This Toilet Tuesday (10/1/19)
October is always the busiest time of year for new metal releases, and if this week is any indicator, this month is going to be mad. This list is huge, and it’s stacked; I’ve gone ahead and picked out a couple of releases you may have missed in the flood of new music. Check those out and let us know what else we need to hear.
This Summer Is Going to Kill You – This Summer Is Going to Kill You (Independent) [Death Thrash]
Stream
Sounding like Revocation is a good way to get your band on my radar, and this duo’s music bears a shocking resemblance to the tech/death/thrash giant’s middle albums. This EP is loaded with flashy, jaunty riffs and some incredible solos, but their technical prowess doesn’t mask their sense of fun. Don’t be put off by their goofy name—this EP is fantastic. 9/30/19 (Spear)
Algebra – Pulse? (Unspeakable Axe) [Thrash]
Stream
We are getting truly spoiled with thrash this week; between the above band, Ripper, Toxic Holocaust, and Algebra, there’s a lot to take in. I haven’t been able to dive as deep into this album as I’d have liked yet, but what I’ve heard so far has been great. Pulse? is an interesting beast, a mix of straightforward thrash ideas and some off-the-wall Voivod-ish craziness. Whatever they’re doing, I like it, and you’ll want to get on this as soon as possible. 9/30/19 (Spear)
