Sh*t That Comes Out Today: August 2, 2024

How the fuck is it already August?! Anyone else feel like this summer is getting away from them or is it just me? I mean, it’s usually too hot lately to do anything other than chill in the AC and listen to metal, so it’s a good thing it’s Friday, at least.

A Night In Texas

Digital Apocalypse (Unique Leader Records)

Has anyone ever studied the water down in Australia? Because there’s gotta be something in it for all the deathcore bands that spring up out of that prison colony and into our earholes. A Night In Texas is back with their latest offering, so if you’re looking for music to punch people in the face to, here it is.

Blind Guardian

Somewhere Far Beyond Revisited (Nuclear Blast)

Love Blind Guardian but wish they would revisit their more seminal releases to make them not sound quite so dated? Then you’re in luck because that’s exactly what they’re trying to do with this re-recorded version of 1992’s album Somewhere Far Beyond.

Carnophage

Matter Of A Darker Nature (Transcending Obscurity Records)

Brutal tech death stalwarts Carnophage is back with a new slab of aural savagery to fuck your earholes into submission. Seriously, this release just doesn’t let up — from the moment you sit down and hit play on this thing, it’s just on. I just want to keep calling this thing brutal, so… it’s fucking brutal. Check it out.
