Today is Tuesday, listen to new albums like you’re supposed to.
Karnivool is one of those bands that definitely isn’t metal, they’re very obviously alternative or progressive rock, but constantly gets lumped into the group of bands modern progressive metal fans enjoy. I can think of a couple other bands that fit this bill. But that doesn’t really matter. Karnivool’s new album “Asymmetry” is due out today. “Asymmetry” is a Karnivool album. So it’s not be what you got on the last one, but no one is gonna care. Some of it I dig, some I don’t. Check out the haunting video for ‘We Are’ because it’s awesome.
Another for the entirely other end of the spectrum. Mammoth Grinder is very metal, and pretty hardcore too for good measure. This Texas quartet brings a crushing, mammoth sized heaping of grinding tunes of the extreme variety for your listening pleasure today. These guys are masters of all trades of extreme metal. From black, to grind, to thrash and death. Prepare for it all. The new offering is called “Underworlds” and has a sweet album to match. Leftover songs from the recording sessions have been released as a single, streamable on Bandcamp and linked below. Pick up “Underworlds” and get crushed like an insect.
Last but definitely not least is Misery Signals. These guys have had fans waiting for a new album for 5 long years and finally they’re delivering. “Absent Light” drops today to fans delight. And the fans have a lot to be happy about. “Absent Light” seems to a perfect mix of the different styles Misery Signals has explored throughout their career. The focus on songwriting and melody mixes perfectly well with the crushing aggression to yield the best Misery Signals yet. This album used crowdfunding to get started, but Basick Records is now handling some of the distribution, so it looks like Misery Signals will back in the game again.
Here's a shocker... Misery Signals released yet another great single in support of their upcoming album "Absent Light". This band always manages to deliver quality content and "Lost Relics" is no exception. Give a good listen to three singles released below and read up on our album preview right here.
We're almost there. Misery Signals are getting close to the release of their new album “Absent Light”! The highly anticipated comeback of this Milwaukee band will be released on July 23rd.
The first full track taken off this new album is called “Luminary”, it was premiered by Metalsucks.net and can be now streamed on Basick Records' official YouTube channel. A preview of another song called “Reborn: An Execution” was posted earlier on Basick Records' channel as well. The Uk-based label will be distributing the album in Europe and UK from July. You can already pre-order the new album (financed with an Indiegogo campaign) here or at Basick's official store.
The band is also currently on the road for the “Absent Light Release Tour” sponsored by Indiegogo and Merchnow with support from The Color Morale, Elitist, Intervals and The Kindred! Give a listen to the bands new stuff below.
The unforgotten “Misery Signals” will be making an official return after a long five years hiatus. In support of their return, a fan-funded campaign was launched that enables the fans to directly contribute to the creation of the album by simply choosing any new “Misery Signals” merch package; much like “Protest The Hero”. Although, “Misery Signals” has reached their goal of $50,000 you can still contribute and purchase the album or a variety of other options by visiting HERE.
"I think every band aims to progress with each album they write. But sometimes progression is learning what worked really well the previous records and incorporating those elements. So far these new songs feel like a purposeful blend of our most recent, more structured “Controller” record mixed with the chaos and spontaneity of the earlier “Of Malice and the Magnum Heart" – vocalist Karl Schubach
The fact that Schubach cites two all-time personal favorite albums when speaking with regards to a new album gives me loads of anticipatory jitters. This suspense is rather easily conquered by listening to any given existing “Misery Signals” jingle. Hell! Even “Solace,” the solo project of Schubach gets the job done. As a long time “Misery Signals” fanboy…I,T-Dog…will now share a personal favorite track from each Misery Signal album, Solace included. Probably the hardest thing I have done all week…
