Embrace the adventurous oddity found in these releases by Februus, Green Carnation, Sigh, Sun Guts and Sworn. The major releases aren't free from weirdness either: 156/Silence – From A Distance (metalcore) Chat Pile – Who Loves The Sun (noise rock/sludge metal) Judiciary – Stalagmite Angels (EP) (metallic hardcore) A Night In Texas – The Darkest Side of Humanity (deathcore) PRESIDENT – Blood Of Your Empire (metalcore/alternative rock) Showing Teeth – A Fate Worse Than Lonelin

A decent mix of flavors this week, offering a respite from my incessant pushing of death metal, with releases from Apolaustic, Bloody Valkyria, Green Carnation, Toxic Shock and Void Of Light. There's no massive releases this week, but a handful of familiar faces: Corrosion Of Conformity – Good God/Baad Man (stoner/sludge metal) Nervosa – Slave Machine (melodic death/thrash metal) Sunn O))) – Sunn O))) (drone/doom metal) TOP PICK OF THE WEEK Void Of Light – Asymmetries
