What will those hipsters think of next?
Wait. Close The Hatch offers a Neurosis-inspired post-sludge? Are the hipsters into that now too?
Bah. Who gives a piss? That cephalopod should be on a t shirt and the tunes are good. Click the title link to download the free EP.
Wholly new to me because I’ve only heard of a few of these bands and haven’t listened to any of them.
Klonosphere is a French promoter and since the French have been killing it lately, I’m sure this will introduce me (and you) to some great bands.
Walden is another one of those outfits serving up atmospheric, folksy black metal or Cascadian Black Metal. That’s not a bad thing. In fact, …Isolation is quite good but be prepared, it is a rough recording.
It’s available at the duo’s Bandcamp for the humble price of free. Check it out.
Why bother with a clever-ish title? Free sells itself.
No Clean Singing has links to a few free full album downloads by Keith Merrow, The Sequence Of Prime & Dödaren.
Click the title link and download your balls off.
Yep, that says “Ihsahn.” Yep, that says “world premiere.”
According to The Amenta, a proposed Facebook ad featuring the above album cover of the group’s forthcoming EP, Chokehold, was rejected for being “too extreme.”
Hell, that sounds like a selling point. Imagine, “The Amenta: Too extreme for Facebook!” Lemonade from lemons, anyone?
If you’re interested in hearing what “The band too brutal for Facebook” sounds like, their 2011 full-length, V01D is a free download. Just click the title link to be “Transported to a land too punishing for Facebook.”
Then, click the little “Download Audio” link to get the album “too devastatingly crushing for Faaaaaceboooook!!!”
Looking at the tags shown on Trenchgrinder’s Bandcamp page you come across “stench”. Anyone else never hear of that?
I digress.
The subject death/war/crust/grind/stench/thrash band’s demo is available for free download on the aforementioned bandcamp page. Trenchgrinder features ex-Attake members.
Per Grim Kim, “Bolt Thrower-worshipping riffs, breakneck d-beat machinegun blasts, punk as fuck speed, devilishly murky tones – it doesn’t get much better than this.”
Indeed.

Independent label Crucial Blast has released a free 23 track digital sampler featuring their artists.
If nothing else, download it to hear what a band named Lucifer’s Foreskin sounds like.
Crucial, gang. Crucial.
I hope Serious Beak gets tons of attention because they’re doing everything so incredibly right.
First of all, the digital copy of their latest, Huxwhukw, is available for “name your own” price.
Second, they state the brand of t-shirt that’s emblazoned with the rad cover art from Huxwhukw. I wish EVERY band did that! No wonder it’s sold out.
Third, the raw audio from Huxwhukw is also available for free download for fans to remix. The band was accepting fan remix submissions up to the first of this month with the intent to release the best in a special digital compilation, later!
