What this week is lacking in big names, it more than makes up for with a surprisingly high median quality. Ryan gave the go-ahead to skimp on BM recs this time, so you’ll get to check out a metric ton of death metal. Yay! Imperishable, Hexrot, Ethereal Wound, and Proscription should be high up on your list, but we also recommend giving stuff like Exsul or Splatt a spin if the genre tags appeal to you.
Our apologies to phone users on limited data plans. There are so. many. singles. this week, and we didn’t even include the 2000s throwback trio of Mudvayne, Soulfly, and Slipknot. Maybe we should ask the artists and suits to take an off-season? Nah—we must consume, consume, consume. Riffs and noise are what keep us sane.
