Just in time for the weekend, we have a full stream of the brand new self titled record from San Diego’s brutal death reps Pathology. With a somewhat familiar lineup back in the midst, Pathology have had their longest break from releasing a full length since inception, but slammin’ riff junkies don’t have to wait any longer. We got the goods. Definitely one of the nastier premieres we’ve had in awhile, over the jump you’ll find the West Coasts most active death outfit, burning through a half hour of typically punishing brutal death material. Put the kids to bed, hide all sharp objects, grab a hammer.
Each month, we always seem to come to the same conclusion when it comes to our Editors’ Picks column: Friday release days open the floodgates and unleash a seemingly endless stream of quality new music. But while some of our Editors and Contributors sit down gleefully each week to dive into this newly stocked treasure trove, others find themselves drawing a blank at the end of the month due to the breakneck pace needed to keep up to date with what’s been released. Which brings us to this Heavy Blog PSA: a weekly roundup of new albums which pares down the the week’s releases to only our highest recommendations. Here you’ll find full album/single streams, pre-order links and, most importantly, a collection of albums that could very well earn a spot on your year end list. Enjoy!
For those who missed our last installment, We post biweekly updates covering what the staff at Heavy Blog have been spinning. Given the amount of time we spend on the site telling you about music that does not fall neatly into the confines of conventional “metal,” it should come as no surprise that many of us on staff have pretty eclectic tastes that range far outside of metal and heavy things. We can’t post about all of them at length here, but we can at least let you know what we’re actually listening to. For those that would like to participate as well (and please do) can drop a 3X3 in the comments, which can be made withtapmusic.netthrough your last.fm account, or create it manually with topsters.net. Also, consider these posts open threads to talk about pretty much anything music-related. We love hearing all of your thoughts on this stuff and love being able to nerd out along with all of you.
Elusive Russian death metal act Abominable Putridity exploded onto the slam scene in 2012 with the release of their celebrated record The Anomalies of Artificial Origin. Featuring vocals from Pathology’s Matti Way, the record was expertly crafted brutal death metal that was strangely catchy, bringing slam to a new audience…
San Diego death metal stalwarts Pathology have unleashed a new track titled ‘Harvest’ from the forthcoming album Throne of Reign, set to drop August 5 from their own imprint, Pathology Music. The band initially shared a Lambgoat article from their Facebook page which failed to specify the pre-production nature of the…
Pathology, the band that cannot be stopped from releasing one new album every single year, are eyeing up plans for a new record in 2014. Unlike previous outings however, that saw the band release through both the blood-splattered hands of Sevared Records and the glitter-sparkled gnarled claws of Victory Records,…
Brutal death metal band Pathology — who have notoriously changed lineups and labels like underwear — must have decided to forgo the trouble of hunting for a new label, as they’ve announced plans to start their own label, Pathology Music, in 2014. There’s not a lot known about the label…
The most prolific band in death metal is back. Pathology, who so far have managed an album every year for the last four years, have begun the build up to the release of Lords Of Rephaim. This marks their first release for Sevared Records, closing the chapter on their time at none other than…
Apparently this news is two months old, but I’m only just recently hearing about it! I suppose that’s what happens when you go from a label with the marketing power of Victory Records to a tiny indie label. Pathology, possibly the most well known slam act, will be releasing a…
