Killswitch Engage have been around for quite a long time and show no signs of stepping down. The New England metalcore stalwarts in fact announced a new album: “This Consequence” will be released on February 21th at Metal Blade Records. Check out the video of …
One of the few duo-powerhouses in modern metal, Mantar will release a new record in early 2025: Post Apocalyptic Depression will be out on February 14th, 2025 via Metal Blade Records
As a precursor to the record’s release, MANTAR released the first single, “Halsgericht.”
This one’s a fucking banger. Swedish duo Black Birch takes no prisoner during the twelve songs of their debut album “Black Birch”. Taking their bold statement Antifascist & Vegan into account, we’ll have one of the best black metal releases of 2024 at our fingertips, …
