The Weekly Injection: New Releases From THE HALO EFFECT, SPOCK’S BEARD & More Out This Week 11/21

This week’s new heavy steel releases embrace Italian stoner riffs, Swedish melodic loss of life steel covers, and extra! To the metals…

Depravity – Bestial Possession

Style: Dying steel
Origin: Perth, Western Australia
Label: Transcending Obscurity Data

Purchase now from Bandcamp

Beginning this week off with some ripping loss of life steel from Australia. The band’s first album in 5 years is a heavy one which sounds just like the album cowl seems to be. There was only a knock at my door and I am fairly certain it is the… fish(?) from the duvet right here to squeeze my head. So pay attention with warning.

Dune Aurora – Ice Age Desert

Style: Stoner rock/steel
Origin: Turin, Italy
Label: Octopus Rising / Argonauta Data

Purchase now on Bandcamp

Subsequent up is straight-up riffage. This Italian trio hit like an Orange Goblin or a Crimson Fang however with vocal harmonies that add little bit of magnificence and a haunted vibe to the tracks. Tremendous cool document.

The Halo Impact – We Are Shadows

Style: Melodic loss of life steel
Origin: Gothenburg, Sweden
Label: Nuclear Blast

Purchase now on Nuclear Blast

Regardless that they launched a full document again in January, The Halo Impact guys are already again as a result of they by no means sleep. That is an EP of 5 songs initially by people like Danzig, WASP, Phenomena and extra. The melodic loss of life steel strategy is a little bit jarring on a few of these, however in a great way.

The Fairly Wild – zero.level.genesis

Style: Metalcore/nu steel
Origin: Las Vegas, Nevada
Label: Sumerian

Purchase now on from Sumerian

I fucking love how there appears to be a wave of bands that simply forego style partitions in a very fascinating method. The Fairly Wild have have bits that remind me of Poppy or The Nova Twins, however then they lean into nu steel and metalcore in methods these two acts do not. This can be a robust debut and I really feel like we’ll be listening to this identify rather a lot quickly sufficient.

Spock’s Beard – The Archaeoptimist

Style: Progressive rock
Origin: Los Angeles, California
Label: Madfish Data

Purchase now on Bandcamp

Now here is one from the outdated prog canines (like me). Album quantity fourteen is Spock’s Beard‘s first in seven years and is a traditional progressive rock journey. That is their first with Nick Potters on drums the dude is a beast.

Stryper – The Biggest Present Of All

Style: Christmas/glam rock
Origin: Orange County, California
Label: Frontiers Music s.r.l.

Purchase now on Amazon

It actually looks as if a Christmas album from Stryper would have occurred like forty years in the past, however that is their first one. They’re taking over all of the hits like “Winter Wonderland,” “Little Drummer Boy,” and “Silent Evening.” No “All I Need For Christmas is You” or “Final Christmas” although. Perhaps on the subsequent one fellas?
