Off a dusty piano sample and a generous Jay-Z vocal cut, Connecticut’s Apathy spits a series of bars dealing with the Kennedy family. He muses on various follies and conspiracies that have been following the family for decades, and does it with his usual level of focus and vivid

Plaguewielder Full EP by Plaguewielder Really digging the heavy riffs, primal drums, freakish vocals, and dismal guitar leads on this new Plaguewielder EP, which you can stream via the widget above. These guys clearly aren’t working with the best production in the world, but they seem to be doing
