Death metal vets Six Feet Under have announced a new album, Killing for Revenge, arriving May 10th via Metal Blade Records. The opening track “Know-Nothing Ingrate” can be streamed now, offering a vicious tease of the full album to come.
Gut-punching rhythms blast away as frontman Chris Barnes spews misanthropy through coarse guttural vocals. It’s a smothering three minutes of frenetic death metal, which shouldn’t surprise anyone whose familiar with the band’s 30-plus years of output.
“I chose the title Killing for Revenge after we completed writing and noticed that all the lyrics and storylines had a common theme of revenge,” Barnes said of the LP in a press release. “Revenge by human or revenge by nature. The album title describes the flow of the stories within the lyrics perfectly.”
Killing for Revenge will be the second album released under the Six Feet Under name since Barnes...

Job for a Cowboy have announced their fist new album in nearly 10 years, Moon Healer, arriving February 23rd via Metal Blade Records. The LP’s closing track, “The Forever Rot,” can be streamed now.
Following a long hiatus, the technical death metal act recently returned with the single “The Agony Seeping Storm,” marking the group’s first new material since 2014’s Sun Eater (and nabbing our Heavy Song of the Week honor in the process).
Like that song, “The Forever Rot” is a winding piece with serious compositional might. The prog factor is upped quite a bit compared to the first single, with riffs connecting to one another in a semi-linear fashion. The band displays a keen sense of dynamics as it traverses these dense passages of guitar, and Jonny Davy’s vocals cut through all the while.
“On Moon Healer, we explore a concept centered around a close friend...

Carnifex have returned with the title track for their newly announced album Necromanteum, arriving October 6th.
As one of the chief proliferators of deathcore, Carnifex are able use their medium as a storytelling format — not unlike Iron Maiden (though Carnifex are much more extreme sonically). Such is the case for “Necromanteum,” a Poe-esque tale of the macabre. The eerie video directed by Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera only adds to the sense of foreboding with its Poltergeist and Blair Witch callbacks.
Reads the band’s premise for the track: “Decades ago, wealthy intellectuals began installing psychomanteum in their homes; a secret room completely filled with mirrors, or a single mirror, and in complete darkness, in order to speak to the dead in other dimensions, and gain their knowledge … what if you could use that kind of room to speak with death, itself?”
The album was co-produced by Jason Suecof, vocalist Scott Ian Lewis,...
