This week has been one of the busiest weeks in music releases in a long time. It’s been a whirlwind of some of the heaviest music and diverse songs. It is hard to keep up as usual. Below are some of my favorites of the week and some you might have missed.

What has everyone been listening to lately? I have been catching up on thirty years of Death Metal, studying up on my Women’s Music history, and listening to new albums from Messa, Kardashev, and Eluveitie. Let me know what I should check out next.

One of My Favorite Metalcore Bands Drops New Deatchore-like Single

Sigh. I wonder how much of Modern Metal is going to sound like Lorna Shore and Slaughter to Prevail. I love Parkway, and I like this song, but it’s a little too predictably Modern Metal. What happened to melody in Modern Music?

I’ve never heard this band before, so I didn’t know what to expect. I expected classic Death Metal, but this is much more diverse and beautiful than I expected.
