The releases keep coming and they don't stop coming, with the return of Lamb of God, The Cult, Goatwhore and many more, in addition to our top picks.
Top Pick
Get the Shot – Merciless Destruction (hardcore, crossover)
There are albums that go hard, and then there's Merciless Destruction. The two tracks they previously released were enough to level a city block each on their own and the eight other songs on offer here all match the same level of cartoonish intensity and aggression. You might want to clear some room for this one.
