NEW MUSIC TUESDAY - AUGUST 6TH

Today is one of the best Tuesdays in metal, seriously. I have three albums for you, like usual, all essential listening, so get on it. And all three have full album streams available, what more could you ask for?

First up is Revocation. Oh my god, last year’s “Teratogenesis” EP was some of the best thrash I have heard in a very long time. Just so good. So damn good. This year the question that was left was simple: could Revocation take the success of the “Teratogenesis” EP and match it with their next full length. And the best answer I can give is: yeah, pretty much. This album is a little different, but very awesome. I do feel like I enjoy “Teratogenesis” more, but Revocation’s newest and self-titled album is essential listening and very good in its own right. Stream it here.

I love death metal. So far this year has been a little lacking in the death metal department according to my ears, there’s been some cool releases that I’ve definitely enjoyed quite a bit, but I want more! And here comes Exhumed to change that, all for me, I assume. Exhumed’s newest release “Necrocracy” is absolutely fantastic and is definitely my favorite death metal release of the year so far. The band’s gore themed, death n roll style is better than ever. The riffs are simple and memorable, the solos rip, and the album and I are getting along great. Stream it here.

Last up is Last Chance to Reason. Not surprisingly, their new album is titled “Level 3” and it’s great, proggy and the right evolution of their sound. The songs wind, build up and climax like a video game themed band should. I’m finding both their heavier and softer parts more interesting though with this release. Don’t miss this one as right now, with both guitarists leaving the band and the vocalist joining The Contortionist, the fate of Last Chance to Reason looks kinda iffy. Stream it on Bandcamp!

THE CONTORTIONIST ANNOUNCE NEW FULL-TIME VOCALIST

And it's exactly who some of you may have been expecting. After touring as a replacement for John Carpenter, Mike Lessard of Bostonian band Last Chance To Reason has officially joined forces with The Contortionist as their full-time front man.

Some more interesting news has also come about with this event. Not only will Mike Lessard also continue being the vocalist for Last Chance To Reason as well, Robert Bacca of The Contortionist will join at least as a touring guitarist when they eventually hit the road with Evan Brewer this Summer. Other show / tour plans for Last Chance To Reason have been significantly cut back unfortunately. It should be interesting to see how this affects both bands moving into the future. Especially considering Last Chance To Reason just announced their next release.

Anyways, you can check out music from the parties involved down below.
