A/V

Posted by RobInjection on April 10, 2012

We're gearing up to headto the Revolver Golden Gods Awards, but before we leave, let's take a gander at some new music…

Yet another new track from Brendon Small has made it's way online. Galaktikon comes out April 29th, the same day as the new season premiere of Metalocalypse. I have to say, this is the weakest of three songs heard so far.

New br00000tality from Cattle Decapitation. The band has posted a new track, "Lifestalker" streaming on Metal Hammer's website and this may be my favorite vocal performance from Travis Ryan yet. He can go high, he can go real low, he sounds like clearing his throat, there are some clean vocals, overall…this is a really epic track. I can't wait to hear Monolith of Humanity when it's released on May 8th on Metal Blade Records.

AOL is streaming two fantastic instrumental albums right now. Jeff Loomis's fantastic shred-opus Plains of Oblivion can be heard here. Secondly, Pelican are streaming their excellent EP Ataraxia/Taraxis right here. Both are definitely aided by the use of intoxicants.
