You may
begin to feel bombarded by all of the new underground heavy metal music
arriving over the course of the next month. I will try and sort it out
for you. Arriving March 4 we have the latest from death metal band,
Extermination Temple releasing their "Lifeless Forms: 4-song EP, which
is a follow-up to their 2014 self-titled cassette demo. Also arriving
March 4th is the debut album from SOON, simply titled "Vol. 1." It
features a heavy, melodic tone that mixes in "psych-rock" textures with a
straight-forward metal rhythms. Canadian prog-metal band Sierra will be
releasing their new EP titled "72." It features the 23-minute song
"Sierra - 72," which feels like a hard rock version of Pink Floyd. Also
new is the latest album from Australian death metal band Inverloch
titled "Distance | Collapsed." It features five bone crushing, doom
metal masterpieces as the eight-minute "Distance Collapsed (In Rubble)"
and eleven-minute "The Empyrean Torment" showcase the depth in this
band's songwriting. Swedish grindcore metal band Gadget arrive on March
4th with their first full-length album in over a decade titled "The
Great Destroyer." It features 17-speed metal shots of power and
adrenaline that will make your head spin. Multiply listens to this album
will be needed, just to realize what you just heard as most tracks
never get past the 2-minute mark.
On March
11th we get the debut EP titled "Luminous" from the Pennsylvania
prog-rock band Aniquatia. This four-piece band brought together all
their influences to create a distinctly addictive sound as their
musicianship is top-notch. Also arriving March 11th is the sophomore
follow-up for Arizona multi-instrumentalist, Shane Ocell's doom metal
outfit Via Vengeance. The new album titled "Harsh Conditions" features
eleven songs that Ocell recorded live in the studio as his hollowing
vocals take a backseat to the buzzing guitar riffs and steady doom metal
rhythm. The following week brings us the new album from Finnish death
metal band Gloria Morti titled "Kuebiko." It is the band's fifth studio
album and their most modern hardcore metal output. The new nine-song
release is a blast of hard-hitting rhythms and growling vocals that is
sure to leave no prisoners.
March
closes out with the latest from the death metal band AHTME (formerly
known as The Roman Holiday). Their new album titled "The Demonization"
is actually a re-issue of their 2013 album, which was never officially
released. The music hits you like a wave of technical hardcore metal as
the drumming is so precise down to the second as the growling vocals and
buzzsaw guitars give shots of adrenaline to the music. Also arriving on
March 25th are a couple of trios that are looking to pave their own
path of hard rock music. First is the new album from Canada rockers La
Chinga titled "Free Wheelin'." Their sound harps back to the big guitar
sound of seventies rock as flashy solos and sing-along chorus brought
fame to many band from that decade. La Chinga's new ten-song album is
filled with electrifying guitar riffs and rhythms that are undeniable.
The second trio to arrive with a new album on March 25th is the
California band Zun. It features the bluesy guitar work of Gary Arce
(Yawing Man), who's references date back three decades. The new album
titled "Burial Sunrise" features six-songs of soul searching rock that
will draw you in with its atmospheric tones and attractive combination
of blues and progressive metal music. To find out more about these
