Quite odd album coverThe ground will shake as Future Noise bring two rising titans of the UK underground together for what will be one of the heaviest releases of the year. Blackburn’s noisiest sludge merchants, BASTARD OF THE SKIES, and Birmingham’s purveyors of filthy doom, GRIMPEN MIRE, go head-to-head on a limited split 12″ featuring new material from both bands.  

Baltimore’s Reptilian Records is preparing to unload the scum-coated, riotous debut LP from Detroit noise rock/hardcore bastards, BEIGE EAGLE BOYS.  

Dallas-based apocalyptic doom act, DEAD TO A DYING WORLD, has just wrapped-up tracking their sophomore LP, Litany, with Billy Anderson (Sleep, Neurosis, Melvins). Featuring collaborations and contributions from members of Sabbath Assembly, Pallbearer, Pinkish Black, and Ecocide, the album will be delivered in a massive 2xLP setup. Anderson will complete production on the album as the final factors of the album’s impending release later in the year are sorted in the coming weeks.  

The five-piece punk/metalcore group Illuminate Me has announced the pre-orders for their new album I Have Become a Corpse.

With all things Marvel touches turning to gold, it was only a matter of time someone came up with some kind of exhibit for the “Center Of The Universe” New York”s own Times Square. Well, look no further. Welcome to Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N.  

This Tuesday, a quite lovely little album from Darkest Era happened to grace the world with its presence. I am, of course, talking of Severance. It’s a bit more traditional than some of the other releases of late, in that its simply a great metal album. Specifically, because I know some of you HAVE to have a genre, its a Melodic release, similar in fashion to Rhapsody of Fire or Iron Maiden, and a few others. Nothing but fine singing, metal riffing, and some epic Celtic musicianship.
