This week’s new heavy metal releases\u00a0include some apt Halloween albums, a explosive debut, lots of punks covering Lemmy and the boys, and more! To the metals\u2026<\/p>\n

Avatar \u2013\u00a0Don’t Go In The Forest<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Genre: Melodic death\/alternative metal
Origin: M\u00f6lndal, Sweden
Label: Black Waltz<\/p>\n

Buy now on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t think of a more Halloween appropriate band than Avatar (maybe Helloween?). Sweden’s clown-led melodic weirdos are back and hitting the listener from a bunch of different angles. There’s some folk metal, some groove metal, some alt rock, and a lot more. Another varied entry in an already diverse catalog. <\/p>\n

Black Cross Hotel \u2013\u00a0Songs For Switches<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Genre: Gothic rock\/post-punk
Origin: Chicago, Illinois
Label: SomeoddPilot<\/p>\n

Buy now on Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems like this year \u2013 more than ever \u2013 The Atlas Moth crew want to do anything but The Atlas Moth. Last month saw the debut of Motherless which features Stavros and on Black Cross Hotel Ragin and Mike have returned with their driving industrial, post-punk outfit with \u2013 among others \u2013 Marcus\u00a0from Stabbing Westward. This one is another perfect one for today in particular.<\/p>\n

Chat Pile and Hayden Pedigo \u2013 In the Earth Again <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Genre: Noise metal\/avant-garde
Origin: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma\/Amarillo, Texas
Label: Computer Students Records<\/p>\n

Buy now on Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n

This one is hard to describe. Chat Pile have been leading a new era of angsty noise rock lately and for this album they teamed with avant-garde artist Hayden Pedigo for a more floaty album. Still some dissonance, but what little I’ve heard is oddly pleasant in comparison to the usual CP stuff? Maybe the singles have been misleading.<\/p>\n

Despised Icon \u2013\u00a0Shadow Work<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Genre: Deathcore
Origin: Montreal, Quebec
Label: Nuclear Blast<\/p>\n

Buy now from Nuclear Blast<\/a><\/p>\n

Up next we are getting pummeled by the sonic fists of Despised Icon. Their first album in six years is a deathcore masterclass. It’s also full of friends. Those friends include Matt from Kublai Khan TX, Scott from Carnifex, Tom from Chelsea Grin, and Misstiq.Yay friends! <\/p>\n

Primitive Man \u2013\u00a0Observance<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Genre: Doom\/sludge
Origin: Denver, Colorado
Label: Relapse<\/p>\n

Buy now on Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n

What if one day Primitive Man dropped an album that sounded like Owl City? Just happy little beeps and boops about glowing bugs. This is probably as far as you can get from that vibe. Just darkness, heaviness, sadness, anger. All that fun stuff.<\/p>\n

Trivium \u2013\u00a0Struck Dead<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Genre: Metalcore
Origin: Orlando, Florida
Label: Roadrunner<\/p>\n

Buy now from Trivium<\/a><\/p>\n

Trivium’s first release of new material is a trip of songs that serve as a farewell to drummer Alex Bent. The songs are in the ballpark of In Waves and Shogun. If the last couple weren’t aggressive enough for you, this might scratch that itch.<\/p>\n

Various Artists \u2013\u00a0Killed By Deaf \u2013 A Punk Tribute To Mot\u00f6rhead<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Genre: Punk
Origin: Various
Label: BMG<\/p>\n

Buy now here<\/a><\/p>\n

As the title of this suggests this is punk bands covering Mot\u00f6rhead. You’re getting Pennywise, Rancid, Anti-Nowhere League, The Damned (with Mot\u00f6rhead), and more. Mot\u00f6rhead songs have always been pretty punk, so to hear bands take them across that line is pretty cool.<\/p>\n

Wiltwither \u2013\u00a0Pure Light<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Genre: Experimental metal
Origin: South Carolina
Label: 3dot<\/p>\n

Buy now from 3Dot<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are a fan of The Callous Daoboys but wish they ditched all the silly parts, you’ll probably dig the debut from Wiltwither. This is an intense and adventurous album. Some deathcore here, some nu metal there, some mathcore there, some pure rage there. All pulled off very well.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
