Welp folks. We're about to hit that dry period of album releases. Most labels have already pushed their best stuff and are prepping for 2015. I'd say we've gone one more really big week. This week…isn't it. We do have new releases from the Brazilian brothers you love so much, some goths, and more. To the metals…
Cavalera Conspiracy – Pandemonium 
Genre: Thrash/Groove metal
Origin: Phoenix, Arizona by way of Brazil
Label: Napalm
Buy now on Amazon.com
Pretty straight forward thrash with unmistakable Cavalera influence. The Cavaleras, Marc Rizzo and (new bassist) Nate Newton may have created their most diverse and pissed off offering under this moniker.
Devilment – The Great and Secret Show 
Genre: Blackened rock
Origin: Ipswich, England
Label: Nuclear Blast
Buy now on Amazon.com
Oh boy. This sure is something. Dani Filth, whom I actually hold a place in my heart from my early metal years, should just stick to that not-quite-black metal that he does so well. While this does have moments that have potential, over all it seems a tad elementary for a group of established musicians.
Liv Kristine – Vervain 
Genre: Gothic rock
Origin: Stavanger, Norway
Label: Napalm
Buy now on Amazon.com
Oh weird! Liv sang on the Cradle of Filth track "Nymphetamine" and is now sharing a release date with her once collaborator. Ok, weird is a strong word. Anyway, Kristine has a lovely operatic voice and she sings beautifully here. Musically it's more of what she usually sings over, but perhaps mid-tempo 4/4 chugging of standard chord progressions is your thing. This isn't really about the music though. Kristine is totally the star here.
Toothgrinder – Schizophrenic Jubilee EP 
Genre: Progressive metal
Origin: Asbury Park, New Jersey
Label: Spinefarm
Buy now on Amazon.com
Like Dillinger Escape Plan with Between The Buried and Me's sense of adventure. A truly unique and wonderful musical journey through many levels of chaos. Sample a bit here.
