Welcome to Fresh Metal, where I talk a bit about new, heavy releases. This week I went back to how I started with this: a little more personal. I've picked out a few favourites again to add a bit of context and focus to the otherwise soup of names.
What you may know by now: my metallic detections here are mostly based on what I collect for the playlist I keep on Spotify. You can support via Patreon. Don't forget to sign up to the newsletter. Here goes Fresh Metal #115.
New albums
My favourites this week: Vader (death/thrash from Poland) weren't really for me for a long time, until I saw them live. Like a tank that get's launched from a stage into the crowd, starts shooting it's cannon until the show's over. That band is a machine. In times where live shows are gone for who knows how long, it's nice to at least have a new record from these guys.
Jacob Bannon, frontman of the mighty Converge also heads Wear Your Wounds, his introvert, melancholic side. But after that he wanted to venture more into metal and started Umbra Vitae (death/grind from the USA) with members of The Red Chord (also in WyW), Twitching Tongues and Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats. Great energy!
Golden Ashes (atmoblack from the Netherlands) is one of the many interesting projects of Dutch musician Maurice de Jong, most notably known with Gnaw Their Tongues. His music can be harsh and jarring, but within Golden Ashes' thick layers of synth it glows like the end of a hot summer day - a day where something went terribly wrong...
