Last week and this week’s new stuff hits the friggin’ PAYLOAD so let’s get on with it and omit the chit chat! Everyone’s favorite Wild West tinged death thrashers SpiritWorld are back and better than ever, hence my excitement levels here just in case you somehow glossed over it. This album is a different beast than their last but trust me when I say that it rules. Next up is some ridiculously excellent death metal from Throne and yes, I’m excited here as well. Then we’ve got some straight outta left field death/noise/rock/avantgarde from Labyrinthine Heirs and we close the top slots of this here new release list with some heavy speed metal from Predator. Killer week to dig into the new stuff so go do that and we’ll be seeing you here throughout the week. Stay tuned…
