Richmond’s BLACKHANDPATH is properly fucked up. They identify themselves as a noise rap group, but that label does not particularly satisfy. As can be heard above with the new single “Don’t Choke,” the outfit’s “MC” has both a greater affinity for yelling and greater disregard for maintaining

The two singles to have dropped from Polish death metal quartet Behemoth’s forthcoming concept album The Satanist sound massive and are kind of awe-inspiring. The first, “Ora Pro Nubis Lucifer,” is a straight-up death metal frenzy, whereas the second, “Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel,” is a slower-paced, multi-phased piece complete

This is the latest single from recent Soundway Records signees Ibibio Sound Machine. They’re a UK-based outfit fronted by British-Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, and their sound is a melt of vintage electro, disco, and various shades of African music. It all comes together really tastefully, too. “Let’s Dance”

Metal duo Mantar drops the crushing and raw “White Nights,” which is a track from the duo’s forthcoming debut album on Svart Records. The title: Death By Burning. Charming, eh? The LP is dropping next month, and features some heavy production showcasing a seamless blend of doom, sludge, black

This new track from Connecticut experimental rock duo Have a Nice Life is epic, but in the sort of abject way you might expect from the outfit after their monumental, crushing 2008 LP Deathconsciousness. As the title of the song might suggest, frontmen Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga are reunited

Thousands of Moons Ago/The Gates by DRUDKH and WINTERFYLLETH Check out this interesting split between two black metal powerhouses – Ukraine’s Drudkh and England’s Winterfylleth. Drudkh spends the A-side paying homage to a few acts in the Eastern European underground (Hefeystos, Unclean, and Sacrilegium), and Winterfylleth actually devotes

Next month German indietronic quartet The Notwist will drop its first album in six years, Close to the Glass. This second single, “Kong,” is certainly a buoyant number, but due to its conventional indie rock composition, it isn’t particularly exciting. At least not until around the three minute mark,

No, Never! by Deadkill One glance at the tracklist and album cover of No, Never! and you should know exactly what you’re in for. The foreboding skull and terse tracks like “Guns,” “Kill It Dead,” and “Party Fight” indicate that this is the kind of no-bullshit punk/hard rock
