Dawnbringer
Night Of The Hammer (Profound Lore)
On a playlist with: Nachtmystium, High Spirits, Ozzy Osbourne
Listen Night Of The Hammer full stream (here)
It’s so hard to be heavy and throwback when there’s a glut of new bands trying either one or the other. What Night Of The Hammer does, though, is make nostalgia feel fresh! You get classic riffage, simple styles, and vocals o’ yore which make for great driving and/or fucking music. This is one of those albums which inspires involuntary headbanging without the try-hard insanity that similar bands utilize. Same dude as this awesome band.

Unearth
Watchers Of Rule (eOne)
On a playlist with: Shadows Fall, Darkest Hour, It Dies Today
Read Kip Wingerschmidt MetalSucks review (here)
Listen “The Swarm” (here) Guards Of Contagion” (here)
Want to know anything and everything about the new Unearth record? Well, read our review. I’ll add this: Unearth was one of my first metal bands, with Slayer and Lamb Of God. They have a special place in my heart — I was instantly sold on the hyper-core riffage and punchy vocals and those hooky feels. So I know. This new jam is everything you’d want from an Unearth album, nothing more and nothing less.

Necrophagia
WhiteWorm Cathedral (Season of Mist)
On a playlist with: Pungent Stench, Autopsy, Mortician
Listen WhiteWorm Cathedral full stream (here)
Necrophagia offers up old skool with the modern post-production guitarwork we all pretend to hate. There haven’t been any recent releases quite so fucking heavy in the riff department. There certainly haven’t been any lateley which sound so purely metal.
·
Hideous Divinity
Cobra Verde (Unique Leader)
On a playlist with: Hour Of Penance, Odious Mortem, Spawn Of Possession
Listen “Cobra Verde” (here)
Blackened technical death with just the right amount of pretension. Sounds good, no? Hideous Divinity might be a new name in your lexicon, but bringing you fresh jams weekly is what STCOT is all about! You should feel that little hng inside your gut when you rock Cobra Verde, not only cause it’s sparkling clean, but also because it’s not your mommy’s death metal.

Obliterations
Poison Everything (Southern Lord)
On a playlist with: Alpha & Omega, Poison Idea, Black Mountain
Listen Poison Everything full stream (here)
Are you ever bothered by those albums with a ton of two-minute songs? Like, feeling the need for more? Now, Poison Everything makes a strong fucking case for the short-form way of doing things. You’ll get punky and hardcore vibes, but that’s not the point — pay attention to the paper-shearing, distinctively California vocals instead. Good shit among the wave of death-y releases this week!

Anaal Nathrakh
Desideratum (Metal Blade)
On a playlist with: Belphegor, Mistriss, Fukpig
Read Sammy O’Hagar MetalSucks review (here)
Listen Desideratum full stream (here)
Some things are best left to the pros. Anaal Nathrakh have been at it for thousands of years (so it seems), and their brand of sonic insanity hasn’t aged a bit. There’s some Element X about their onslaught — whether it’s the sickened insanity akin to Ulcerate or the earthiness that Lord Mantis has co-opted. Regardless, Desideratum is a must-listen.
