Damn visa issues, always fucking everything up! Unfortunately, Hypocrisy were denied their visas to enter the US for their End of Disclosure tour.

June 11th marks the release date of Manifest Decimation - the debut Southern Lord LP from Texas crossover thrashers Power Trip. To wet the appetites of fans and the uninitiated alike, the band has premiered the title track from the album on Pitchfork.com.

With inspirations ranging from Converge, Don Caballero and Nirvana the Brooklyn, NY based band SUNWOMAN creates a very unique sound of their own that might be best described as a a meticulously planned shit storm.

Each week on ‘Throwback Thursday’ we dust off a crucial but underrated album, without which heavy metal’s evolution would have turned out quite differently. This week there’s even more dust involved than usual: as in Dust, the band, whose fingerprints are spread all over heavy metal’s formative past, difficult as it may be at first [...]

Each week on ‘Throwback Thursday’ we dust off a crucial but underrated album, without which heavy metal’s evolution would have turned out quite differently. This week’s chosen relic endured decades of neglect before reemerging as one of the most vital documents of heavy metal’s first global assault: Sir Lord Baltimore’s combustible Kingdom Come.
