William Beckett – Benny & Joon – Music Stream

August 22, 2013

Unfailingly earnest indie rally-rock from the former frontman of The Academy Is… (and a singer on the “Snakes on a Plane” song, score!).

SMP – Metal Madness – Music Stream

August 22, 2013

SMP delivers “Metal Madness” with metal aggression (and a delightfully wanky guitar solo) over a dance/industrial skeleton, along the lines of Rammstein.

Essence of Mind – Indifference – Music Stream

August 21, 2013

Norway’s answer to anthemic synth pop, while there’s nothing here to topple Apoptygma Berzerk or Zeromancer, there are many potential singles here.

Cathedral – Tower of Silence – Music Stream

August 21, 2013

The near seven-minute “Tower of Silence” closes Cathedral’s 20+ year run as doom giants, The Last Spire being their last album of new recordings.

Revocation – The Hive – Music Stream

August 20, 2013

Unlike most “tech metal” bands, Boston’s Revocation actually have some great hooks and songs that stick with you.

Chixdiggit – Chupacabras/Thursday Night – Music Stream

August 20, 2013

Combines Chixdiggit’s second and third albums: 1998’s Born on the First of July and 2000’s From Scene to Shining Scene, plus eight bonus tracks.

Siva Six – Superstition – Music Stream

August 19, 2013

The Greek Gothers nailed it with 2011’s The Twin Moons, and this 15-track Superstition EP continues the distorted whispers, frantic beats, and industrial chaos.

Battlecross – Force Fed Lies – Music Stream

August 16, 2013

Thrash metal, pure and simple. Battlecross wastes no time ripping your face off with polka beats and riffs in thirds (Slayer, Dark Angel, everyone since).

Deville – Hydra – Music Stream

August 16, 2013

There’s enough metal chug and stoner swagger to keep this a rock record, but the polished production will make the shaggy wary of commercial overplay.

Helalyn Flowers – White Me In / Black Me Out – Music Stream

August 15, 2013

Helalyn Flowers combine a strong, beautiful female singer and a strong electro metal-tinged male rock beast, so it’d be hard to go wrong, yes? Well, no.
