The latter of which has offered their track as a free download and stream. The Melvins are proud to give you their rockin’ song “Dr. Mule”, which is one big hard rock hoof to the face.

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.

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.

Canadian grind veterans Fuck The Facts are currently prepping the release of their new EP Amer which is set for release this Summer. Whenever I go into new Fuck The Facts, I expect perfection. I know these dudes (and lady) and I know they are capable of absolute awesomeness. Well, of course, I was right. This new track “L’enclume et le marteau,” which means “The Anvil and The Hammer,” is a fucking riot. Continue reading »

I have never been into Bleed From Within. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever really listened to the band before I got a promo for their latest album Uprising. What I initially thought I had got my hands on was a corny deathcore album that I was going to toss to the side. Instead of just throwing it out however, I listened to it and, after some deliberation, I have come to love it. As far as metalcore goes in 2013, good bands are few and very, very far between. As it turns out, Bleed From Within are one of those good ones. Continue reading »

I have fallen out of touch with Norway’s Blood Red Throne over the last few years. The last album I listened to by the band was their 2009 album Souls of Damnation, with their 2011 release Brutalitarian Regime completely flying by my radar. And now, after a bit of silence, Blood Red Throne has returned and are riding on the release of their latest album Blood Red Throne. The band has released a new music video for their track Primitive Killing Machine which you can check out below. Continue reading »

The Dillinger Escape Plan released their highly anticipated new album One of Us is the Killer yesterday to critical acclaim. Everyone seems to be digging it, even Shaun Lopez. Shaun Lopez of Far and Crosses fame has put together a pretty freaking catchy, club banging remix of the title track. You can stream the remix below but make sure your mother doesn’t walk in on you “twerking” it.

Mouth of the Architect have released another track from their upcoming album, Dawning, which will see a release through Translation Loss on June 25th. The track is entitled “How This Will End” and can be streamed exclusively through Lambgoat. The song is eleven minutes of pure angelic heaviness; blending the perfect amount of atmosphere and crushing melodic sludge metal. It’s quite the impressive piece. Check out now!

My old friends in Old Wounds are at it again, this time spewing forth some spectacular filth in the form of a split 7″ with Trenchfoot. Both of these bands are incredible, so putting them side-by-side on a slab of wax is not only a stroke a genius, it’s something that HAD to happen. If you were interested in what each band will be bringing to the table this round, inquire below. Continue reading »

I have been somewhat aware of the existence of Imagine Dragons for a while now, seeing them played on various Pandora Radio stations, but it wasn’t until I started hearing their new song “Radioactive” played on commercials and television shows that I finally gave them a proper listen. I have been listening to their debut studio album Night Visions and, although it’s not metal whatsoever, I wanna tell you what I think about it. Continue reading »

Now this is a metalcore band I can get behind. I have been a fan of August Burns Red ever since I got their 2009 album Constellations on a whim. I’m not sure what drew me to the band, but I liked it from then on. These guys know how to write catchy, memorable metalcore tunes and I can get behind that.
Recently, the band unveiled the album art for their new album and it broke Solid State Records’ website. The album art is cool, but this new song the band has released is great. Continue reading »

One of my favorite bands to emerge in the last few years: Heartless have exploded forth a new 7” entitled Certain Death and, as with the rest of Heartless’ material, it is a force to be reckoned with. This band cannot, and will never, do any wrong as far as I’m concerned. Their aggressive—nay, pissed off—approach to bludgeoning hardcore is a sound for sore ears. It’s pleasantly brutal and exquisitely destructive. Continue reading »
