Die Choking IV

21 New Metal Songs Out This Week

One of the biggest metal releases this week is the great new Crypt Sermon album, which I reviewed for Notable Releases (along with the metal-adjacent Chelsea Wolfe album), and you can head to Invisible Oranges’ Upcoming Metal Releases for even more of this week’s new metal albums, including Ulver offshoot Dold Vorde ens Navn, Weeping Sores, Haunter, Nightfell, Cloud Rat, Eye Flys (mem Full of Hell, Backslider), and more. We also got new singles from Ghost, Cloak, Exhumed, Coffins, Skullshitter, Cannabis Corpse, Die Choking, and more. Read on for all the metal (and metal adjacent) songs we posted on BV this week…

GHOST – “KISS THE GO-GOAT”

Occult rockers Ghost are back with a new song off their upcoming 7″, which you can read more about here.

CLOAK – “INTO THE STORM”

Cloak have shared the second single off their anticipated sophomore album The Burning Dawn (due October 25th via Season of Mist), and like lead single “Tempter’s Call,” the new “Into the Storm” is a killer blend of classic rock and black metal that Tribulation fans should not sleep on, It comes with a an eerie, black-and-white video with performance footage that was shot and directed by members of Cloak.

EXHUMED – “NAKED, SCREAMING, AND COVERED IN BLOOD” (NSFW)

Exhumed’s anticipated new album Horror pays homage to VHS-era horror flicks, and so does the new video for new single “Naked, Screaming, and Covered In Blood.” The video depicts the title very literally, so as you may expect, this is really not something you should be watching at work. So if you’re in the right environment, give it a whirl.

COFFINS – “IMPURITIOUS MINDS”

Japanese death metallers Coffins are back with another song off their new album Beyond The Circular Demise, which drops next week via Relapse.

SKULLSHITTER – “LAVA SEED”

“Lava Seed” is the latest track released off the upcoming Skullshitter/Bleeding Out split, and you can read more about it here.

CANNABIS CORPSE – “BLUNT FORCE DOMAIN”

Weed and pun-obsessed death metallers Cannabis Corpse have shared another ripper from their upcoming Nug So Vile.

DIE CHOKING – “MECHANICAL VENTILATOR”

Philly grinders Die Choking are releasing their first album in four years, IV, on October 22 via DCIVE, and the first single is the skull-crushing “Mechanical Ventilator.” Listen to it and read an interview with the band at Decibel.

NECRONOMICON – “SINGULARIS DOMINUS”

Canadian blackened death metallers Necronomicon are releasing their new album Unus on October 18 via Season of Mist, and you can stream the ominous, orchestral “Singularis Dominus” now.

CONSUMER (mem HAVE A NICE LIFE) – “MASSIVE SUBSIDIES”

Not only are Have A Nice Life finally releasing their first new album in five years, related band Consumer have a new LP, In Computers, due October 25 via The Flenser. Consumer features Tim Macuga from Have a Nice Life along with HANL’s live band, and new single “Massive Subsidies” is a dose of dark rock that HANL fans will probably like.

NEVER ENDING GAME – “GOD FORGIVES…”

Detroit’s Never Ending Game (who share members with Freedom, True Love, and Detain) are releasing their new album Just Another Day on October 11 via Triple B Records, and first single “God Forgives…” is a white-knuckling hardcore crusher with a couple flashes of fancy metallic leads.

MINDFIELD – “SACRIFICE OF THE SKIN”

Somewhere between the crossover thrash revival and the metalcore revival exists Florida’s Mindfield, who are releasing a self-titled EP next week (9/20) and streaming this bruiser of a new song now.

HANDS OF GOD – “TWO SHOTZ” & “MURDERING OF SOULS”

San Jose metallic hardcore crushers Hands of God dropped a new two-song promo on Flatspot Records, and both songs are total rippers. “‘2 Shotz’ is about my friend Chris who passed away fighting a heroin addiction,” vocalist Jefferey Wang tells Revolver. “It expands on my own dealings with addiction, as well as how I dealt with the loss of my friend. ‘Murdering of Souls’ is a song I’d rather people interpret for themselves. It’s pretty obvious to me, but I’m curious as to how people perceive my words on this one.”

BLACKWATER HOLYLIGHT – “DEATH REALMS”

Portland’s Blackwater Holylight have shared another song off their upcoming album Veils of Winter, and this one’s a dose of dark, atmospheric psychedelia.

TOUCHE AMORE – “DEFLECTOR”

GHOST – “MARY ON A CROSS”

Ghost just announced a deluxe box set version of their 2018 album Prequelle, that includes a bonus 7″ with two new songs. We heard “Kiss the Go-Goat” already, and here’s the second track, the psychedelic “Mary On A Cross.”

THE NUMBER TWELVE LOOKS LIKE YOU – “GALLERY OF THRILLS”

NJ mathcore vets The Number Twelve Looks Like You are releasing their first album in a decade next week, and they’ve shared a third new single, “Gallery of Thrills,” which takes you for a wild ride as it jumps continuously between genres.

HOMEWRECKER – “CREATE SIN” & “BROKEN BELIEFS”

Ohio metallic hardcore rippers Homewrecker are about to head out on tour with Venom Prison, and just ahead of that they’ve dropped two new singles, “Create Sin” and “Broken Beliefs.” About the new tracks, guitarist and vocalist Matt Barnum says, “these songs are the best representation of us and our sound. Punk, metal, and hardcore are constantly in our rotation and always will be. Love it or hate it, this is Homewrecker.”

REFUSED – “REV 001”

Refused are releasing their first album since 2015, War Music, next month, and they’ve shared another new single, “Rev 001.” About it, the band says, “#REV001 is a protest song. A punkrock song. We like to think of it as incredibly violent pop music. Whatever you call it, we’re hoping it’ll get your blood boiling and that it’ll make you wanna dance (like it does our fearless captain @dennislyxzen in the video), ‘cause what else can one do in these desperate times? Well, we at the bottom could arm ourselves and go for those at the top, while smashing a few banks on the way? We’ll get there. Like we said, these things happen all the time.”

INSOMNIUM – “HEART LIKE A GRAVE”

Finnish melodic death metallers Insomnium are releasing their anticipated new album, Heart Like a Grave, on October 4, and they’ve shared the title track, a gloomy but ultimately cathartic trek through infectious riffs and haunting atmosphere.

AGNOSTIC FRONT – “SPRAY PAINTED WALLS”

NYHC vets Agnostic Front shared the first single from their upcoming twelfth studio LP, GET LOUD!, which we wrote more about here.
