Boris - No

NO is the most kick-ass Boris has sounded in over a decade.

Wormrot - Voices

Wormrot goes the distance with a new set of abrasive and diverse tracks that run the extreme music gamut.

Wormrot - "Hollow Roots"

A particularly murky cut from Voices, the new album from Singaporean grindcore outfit Wormrot, out now via Earache.

Oathbreaker - Rheia

The new Oathbreaker album gets off to a great, pummeling start. Then it goes soft.

Nails - You Will Never Be One of Us

One of the most savage bands on the planet returns for a third album.

Black Breath - "Slaves Beyond Death"

Slaves Beyond Death, the third album by Seattle death 'n' roll outfit Black Breath, is due out September 25 via Southern Lord. Listen to the savage title track up there and find Anthony's glowing review of the band's 2012 sophomore LP Sentenced to Life here.

Pyre - "Merciless Disease"

Get your teeth gnashed and fists clenched! You might wanna light up a torch as well for this new Pyre track titled "Merciless Disease." These guys are a metal outfit that hails from Russia, and their new LP, Human Hecatomb, will be out this month via Chaos Records.

Sonically, this track is a pretty standard portrayal of death metal and crust punk, but the songwriting and performance are just too awesome to disregard. The band has guts; there's no debating that! It's like they've somehow managed to indulge in some musical nostalgia while actually conjuring the excitement I get from listening to bands that were kingpins in the era of music that so obviously influences Pyre.

KARST - "Kistérségi / Regional"

Try out this track from the forthcoming KARST album. These guys fuse black metal and punk, and do a helluva job! The production is rawer than a skinned knee, the the vocals are absolutely ferocious. The black metal influences provide just enough melody to keep things interesting, and the performance on this particular track is especially ferocious.

This track comes off the band's new album titled Lime Veins Bleed Rust. It's self-released out available via the band's Bandcamp page.
