Not gonna lie, I’ve been ALL IN on last week’s Vitriol drop and don’t intend on steering away from that anytime soon. However, it’s a new week and we’ve got another batch of new releases to tickle your ears and Striker kicks things off with a killer album cover and some speedy 80s riffs to boot, then Perveration move in with some filthy death metal, next up we get melodic with Litosth’s take on black metal, and last up top this week is an EP from everybody’s favorite splatterthrash band Ghoul. So, there you have it. New week, new stuff, do it. See you here throughout the week.
