We’re nearing the end of March and as such, spring is fast approaching. I cannot express how excited I am to get hit with allergies again just in time to enjoy the warmer weather. In the meantime, here’s some new tunes to get hyped about.
The Deer Hunter
Sunya (Cave & Canary)
A prog band taking on some high concept sci-fi bullshit ain’t nothing new. But it’s the way that The Deer Hunter does it that makes ’em stand out. The songs sound huge, epic in nature, while still retaining some of the band’s more catchy and wide-ranging styles.
Exodus
Goliath (Napalm Records)
Classic thrash metal outfit Exodus is back with vocalist Rob Dukes and this is the album that came out of that reunion. It’s heavy. It’s relentless. It kicks all kinds of ass even after five years of not putting out any new music. Still, Dukes sounds like he belongs in the band and never missed any time away. It’s just pure, unadulterated Exodus and it’s absolutely worth your time.
Filth Is Eternal
Impossible World (MNRK Heavy)
Formerly known as Fucked and Bound, it’s been about three years since Filth Is Eternal released new music. This time around, the songs are a little longer than normal, there are some new members in the fold, and the result is a pissed off record that goes more places than the band used to.
Gaerea
Loss (Century Media)
Portuguese black metal is on display once again, as Gaerea’s new album Loss adds to the band’s overarching sound and lore. As you might come to expect, this album’s stuffed with heavy rhythms, crushing riffs, and some major orchestral parts that really elevate this album
Poison The Well
Peace In Place (SharpTone Records)
It’s the return of Poison The Well. Having not released a new piece of music almost a decade, this one’s been a long time coming. It’s super pissed off, which makes sense given everything else goin on lately. If you’re pissed off at everything, this will be right up your alley.
