Metal Roundup Week of 12/1
Whether it's the longer, darker nights, or the dropping temperature inspiring ice-cold riffs, it seems like the best metal releases always come out in the winter. See below for my top 3 picks for best metal albums this week. - Kalen
Death Machine by Demons of Noon
With their foreboding record Death Machine, Demons of Noon dives into far out states of psychedelic doom. Hypnotic riffs awash in gritty distortion are accompanied by dramatic ritualistic vocals that set this haunting album apart.
Zazen by Born in a Headlock
Next, I by Born in a Headlock is another heavy heady release that caught my attention this week. This record blurs the line between garagey noise rock and sludge metal, thick with wall-melting fuzz and feedback.
Third Impact by Gaijin
If you prefer extreme metal that’s less trippy and more brutally intense, Third Impact by Gaijin is what you're looking for. This Florida hardcore slam record takes no prisoners, serving up just a little over 10 minutes of unflinching violence.
