Adult Swim Singles have teamed with grindcore luminaries Pig Destroyer for the 31st installment of the current program. “Cameraman” is Pig Destroyer’s first release since last year’s highly acclaimed album Head Cage, which itself was the first album in six years from the prolific outfit. The new single mines a similar territory as the preceding album; an aggressive and sonically rich Venn diagram of grindcore and noise rock with touches of industrial swagger.
Bay Area masters of metal FALLUJAH have released their highly-anticipated, 4th full-length album, Undying Light, today via Nuclear Blast Records.

Drums and vocals were tracked by Lewis while guitars and bass were recorded by guitarist Scott Carstairs. Cover artwork was created by Nick Keller (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DISENTOMB). Undying Light is the first release with their newest member, vocalist Antonio Palermo.

THE SWEET THINGS are a buzzed-about, young, dirty rock n’ roll band specializing in a potent blend of New York Dolls-style trash rock served up with country-fried Southern swagger and tight songcraft. Coming off two indie singles, “Love to Leave” and “Slather,” the New York City-based band will release its much-anticipated debut IN BORROWED SHOES, ON BORROWED TIME on May 24 via Wendigo Productions NYC/Spaghetty Town Records. It was produced by Matt Chiaravalle (Courtney Love, Debbie Harry) and recorded in, of course, NYC.
Uli Jon Roth is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitar players ever. He is one of the last greats who is still around to present his magical style of playing which he already forged in the late Sixties when he was still in his teens. Uli played his first ever show in December 1968 – at the age of 13 – and to celebrate his upcoming 50th Stage Anniversary, he will perform concerts across North America this spring.
Nashville powerviolence duo THETAN has recorded a special single with Bronx hip-hop icon KOOL KEITH! The “Complicated Trip” single will see special vinyl release for Record Store Day on April 13th and is the precursor for a fully collaborative album being plotted now. The single lands as fires still rage in the wake of THETAN’s crushing new Abysmal LP.
“Pioneer,” an adjective to be used carefully. Many wish they were, most are not. DIAMOND HEAD – the Stourbridge, England-born New Wave Of British Heavy Metal pioneers – return to the world stage with a new album. The Coffin Train is at once fresh and exuberant while also being a stone-cold classic slice of old-school heavy metal excellence. Is it packed with the sort of riff-fueled power that founding member (and riff lord) Brian Tatler led a genre and influenced the odd band or two with? It’s electric for sure… and then some.
