Marriages (who are also apart of Red Sparrowes) are a three piece psychedelic post-rock outfit whose debut album Kitsune will be released on May 1st via Sargent House. Spin.com is hosting an exclusive stream of their new song “Ride in My Place”. It’s an explosive, emotive post-rock heavy hitter that is accented well with Emma Rundle’s smoky vocals. I am excited for this release and you should be too. Check it out.

Trevor de Brauw of the instrumental quartet Pelican recently performed a solo set at The Empty Bottle in Chicago, IL on the 25th. His set is a long piece purveying countless amounts of heavy distorted, warm and gorgeous sounding drones. This set is obviously inspired by his work in Chord. Check out the set below.

That’s right, ANOTHER Death Grips song has been released with an accompanying video. The song is called “The Fever (Aye Aye)” and like all Death Grips tracks, it is uber obnoxious and catchy. I can’t be any more excited for this release than I am now. Watch the video below.
The Money Store will be released on April 24th via Epic.

I have been a fan of Silversun Pickups for a while now but I haven’t really kept up with their promotional endeavours and that is exactly why I was excited to read that the band had released a new track Heavy Blog Is Heavy this morning. Thank you, Alkahest! I agree with Alkahest that Silversun’s 2009 album Swoon was an instant lovefest for me, but I think this new song, titled “Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings),” is a beautiful, atmospheric post-rock-gaze track and I love it. I’m sure it will take a few of you out there a few listens to dig it, but some of you may be just like me and fall for it the first go-around.
You can check out a stream of “Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)” below and keep an eye out for Silversun Pickups new album Neck Of The Woods which is due out on May 8th via Dangerbird Records. Enjoy.

I caught word of Dethklok‘s Brendan Small, the man behind the show and the music, working on new material that wasn’t Dethklok-fashion a while back and from just hearing 
about it I was definitely interested. I mean, if this new project sounds anything like Dethklok, I was going to love it. Well, Galaktikon is a bit different from Dethklok but not as much as you would suspect. Metal Injection says “it’s not necessarily metal, more hard rock, but still a fun catchy tune.” but I don’t really agree with this. Galaktikon is definitely metal. If you can call Nevermore metal, then you can call this metal.
It’s heavy and fast and aggressive. Actually, the music reminds me so much of Dethklok that I suspect this is what said band would sound like if they, for some reason, kicked Nathan Explosion out. So, you’ve got the sick riffs and nice, clean vocals; yeah, you’ve got me. I love this. Check out the song “On My Way” below. Shit rips. Brendan Small’s Galaktikon‘s debut is due out (I think) sometime in April.
it’s not necessarily metal, more hard rock, but still a fun catchy tune.

Kyle Gass and Jack Black, the two psychopathic neanderthals behind Tenacious D are back in the game and are prepping the release of their new album Rize Of The Phoenix. The new album is due out on May 14th via Sony Records and the duo have released a new music video for their new song “To Be The Best.” It’s a strange video that is mostly compiled of what has happened to the band since their movie The Pick Of Destiny flopped. Lots of guest appearances. Some nice tunes and Tenacious D, bitches. Check out the video below and get pumped.
