New Releases From NOTHING MORE, 200 STAB WOUNDS & More Out Today 6/28


This week’s new heavy metal releases include nasty death metal, sad doom, cop cosplay, and more! To the metals…

200 Stab Wounds – Manual Manic Procedures

The Weekly Injection: New Releases From NOTHING MORE, 200 STAB WOUNDS & More Out Today 6/28

Genre: Death metal
Origin: Cleveland, Ohio
Label: Metal Blade

Buy now on Bandcamp

Between the name and the album art, you know what you’re getting into with Manual Manic Procedures. This is a heavy, violent, and evil sonic explosion of death metal. At some point in this column, I said something to the effect that we’re in another golden age of death metal, and this is another entry into that golden age. J. Andrew‘s review is right here.

Aberrance – Son of Dirt

The Weekly Injection: New Releases From NOTHING MORE, 200 STAB WOUNDS & More Out Today 6/28

Genre: Death/groove metal
Origin: Paradise, California
Label: Silence Pendulum

Buy now on Bandcamp

In the mood for some more nasty death metal? Well, great news! On the first Aberrance record in seven years, these NorCal lads are bringing you guttural vocals, crushing drums, and hefty grooves. Hits like a brick, and keeps on hitting.

Amarok – Resilience

The Weekly Injection: New Releases From NOTHING MORE, 200 STAB WOUNDS & More Out Today 6/28

Genre: Sludge/doom
Origin: Chico, California
Label: Vulture Print/Vendetta Records

Buy now on Bandcamp

With Resilience, we’re sticking to the greater NorCal area, but slowing things waaaaaaaaaaaaay the hell down, and getting heavy in more way than one. Sure this is heavy as fuck doom, but it partially inspired by the California wildfires that wrecked their area a bit ago.

Nothing More – Carnal

The Weekly Injection: New Releases From NOTHING MORE, 200 STAB WOUNDS & More Out Today 6/28

Genre: Alternative/progressive metal
Origin: San Antonio, Texas
Label: Better Noise

Buy now on Bandcamp

Now for a complete shift in tone across the board. Like every Nothing More record this album includes anthemic earworms and massive grooves throughout. This one is full of guests. You’re getting David Draiman (Disturbed), Sinizter, and Eric V (I Prevail).

White Stones – Memoria Viva

The Weekly Injection: New Releases From NOTHING MORE, 200 STAB WOUNDS & More Out Today 6/28

Genre: Progressive death metal
Origin: Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Label: Reigning Phoenix Music

Buy now on Amazon

On Memoria Viva, Opeth‘s Martín Méndez is back once again with his death metal sidepiece. Unsurprisingly, rhythmic weirdness is the star here, but it’s also just an odd album that keeps you guessing. Those that still miss the death metal side of Opeth (and still haven’t given this band a shot for some reason) should hop on now.

X-Cops – Xcab

The Weekly Injection: New Releases From NOTHING MORE, 200 STAB WOUNDS & More Out Today 6/28

Genre: Thrash/crossover
Origin: Richmond, Virginia… I think?
Label: Pit

Buy now on Bandcamp

Taking this week in for a landing with a brief but interesting EP. For the unfamiliar, X-Cops is a Gwar offshoot with members past and present performing dressed as police officers instead of alien monsters. It’s political while also tongue-in-cheek. This is their first outing in almost thirty years and it’s a wild return.
