Mark Osegueda has been stored lots busy these days fronting Kerry King’s solo challenge, however along with his essential squeeze Demise Angel again on the street this summer time it is excessive time we get some contemporary thrash choices. Wrath (Carry Hearth) is just about all the things you’d count on from Demise Angel within the twenty first Century, all hyperspeed riffing and imperious vocalisations from Osegueda. New album later this yr? We are able to however hope.
Cwfen – Our bodies

Primus – Little Lord Fentanyl
With over three many years’ expertise making metallic as freaky as doable, we in all probability should not be shocked that the brand new Primus music is bizarre as hell. Moreso contemplating it includes a visitor look from Instrument‘s Maynard James Keenan and marks the primary official look from new drummer John Hoffman after the departure of Tim Alexander final yr. Funky, psychedelic and simply plain bizarre, Little Lord Fentanyl is pure brain-melting oddness – and we would not have it every other approach.

Detest aren’t the one band making a long-awaited comeback in 2025. Returning to stay obligation in 2021, Shadows Fall unveiled stand-alone single In The Gray final yr that gave us a glimpse at how they had been sounding after over a decade of inactivity.

It is a sometimes vibrant providing from the French band and has us desirous to bounce off the partitions till the assist beams come down.
Nailed To Obscurity – Overcast
Summer season? Not if Nailed To Obscurity might help it. The dour Germans have at all times had an inclination in the direction of the frosty tones of Scandinavian melodeath and doom, and Overcast is not any exception to that with gloriously bleak tones delivered amidst thundering, imperious riffs and a few intricate guitar-work. Taken from the band’s forthcoming fifth document Technology Of The Void, due September 5, it is a reminder that irrespective of how wonderful the summer time might sound, winter’s chill isn’t too distant.
