    Unsacred - False Light

    The Needle Drop

    The Richmond, VA-based trio Unsacred have just released their debut LP on Forcefield Records, and you can stream it in full above. While the band channel a few different styles of heavy music throughout the album, they don’t really blend them together as much as transition back and forth

    James Blake - 200 Press

    The Needle Drop

    Fans of the London-based producer will have new material to tide them over until the rumored release of his next full-length, expected to drop sometime in 2015. The 200 Press EP consists of four tracks that might seem strange on their own, but come across as united in their oddity.

    Lotic - "From the Front" (ft. Dr. Luke, Rabit, Sugur Shane, DJ Karfox, Big Hud, Fat Pimp)

    The Needle Drop

    https://soundcloud.com/lotic/front Lotic’s self-released mini-album Damsel In Distress was named one of the best of 2014 by FACT Magazine, referring to it as a mixtape of “gothic club nightmares”.

    Myrkur - "Skaði (Demo)"

    The Needle Drop

    Normally, I wouldn’t make such a big deal over a demo, but this new track from the one-woman black metal project known as “Myrkur” comes with a pretty interesting announcement: Not only is the cut embedded above going to be featured on the forthcoming Myrkur LP on Relapse Records

    Various Artists - "Detroit vs. Everybody (Official Remix)"

    The Needle Drop

    I recently reviewed the new Shady XV compilation with Mr. Steven Francis, and I remember commenting on how much of a letdown the “Detroit vs. Everybody” cut was. While there were come decent verses on the track, the list of featured MCs seemed kind of limited. However, this new official
