Dying Fetus
Dying Fetus

Ah yes, Labor Day. The one day us workers, here in the States, get as a holiday for working. And of which, my day will be no different so let’s carry on shall we… What do we got??? Ah, college football is BACK and it was great to see Colorado and Neon Deion prove what they’ve been saying this whole time, and WWE Payback happened with LA Knight being the only match I gave a damn about and he won so score. Ok, OK… new metal is why you came and we’ve got a heap of it this week kicking off with Dying Fetus who just seem to get more aggressive with every release (I love it, to be clear), Uada returns with a stellar black metal outing but then that’s absolutely no surprise to me, Cryptopsy hands us probably one of the best death metal soundtracks for the gym or just getting your heart rate up in general, Fossilization waller around in the death metal gutter (in a good way, of course), and we’ve got tons more in the list that follows. Head below to check it out and we’ll see you here throughout the week.
