Khemmis \u2013\u00a0Gilded Chambers<\/p>\n

Back in 2018, Metal Hammer said Khemmis<\/a> sounded like “fighting a dragon and drowning in the swamp of despair, simultaneously”. Things have evolved in the passing years, while the dragon possibly licks its wounds in a cave somewhere. Taken from the Colorado-based metallers’ brand new self-titled album, Gilded Chambers is a slab of self-assured doom with a Euro-metal twist for added pep and begins with a thunderous drum solo, as all good metal songs should.<\/p>\n

\nSpitting Glass \u2013\u00a0Full Send<\/p>\n

While we’re not going to lob around terms like ‘supergroup’, the metal pedigree of Spitting Glass is not to be sniffed at. Featuring members of Fit For An Autopsy<\/a>, Osiah, Viscera and Mourn, Full Send is an unforgiving three-minute wall of extreme metal punishment released in time for the band’s appearance at Download’s Dogtooth Stage. Check it out and decide whether your Sunday hangover will cope with such a deluge of aggression.<\/p>\n

\nunpeople \u2013\u00a0Friends<\/p>\n

unpeople<\/a> \u2013 featuring former Press To Meco members Jake Crawford and Luke Caley \u2013 will release their debut album we are unpeople later this year. Friends is simultaneously bouncy, crushingly heavy and soaringly melodic at the same time. For fans of Glassjaw<\/a>, Reuben<\/a> and Devin Townsend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Chat Pile \u2013\u00a0Deep Blue<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City four-piece Chat Pile<\/a> will release Who Loves The Sun, their follow-up to 2024 album Cool World this September. Bassist Stin reckons lead track Deep Blue “sounds like Chat Pile doing a Billy Squier<\/a> song”. But in truth, it’s hostile, airless and swings like a misanthropic wrecking ball for a solid four joy-free minutes. The video is pretty unsettling too. No notes.<\/p>\n

\nCult of Luna \u2013\u00a0In the Shadow of Your Shadow<\/p>\n

It’s no wonder Ume\u00e5 was awarded the title of European Capital of Culture in 2014. From a population of 130,000 people, this Swedish city has birthed bands like Refused<\/a>, Meshuggah<\/a>, Abhinanda and Cult of Luna<\/a>. Even their bus stops look beautiful. The latter \u2013 Cult of Luna, that is \u2013 are back with another slice of post-metal perfection in the shape of their tenth album The Shadow of Your Shadow. Here is the seven-minute title track. V\u00e4lkomna tillbaka, era vackra j\u00e4vlar.<\/p>\n

\nSlander (featuring Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante and Mike Stringer) \u2013\u00a0Under My Skin<\/p>\n

Los Angeles-based Grammy nominated duo Slander \u2013 Derek Andersen and Scott Land \u2013 have joined forces with Spiritbox<\/a> vocalist Courtney LaPlante and guitarist Mike Stringer for Under My Skin. It’s equal parts rock and dubstep and LaPlante’s vocals sound huge across the thumping melee, like one of those songs we imagine you’d hear blasting out in a Peloton class.<\/p>\n

Bring Me The Horizon \u2013 Black & Blue<\/p>\n

Next month, Bring Me The Horizon<\/a> will release a new, enhanced version of their 2006 album Count Your Blessings. The one-time deathcore band were so dissatisfied with their original recording, they’ve dusted off the songs and have re-recorded them with producer Buster Odeholm in time for its 20th anniversary. Black & Blue has sharpened teeth, and should wear a muzzle, quite frankly.<\/p>\n

\nCancer Bats \u2013 Long Tooth<\/p>\n

This week, two beloved Canadian bands made their return. One being Toronto punk rock lifers Cancer Bats<\/a> who release their new full-length Give Me Dirt on August 7. If you’ve heard lead single Stay Stuck, then you’ll know that their follow-up to 2022’s Psychic Jailbreak will be packed with swirly pit rippers and a welcome dose of positivity. Long Tooth carries on their tradition of writing absolute bangers. Oh, the other Canadian band was Rush<\/a>, by the way.<\/p>\n

\nHo99o9 \u2013 Power in Numbers<\/p>\n

This Newark duo<\/a> \u2013 New Jersey, not Nottinghamshire \u2013 return with their first new music since their 2025 album Tomorrow We Escape. It’s a clarion call for unity in the face of brutality and is hot enough to melt ice. Pun intended. So turn it up.<\/p>\n

\nMadball\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Tethered<\/p>\n

Madball return with Not Your Kingdom, their 10th studio album on July 24. Tethered is an abrasive hook of New York hardcore with riffs as big as vocalist Freddy Cricien’s hands. Seriously, they’re like shovels. And if you come away from this track with Clawfinger on your mind, you’re not alone.<\/p>\n
