Annnnnd, just like that we’re back here with our next list of new metal releases. It’s almost October so for those of you who love pumpkin spice what the hell ever, get ready. As for said new releases, we’ve got some excellent black metal from Moonlight Sorcery, some damn near impenetrable death metal from Disguised Malignance, a thrash record from Nervosa that’s been HIGH on my most anticipated list even though our ‘stream only’ promo got ZERO listens from me…dammit, and we’ve also got black metal covered from Woe who have turned several heads here in our back office. But, we’ve also got a ton more on offer so absolutely dig in and we’ll be seeing you here throughout the week. Oh, let us know what you find that tickles the cockles of your soul.
