New music Friday. New music Friday. New music Friday. New music Friday. New music Friday. It’s right this moment. There’s new music. Put it in your earholes.
Behemoth
The Shit Ov God (Nuclear Blast)
Let’s be actual right here. You’re doubtless in one in every of two camps: both you suppose this album sounds rattling good regardless of the generally dodgy lyricism otherwise you suppose Nergal is just too cringe to face and also you hate the whole lot they’ve achieved lately. For these with a extra even keel and a willingness to truly take heed to the rattling factor, you may be pleasantly stunned to listen to the musicianship on this one. Doesn’t overstay its welcome, has a pair killer tracks on it, and you’ll kinda overlook the lyrics to songs like “The Shit Ov God.”
Candlemass
Black Star (Napalm Data)
The O.G. epic doom steel band is again with an EP this time round. And whereas I don’t usually put EPs on this weekly function, come the fuck on — it’s Candlemass. Along with the 2 songs “Black Star” and “Corridors of Chaos”, this one covers of Black Sabbath’s “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” and Pentagram’s “Ceaselessly My Queen.” Positively price highlighting and equally price spending roughly 19 minutes to take heed to the entire thing.
mclusky
the world continues to be right here and so are we (Ipecac Recordings)
This Welsh noise rock/post-hardcore is again for his or her first new album in 20 years, dropping some wild shit with none second thought. Positively give this one a go in the event you like post-hardcore and/or need one thing inherently distinctive.
Sleep Token
Even In Arcadia (Label)
This week’s large launch. Very similar to Behemoth above, you already know if that is for you. The singles have all been decidedly not steel, however there’s extra to this launch than simply that handful of tracks. Go into this one with an open thoughts — it is probably not for you and that’s okay.
Tetrarch
The Ugly Facet Of Me (Napalm Data)
Nu steel is alive and properly in 2025. Case and level are these guys, who’re dropping their fourth full-length album right this moment. Listening to the songs they launched as singles, I can undoubtedly hear the nu steel inspiration, so in order for you some old fashioned nu steel stylings couched in fashionable sound manufacturing, you may need to test this out.
