White Denim, 12 (Bella Union):
The band’s 12th studio effort incorporates elements of 70s garage rock into their usual soul and jazz-tinged post-punk/southern rock sound.
Low Harness, Salvo (Krautpop!):
The band’s debut album is a mix of “atonality and noise alongside expansive shoegaze and hypnotic krautrock.”
Until I Wake, Renovate (Fearless):
The band debuts their new singer, adding to a sound that Blabbermouth describes as “genre-bending,” blending “hip-hop, post-hardcore, metal and hard rock.”
Neckbreakker, Within The Viscera (Nuclear Blast):
The death metal band makes a big impression with their debut album.
The Old Dead Tree, Second Thoughts (Season of Mist):
After 17 years, the French progressive metal band release their fourth full-length album, a work that “dives deep into the brooding abyss of human experience.”
