CROWQUILL just dropped âCANNULAâ, four minutes of chaotic metalcore recorded with no click and played straight through to keep the live-show mess intact.
âFuck it letâs do itâ is the bandâs whole operating system. Debut LP âSLEPT WITH CANNULAâ lands Nov 20 via DAZE / Hardlore.
In-your-face is putting it mildly. NERVE, Toronto bass-and-drum violence from the ashes of HOLY GRINDER, just dropped a three-song demo thatâs over before youâve even processed what hit you. 2:45 total. No Time Records.

HEADBUSSA just dropped âMANHUNTâ and this thing is mean as hell. Pure swing, metallic crunch and âEnd Your Line For Goodâ barked like a threat. Debut LP âSURVIVAL MEASURESâ lands Nov 13 via DAZE.

20 yrs of âInto Oblivionâ. Rise and Fallâs monster second LP is getting a fresh Deathwish pressing, newly remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The original was mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City, and it still sounds fucking vicious. Theyâre also back onstage Nov 7 in Ghent!
