Couch Slut

Here we go.  In April, New York hardcore punk/metal band Couch Slut are back with a new album to pummel our brains and rip our faces off.  Check out "Ode to Jimbo" below and pre-order the "You Could Do It Tonight" LP here from Brutal Panda Records.

Glassing

The latest from Austin metal band Glassing just dropped on Friday, and it's a doozy.  Elements of doom, black metal, hardcore punk, post rock, post metal, and noise collide for an ear splitting, psyche rupturing good time.  Check out "Burden" below and pick up the "Twin Dream" LP here from Brutal Panda Records.

Glassing

Austin trio Glassing create dense pieces of sound combining elements of black metal and post hardcore bombast.  The result is heavy and immense.  New album "Spotted Horse" came out last week.  Get it here via Brutal Panda and listen to the album opening "When You Stare" below.

Norska

Today was my son's 4th birthday, and after a day spent with the family, hitting up the zoo, a flea market, a brew pub, a winery, and playing with Nerf guns in the house, it's nice to wind down with a storm blowing in outside, some of the last of a holiday ale i brewed back in January, and some heavy, psych-influenced doom metal from the Pacific Northwest.  Listen to "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" below from Norska's latest crusher, "Too Many Winters," and cop the LP here from Brutal Panda.
