It’s new release Tuesday—time for another edition of Initial Descent! And unfortunately, it’s another weird week for new releases. Collectively, the music biz has decided that this week will mark its official shift to industry-wide, new release Fridays. As such…only some of what we want to listen to and discuss this week is actually available at this point.

Going forward, we’ll be moving Initial Descent to Mondays—if new releases close a week, then this post should open the next one—so keep an eye out for that. All that said…here’s what we’ll be chatting about on this week’s podcast!

July 7, 2015

Between the Buried and Me – Coma Ecliptic (Metal Blade)

At this time, the album is only available via private Soundcloud stream on select websites. (THANKS, METAL BLADE.) So head on over to Spin and stream it in full there.
