In what seems to be one of the strongest eras of death metal, VAELMYST blister through a flooded underground with compositions that cement the band as one of LA's prominent purveyors of misery. Dive in and witness maniacal riffage.

Iceland is home to the best black metal today, no questions asked, and Misþyrming is testament to that. The Reykjavík-based unit take atmosphere to the next level on Algleymi, properly fronted by Manuel Tinneman's mastery.

FIRESPAWN lay waste to all in their path on their new offering 'Abominate' with Paolo Girardi effectively illustrating the destruction that Modin's drums are capable of. Massive death metal for your very ears.

IDLE HANDS are streaming their new single 'A Single Solemn Rose' from their album of the year contender "Mana." The Portland unit just get it right when fusing melody and rock n' roll with the importance of a strong chorus.
