So many albums are being announced for the second half of 2015 we’re struggling to keep track of them all - seriously, just look at the release schedule, it’s bonkers! Of course having too much amazing music is not a bad thing, so here’s our picks of the best songs from the past seven days…
Ahab - Like Red Foam (The Great Storm)
Dom Lawson (Editor At Large): ”More tectonic doom majesty from the mighty Ahab. As vast, deadly and unstoppable as the great oceans that continue to inspire this remarkable band’s music.”
Clutch - Psychic Warfare
Alexander Milas (Editor-In-Chief): “An ass-shaking Philip K. Dick-inspired dose of pure rock fury.”
Sweat Lodge - Bed Of Ashes
Jonathan Selzer (Reviews and Subterranea Editor): “Badass, bong-hitting biker rock humping a jukebox full of classic metal, and with grooves so ripe they’re practically fermented.”
Iron Maiden - The Book Of Souls Preview
Merlin Alderslade (Deputy Editor): “If you play it six times it counts as a track. Fuck off”
Grave Pleasures - New Hip Moon
Luke Morton (Online Editor): “Infectious melancholy from every metaller’s favourite post-punk crew.”
