Been wondering where the weekly run-down of new music went? Well, releases are typically very slow for December and January, so I put the column on a bit of hiatus, to be put back to use ‘whenever I felt like it.’ However, this month has been surprisingly good for new releases and I figured I’d full you guys in on the music that was put out in the month of January. Here’s what we’ve got:

JANUARY 10th:

• Blut Aus Nord – 777 – The Desanctification (Season Of Mist)
• Enter Shikari - A Flash Flood Of Colour (Hopeless)
• Thy Catafalque – Rengeteg (Season Of Mist)

JANUARY 17th:

• Attack Attack! – This Means War (Rise)
• Buck Satan & The 666 Shooters – Bikers Welcome, Ladies Drink Free (AFM Records)
• Everything Went Black – Cycles Of Light (Prosthetic Records)
• Loincloth – Iron Balls of Steel (Southern Lord)

JANUARY 24th:

• ††† – EP †† (Self-released)
• Abigail Williams – Becoming (Candlelight)
• Aborted – Global Flatline (Century Media)
• Blessed By A Broken Heart – Feel The Power (Tooth & Nail)
• Dodecahedron – Dodecahedron (Season Of Mist)
• Lacuna Coil – Dark Adrenaline (Century Media)
• Lamb Of God – Resolution (Epic)
• Nothengal – Decadence (Season Of Mist)

JANUARY 31st:

• Alcest – Les Voyages de L’Ame (Prophecy)
• Bleeding Through – The Great Fire (Rise)
• I Exist – II: The Broken Passage (Prosthetic)
• Liberteer – Better To Die on Your Feet Than Live On Your Knees (Relapse)
• Metallica – Beyond Magnetic (Warner Bros.)

And that’s it, for the most part! We’ll begin running the column regularly until there’s a lull in the releases again. Now go and catch up on the new music.

Good day, everyone! As always, here’s what this week’s new releases look like. Not much, but this list is super solid.

Austrian Death Machine – Jingle All The Way (Metal Blade)
Boris – New Album (Sargent House)
Chevelle – Hats Off To The Bull (Epic)
Cormorant – Dwellings (Self-released)
Korn – The Path Of Totality (Roadrunner)
Rammstein – Made In Germany 1995-2011 (Vagrant)

There’s some probably less obvious albums I missed, but that’s what we’ve got this week. Have a good one!

Good day, everyone! Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving! As expected, we don’t have much for you this week, but what we do have rocks tits.

Abnormal Thought Patterns – Abnormal Thought Patterns EP (CynNormal Lab)
Devin Townsend Project – Contain Us [Box Set] (Century Media)
The Rotted – Ad Nauseum (Candlelight)
Vildhjarta – Måsstaden (Century Media)

New releases will pick back up around the start of the year. Hopefully.

Holy cow, it’s the week of Thanksgiving! There’s a lot to be thankful for, like 2011 being a great year for music and tours, but unfortunately not in the case of new releases this week. In fact, this week’s releases is just about pitiful. I debated on not including a picture to accompany this post, but I figure a Behemoth compilation album was the best bet this week. Edit: The new Fallujah album comes out this week, and it is absolutely killer.

• Asking Alexandria – Stepped Up And Scratched (Sumerian)
• Behemoth – Demonica [Compilation] (Metal Blade)
• Fallujah – The Harvest Wombs (Unique Leader)
• Hollywood Undead – American Tragedy Redux (A&M/Octone)
• In The Midst Of Lions – Shadows (Facedown)
• Saving Grace – The King Is Coming (Facedown)
• Stillwell – Surrounded By Liars (Nu Day Records)

Terrible week of releases aside, try to have a good week and a fantastic Thanksgiving — assuming you’re American, that is. If not, eat an absurd amount of food anyway. Perhaps you could have a salad?

Cynic – Carbon-Based Anatomy (Season Of Mist)
Esoteric – Paragon Of Dissonance (Season of Mist)
Wolves At The Gate – We Are The Ones (Solid State)

Right on. Have a good week!
