It’s spooky season around these parts (not like you’d tell from the weather). Still, it’s time to let the slight nighttime chill come in through the window and put on some scary movies. Maybe gorge yourself on some candy because you’re a grown ass adult that don’t need to go begging for your treats. Or you can just check out the albums that came out today…
Behemoth
XXX Years Ov Blasphemy (Nuclear Blast)
Back in 2021, Behemoth put on a Hell of a 30th anniversary concert event where they played and filmed at three separate locations. The result was an incredibly cinematic experience where Nergal and the boys went off. They played fan favorites, they unearthed rarities, and it was all sick for 90 minutes. This is the live album/Blu-Ray/concert footage of that event and it’s badass.
Better Lovers
Highly Irresponsible (SharpTone Records)
Now this one’s been highly anticipated. By this point you should know that Better Lovers is a supergroup made up of former members of Every Time I Die, Fit for an Autopsy, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. And just by that information alone, you know this is going to be a banger. Literally everything they’ve put out since their inception has been an exciting take on those bands’ sounds while still offering something new and exciting. Don’t miss this one.
Devin Townsend
Powernerd (InsideOutMusic)
Everyone’s favorite madcap Canadian musical mastermind has returned for another solo effort. This time around, Powernerd is the result of just 11 days of writing — a process that Townsend himself said was to create something without overthinking it. It’s high energy, it’s fun, it’s incredibly well crafted, with enough of everything you love and expect from a Devin Townsend release.
Entheos
An End To Everything (Metal Blade Records)
Chaney Crabb and Navene Koperweis are back with their first new official release since last year’s full-length Time Will Take Us All. This time around, the duo have put out an EP that our reviewer C.C. Delorean absolutely dug. You can read his 4/5 review right now.
Gaerea
Coma (Season of Mist)
Portuguese avant-garde black metal outfit Gaerea are definitely pushing the boundaries of what to expect from them with the release of their latest album Coma. As the follow up to their 2022 album Mirage, this new offering boasts 10 new tracks that will absolutely take you places.
