Better late than never. This week I would definitely suggest the post black metal of Numenorean (which is streaming) and the progressive death metal of Witherscape featuring Dan Swano.

so is new Relient K better than the shit that was their last album?

very metal-heavy this week by the looks of it, i guess i'll check the new Harakiri and Despised Icon at some point

also why would you waste art like that on Crown the Empire?

AtomicWaste

Swano, you say? I'll have to check Witherscape.

Sniff

Vanhelgd is among the best metal acts we've got in Sweden. Also that record is quite sweet.

And btw can that Harakiri for the Sky album cover be more archetypical for the genre?

Jots

am I chopped livah, Trey?

Willie
