Photo: Burning Witches (from their Facebook page) By Rich Hobson, Louder | With Spring now in full-flow and Inferno marking an (unofficial) start to the year’s festival season, it feels like we’re getting well and truly through 2023 at breakneck pace. But not so fast as to miss a fresh helping of brilliant new music, of course!
Last week’s vote saw the arrival of massive players Metallica and The Hu, though surprisingly neither band made it to a podium finish. Extreme metal veterans Cattle Decapitation took the top spot by some margin – testament to that band’s continued brilliance at punishing brutality – with Polynesian newcomers Shepherd’s Reign taking a very admirable second place and heavy metal heroines Burning Witches knocking Metallica out of the final spot.
But this week we’re back with former champions Therapy?, alongside a host of emergent talent in the form of Holding Absence, Graywave, Swollen Teeth, Ten56. and more all vying for vote dominance. As ever, let us know which track tickled your tastebuds the most in the vote below!
Therapy? – Poundland Of Hope And Glory
Holding Absence – A Crooked Melody
Godflesh – Nero
Grave Pleasures – High On Annihilation
Swollen Teeth – Lethal
Graywave – Blur Into One
Ten56. – Choky
Dying Wish – Torn From Your Silhouette
Defying Decay – 21 Stitches
SWARM6IX – $ocial $uicide
