Sh*t That Comes Out Today: March 28, 2025
Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. Baseball. New metal music is here today, but also… baseball.
Alien Weaponry
Te Rā (Napalm Records)
This bold bundle of Kiwis are back again with their third full-length release. Fresh off their North American tour with Kerry King and Municipal Waste, this groove metal trio continue to mix English and te reo Māori — the indigenous language of New Zealand — into some pretty hard hitting tunes. This one’s definitely going to be in my rotation this weekend.
Arch Enemy
Blood Dynasty (Century Media)
What can I say about Arch Enemy? These guys continue to go full bore with each new release. And while old school fans may still not embrace what modern Arch Enemy is, you can’t deny that they continue to put out some cool music. I mean, check out “Paper Tiger” below and tell me that’s not Arch Enemy by way of Judas Priest.
Deafheaven
Lonely People With Power (Label)
This is… wow. Though an at times divisive band ever since the release of Sunbather, Deafheaven really go all out on this one. In our review of this album, Max Heilman described Lonely People With Power as a release that “contains something from every Deafheaven era and even improves on some previously less successful experiments.” This one’s definitely special.
Doomsday
Never Known Peace (Creator-Destructor)
Chances are you’ve never heard of Doomsday. I want you to change that today, because I really think these guys are going to be the next big thing in modern crossover thrash. By comparison to their obvious influences, these guys are still kids, but don’t let that deter you from checking these guys out. If you’re looking to find out where metal could be headed in a few years, check Doomsday out. They’re damn good.
Vulvarine
Fast Lane (Napalm Records)
This Austrian quartet of badass ladies put out a slab of rock and metal with their latest album. This release is all killer, no filler. If you’re just looking for some down bad hard rock that could get you a speeding ticket if you’re listening while driving.
