Converge's Axe to Fall is one of my favorite albums of EVER, so I was pumped to see this pretty rad orchestral tribute to the opening track on the album, "Dark Horse." Awesome stuff.

Another new Dying Fetus track? Fuck yes! Oh, and it's downloadable? AND FREE? Thanks, Relapse Records. Listen to "Subjected to a Beating" and then download the sucker on the band's BandCamp page. Their new album, Reign Supreme comes out on June 19th.
