Sh*t That Comes Out Today – May 3, 2024
Summer’s almost here, so why don’t you take some of these new releases and go actually touch grass for a bit?
Agriculture
Living Is Easy/The Circle Chant (The Flenser)
Esoteric post-black metal band Agriculture have returned with some more heavy, experimental music that our reviewer Mandy Scythe enjoyed the hell out of. Created as a combination of both their debut EP The Circle Chant with their brand new EP Living Is Easy, this new release is definitely not for purists. But if you’re up for some experimentation and powerful themes, this could be for you.
Dååth
The Deceivers (Metal Blade Records)
After 13 years away, progressive death metal band Dååth have returned with this package of nine new tracks titled The Deceivers. This Atlanta-based band received some pretty hefty praise in our review, where C.C. Delorean said it was “destined to go down as a career highlight” for the band.
P.O.D.
Veritas (Mascot Label Group)
You may only remember this band for their break out 2001 album Satellite with songs like “Alive”, “Boom”, and “Youth of the Nation”, but this nu-metal band has been putting out albums for a looong time after all that. That being said, this is their first release in six years and it couldn’t come at a better time, as nu metal continues to explode in popularity. And this time, they’re coming out with some hard hitting tunes.
Skulldozer
Non Stop Ruthless Crushing (Wormholedeath)
Do you like old school death metal with a tinge of southern sludge? Then this band from Texas’ latest release should be planted firmly into your rotation right this moment. While technically a reissue, this album’s definitely worth checking out if you missed it the first time.
Terminal Nation
Echoes Of The Devil’s Den (20 Buck Spin)
There’s zero worry about a sophomore slump with this new full-length from Terminal Nation. Having wowed fans with their 2020 release Holocene Extinction, Echoes Of The Devil’s Den is just banger after banger after banger of uncompromising fury in sonic form. Featuring guest vocal spots from the likes of Jesse Leach (Killswitch Engage), Dwid Hellion (Integrity), and Todd Jones (Nails), this whole thing rips from start to finish. The whole thing mixes genres exceedingly well, taking cues from thrash, grind, and other extreme metal genres.
