Don’t forget to check out our weekly playlist below. Enjoy!
Chelsea Wolfe, She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She (Loma Vista): The singer/songwriter’s seventh studio effort, which Paste called both “melodic, pop-friendly” and “dark, immersive, ethereal and brutal,” was at least partially informed by her journey to sobriety.
Infected Rain, Time (Napalm): The Moldovan heavy metal band described their sixth studio album as “an homage to every fleeting second, every heartbeat, and every breath that has led us to this moment.”
tAKiDA, The agony flame (Napalm): The Swedish rockers look to continue their growing international success with their 10th studio album and Napalm Records debut.
TSO, Hellcare (Independent): 90’s-tinged hard rockers release their most personal album yet, saying “Hellcare is our yin and yang album, it represents a new expansion in the band universe, both in the bright and dark side, and it’s about the subtle line between good and evil, where does one start and where the other finishes?.”
