For anyone keeping tabs, I ran nearly my upcoming half marathon distance over the weekend so…score. No doubt I’ve got the distance and the endurance for it so I’m stoked even if the two of you could care less, haha. Right. Anyway, our lead off album this week from Ribspreader kept me excellent company on said run since I needed some straight up death metal to help me grind it out, Resin Tomb was there as well with their grinding take on death metal, and Vemod‘s black metal helped me brave the icy temps because…well, black metal obviously. That trio and a few more are in store for you below. Still not a huge list but we’ll be back to full bloat before you know it. See you here throughout the week.
