EXMORTUS
IN HATRED'S FLAMES CD $11.99
Exmortus are an entity amongst themselves and their music, both complex and thoroughly hook-laden, refuses to lend itself to easy categorization. From the technical death-thrash riffage and surgically precise drumming to their neo-classical, twin virtuoso lead guitar attack, fans of death metal, thrash, prog metal, traditional heavy metal and all true metal sub-genres alike enjoy having their craniums crushed by EXMORTUS. |
THE ENEMY UK
WE'LL LIVE & DIE IN THESE TOWNS CD $11.99
Earlier this year, The Enemy UK was named the Best New Band by NME. The English group' s debut album had shot to #1 U.K. in its first week, and four of the tracks from that balls-out rock disc, We' ll Live And Die In These Towns, were Top 25 hits. Now The Enemy UK and the U.K. platinum We' ll Live And Die In These Towns come to America. Get ready to, once again, surrender to rock. |

SCARS ON BROADWAY S/T
CD $9.99
Scars on Broadway, the long-awaited collaboration between guitarist-frontman Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan, both best known for their work in the multi-Platinum-selling, Grammy-winning band SYSTEM OF A DOWN, has signed with Interscope Records and will see their self-titled debut released on July 29.With Malakian sitting in the Scars' producer chair, he and Dolmayan entered the studio last September, recorded nearly two-dozen songs for the album, and then whittled down the final track listing to 14 songs.Many of the Scars on Broadway songs had their genesis years ago. "I like to let my songs marinate over time, that helps determine which ones speak to me the loudest," explained Malakian. Malakian, who penned or co-penned SOAD classics such as "Aerials," "Chop Suey!," "Hypnotize," and "B.Y.O.B.", wrote the Scars songs mostly on keyboards and a drum machine. On the new scars material Malakian injects more rock than metal, citing influences from Iggy Pop to David Bowie to Neil Young. Different from the chaotic/alt/metal sound of SOAD, the Scars tracks are more song-based and showcase Malakian's varied writing style, from the simmering rock sound of "World Long Gone" to the melodic yet desolate "Universe." On the politically-tinged "3005," Malakian proves he is still as provocative as ever. |

On Friday, August 1@ 5pm, PROSTHETIC RECORDS RECORDING ARTISTS WITHERED will perform at EARSHOT before their gig at GROUND ZERO later that night! Here's a little about WITHERED:
"In December '07, withered signed to Prosthetic records. their 2nd full length was immediately named “one of the top 25 most anticipated albums of 2008” by Decibel magazine. "Folie Circulaire" hit the streets on June 24th of '08 and is already gaining tremendous praise. It transcends all sub-genres of extreme music effortlessly and with unsurpassed continuity. The lyrical content and theme of the album challenges you to open your mind and consider humanity's ugly truths. It features a cover of Necrophobic's Into Armageddon and Barney Greenway (Napalm Death) makes a guest vocal appearance on two tracks."
"9 out of 10 - Folie Circulaire sounds like a blackened cross between My Bloody Valentine and Morbid Angel." - Rod Smith for Decibel magazine |

SOULFLY CONQUER HM CD $13.99
ON SALE (price is subject to change without notice)
Soulfly' s sixth offering for Roadrunner Records, Conquer, may very well be the musical equivalent of the movie Braveheart. The songs much like the warriors in the film- channel raw, unbridled rage through a cacophony of thrash guitars, infectious grooves, tribal polyrhythms and Max Cavalera' s unmistakable, thunderous roar. On this record, Soulfly unleash a metallic mayhem unlike anything they' ve done previously. Conquer shifts from unrelenting, precise speed metal to slow, brooding doom. Marc Rizzo' s lead guitar rips with the precision of a smart bomb, while Bobby Burns grinds out volatile, chest-caving basslines. Drummer Joe Nunez crushes behind the kit, forging a rhythmic background for all-out sonic war. Once again, it' s the legendary Max Cavalera who stands at the eye of the storm, uniting the musical tribe and acting as its unofficial leader. His voice and guitar command the tribe into battle with each line and riff. Grab your war paint and prepare for the onslaught.

TORCHE MEANDERTHAL ROCK PICTURE LP $25.99
LIMITED EDITION PICTURE LP Vinyl Pressing of Meanderthal by Torche. Can a band be absolutely crushing yet sweepingly anthemic at the same time? Miami's Torche have not only figured this out, they've mastered it. Their third release, Meanderthal, is simultaneously oppressive and powerfully uplifting. Torche's gargantuan return to their patented megaheavy pop 'n' roll streamlines their form into brief and precise slabs of songwriting brilliance. Prepare to headbang while singing along at the top of your collapsed lungs as Meanderthal surpasses all groundwork laid by the band's self-titled debut and last year's In Return EP. Copious hooks abound and psychedelic swarms of drone weave throughout riff-wizardry while the sheer heaviness is downright overwhelming. |
