New Music 8/3/15

Date: August 3, 2015

Here's the new music added this week:

Trivium - Silence in the Snow

This new song was written in the Shogun Trivium days, and you can easily tell that from the instrumental work, but the singing is almost power/symphonic metal influenced. It is crazy how good of a singer Matt Heafy has become recently.

RIYL: Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Wovenwar

Clutch - X-Ray Visions

You should know what to expect from new Clutch at this point, but this is one of the catchiest Clutch songs that I've heard. I was lucky enough to see the band play the new album live, and it is probably one of their best efforts to date so keep your eyes out for this one!

RIYL: Fu Manchu, Orange Goblin, Corrosion of Conformity

Motorhead - Electrcity

Motorhead have perfected the Motorhead formula. This sounds exactly how you'd think a Motorhead song would sound, but that is not a bad thing at all.

RIYL: Motorhead

Fear Factory - Soul Hacker

I'm getting a real Edgecrusher vibe from this track, but so does Dino, so I can't be too off base on that. But like two tracks above, they really stuck true to their formula on this song. If you liked Fear Factory, even a little but, you'll love this.

RIYL: Chimaira, Coal Chamber, Soulfly

Russkaja - Slap Your Face

This is easily one of the most interesting things that I have ever heard. They describe themselves as Russia Turbo Polka, which basically translates to Russian ska. Along with this song, they have some hilarious covers of Roar by Katy Perry. Get Lucky by Daft Punk and Wake me Up by Avicii.

RIYL: Ska

Chemical Burn - I Rise, I Fly

A really cool groove metal band from the Bay Area, California. This album was produced by Juan Ureaga (Exodus, Testament, Machine Head, Cattle Decapitation, basically every California band you can think of) so you know it's going to be good.

RIYL: Lamb of God, DevilDriver, God Forbid

If you see something you like, be sure to request it! We'll be playing all of these tracks and more on 89.5 FM WSOU!
