DON’T STOP THE STREAM-IN’

More new music for your Monday. Hoo-ray!

  • Vader have a new song, “We are the Horde,” streaming here. The track comes off the band’s forthcoming, uniquely titled Necropolis, which comes out September 22. At this point, Vader is barely the band that made Kingdom, but, hey, it still sounds nice n’ brutal.
  • Winds of Plague are streaming a new song, “Soldiers of Doomsday,” here. It comes off their new album, The Great Stone War, which comes out August 11 on Century. And here’s the thing about the record: yes, Johnny Plague dresses like a mo’ron, and yes, Kristen Randall really could have handled that whole boobie incident better. But the band can clearly play, and seem to be moving in a more Sumeriancore direction. I’m not sure that this album is the greatest thing ever, but it is wwwwaaaayyyyy better than I assumed it would be. So at least give the song a listen before you start bitching. ‘Cause I’m legitimately curious to hear what peeps think of it.

    winds of plague = gross!

  • HagstromSpeed

    Damn, Im a fan of their first album…but other than the keyboards in this song, its pretty boring…

  • Uglymicrowave

    There first album is pretty deathcore/nig slam and i was a fan also……..but i’m sure, like every other band growing outta that genre there gonna be a lot more metal on this album…or it could be just as boring as this song….

  • groverXIII

    I was actually surprised that the WoP song was decent… I expected it to suck completely.

  • Dr.J

    The new Winds of Plague does sound a lot better but its still bottom tier deathcore, which is saying something, and against their credit its not incredibly difficult to make that horrendous shit they produced before better.

  • moose_knuckle

    These guys are ok but theres nothing really special about them, a little breakdown heavy for my liking. I like the boobies though.

  • oblivion

    HURRAY FOR BOOBIES!
    tho there music isnt “superb” they put on an awsem fucking show so hey wtf y not give em a well deserved shot i say.

  • lkgf09

    can some please explain to me what Sumeriancore is? i thought i knew all the sub genres but then comes along sumeriancore.

    • Ziltoid

      shitty deathcore that is mildly technical that is on the Sumerian record label. it’s a tag this site create that just happens to apply to really bad music.

  • Malacoda

    Horrible band, I puked when I heard them at Summer Slaughter.

  • linh

    the song is OKAY.
    and i don’t get how wop can be sumeriancore when they’re on century media…

  • Joshie

    I’m still trying to decide if I should leave before or after Winds of Plauge’s set on the Decimation of the Nation tour.

    Vader is like Pizza …even when it’s bad , it’s still pretty good, fuck Winds of Plauge.

    • Anselmowitz

      Best Vader analogy ever. Infact, 2 truths in one post, you win hard.

  • rancidcorpse

    i like the new WOP never really listen to them till now

  • hate-crew

    new WOP is actually alot better than anything on decimate the weak. ill do what everyone in the metal world should do and just take it for what it is rather than slamming the shit out of it.

  • KillYourBoss

    Who told that broad that she was a “public figure,” anyway? No care ever. Stop bitching and join a better band.

  • Anselmowitz

    WoP are just no good. The Orcs vs Humans theme gives me the biggest hard on ever but the music barely reflects that… maybe the guy is singing about it, how hard it is to get hair gel during siege warfare or something. The trendy image & slamming tunes just rub salt in the wounds. “Better than I expected” yes, “Good enough to listen 2 & support” no.
