wreck And Reference. I have heard of the band in the past, but their latest album Content was the first time I actually sat down to check them out. After listening to the band’s two-song EP, I was blown away. Wreck And Reference aren’t a band you come across often. Their music is interesting and compelling and I cannot get enough.
After watching the band’s latest music video, I have nothing but questions about what is rattling around in the minds of Wreck And Reference. Continue reading »

The Fader have premiered the title track from Deafheaven’s upcoming album Sunbather, which is due out on June 11th. For this song’s ten minute duration, Deafheaven send you spiraling through tunnels of melodic atmosphere and ethereal beauty all with a harsh edge. The guitars’ razor sharp tremolos and the drums thunderous blast beats create a whirlwind of madness yet the melodic atmospheres seems to deafen the blow a bit. I am really excited to hear this album in full now. You can stream the song below as well as peep the dates for their upcoming tour with Marriages.
