Baratro (feat. Dave Curran of Unsane), The Sweet Smell of Unrest (Improved Sequence): The debut album from Unsane bassist Dave Curran’s new project promises to be “a maelstrom of stabbing distortion, breakneck rhythms and titan-sized bass lines that charge ahead mercilessly.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

KMFDM, Let Go (Metropolis): Celebrating 40 years of defying genres, the band says their 23rd studio effort “command(s) you to let go of precept and pretense, to hold on tight, leave your worries behind, and get ready to rock!”
