Sh*t That Comes Out Today – December 15, 2023

A certain major holiday is right around the corner, so naturally shit’s winding down for the end of the year. Still, there’s a couple new releases out today that you need to check out, or end up on someone’s naughty list.

Children of Bodom

A Chapter Called Children Of Bodom (The Final Show in Helsinki Ice Hall 2019) (Spinefarm Records)

We’re coming up on three years since the untimely passing of Children of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho. It’s wild to think it’s been that long, yet it really hasn’t been that long at all. Four years ago, the band called it quits and recorded their final show ever, which naturally took place in Helsinki. This new release is that recording, so now everyone can experience that emotional and ultimately crazy sad night.

Cryptworm

Oozing Radioactive Vomition (Pulverised)

Ring in the holidays with some putrid, rancid ass death metal, courtesy of Cryptworm and their sophomore album Oozing Radioactive Vomition. This is just some straight up punishing, gruesome, and dark death metal, so you know whether this is your jam or not. Piss off your loved ones with this one.

Evergrey

From Dark Discoveries To Heartless Portraits (Napalm Records)

Released as an anniversary album, Evergrey’s From Dark Discoveries To Heartless Portraits celebrates the band’s three decades playing progressive power metal. There are multiple variants and formats available for order right now.

Therion

Leviathan III (Napalm Records)

Symphonic metal outfit Therion are back to release the third and final part of their Leviathan trilogy. As such, it continues the story of the first two records, while creating something new and exciting at the tail end of 2023.
