You know what time it is! It’s that moment of the week when, fed up with the world’s depravity, I decide not to give up—because there are plenty of Metal bands out there dying for attention. Even if all they get is disdain, they keep going. And honestly, having edgy opinions that a handful of people read on the internet is enough to keep my sad hope alive. Today, we’ve got a lot of bands with flashy, long names—let’s see if they’re worth the effort!
The Malefic Grip – Virtue and Industry: I’ll say it—this was a wild trip through Grind, Punk, and Electronic music. It’s definitely not what I’m used to. It’s noisy, but in a way that overwhelms you with a chaotic mix of elements happening all at once. Yet, this EP feels like a socially subversive assault, which is always a plus in my book. If you’re into strange, attitude-driven music, this one’s for you. Click here!
Suppressed Intentions – Sink Like a Stone: Let’s take a trip back to the 2000s, when bands like Lamb of God and Machine Head dominated the US scene. Suppressed Intentions channels that vibe. Sure, it’s heavy, but groove is the real focus, while maintaining a level of accessibility for those who don’t need their Metal to sound like it was recorded on a microwave (yes, I said it—some of the stuff you send me sounds as good). Also, the solos are fun, and I can’t complain about that. So, click here!
The Obsidian Resurrection – Prophecy’s Will: Time for a major shift! This single is tough to categorize. At first, I thought it leaned toward Symphonic Death Metal, but it also incorporates old-school elements that give it a unique edge. Plus, the wild transitions packed into this one track are impressive. I’m intrigued by its upcoming album and will definitely keep an eye on it (just dropping that hint here!). Oh, and the artwork? Stunning—it better not disappoint! Click here!
Major Distortion – The Lone Sailor: Feeling lonely? Well, this instrumental track might make you feel even lonelier, but that’s perfectly fine when it’s wrapped in the gloomy, melancholic tones of Post-Metal. It evokes a longing for better times, now lost forever. That’s the vibe Major Distortion is aiming for (or at least, that’s what I get). If you’re into bands like Pelican, this is your jam. So, crawl out of your cave and appreciate this piece ASAP! Click here!
And that’s it! A mix of works that span a broad section of the Metal spectrum. I couldn’t have done much better—except maybe by throwing in some Power Metal, but who even wants that, right? Thought so. Tune in next week, when we’ll dive into whatever you, the people, leave in my mailbox. Enjoy your weekend while you can, because tomorrow is Monday, and your feudal lord needs you back in the fields!
