Finland’s newest metal success, Lost Society, has just been signed to Nuclear Blast Records, one of the bigger label names in extreme music today. They play a no-bullshit, no-frills approach to 80s-style thrash metal, which is ironic when you consider that every single member of the band was born
If this is what Staten Island hip hop production sounds like, please give me all of it. Git Beats has dropped the most head bobbing beat I have had the pleasure of hearing this year so far. My further listens of this track just devolved into trap rap style dancing,

Yep, I’m not messing with you on that title. Ghost is actually covering Abba here, and Dave Grohl has somehow drummed his way onto the track. The track is apparently the b-side for the band’s latest single, which there will be a release for in April–according to
