Even though end-of-year lists are beginning to be on the minds of many, that hasn’t stopped a wealth of new releases from seeing the light of day. This week’s #NewMusicFriday is led by the return of The Cure. ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ is the goth rocker’s first new album in sixteen years.
At the other end of the scale is the long-awaited debut EP from Every Hell. With former members of Black Peaks involved, ‘Vertebrate’ sees the quartet hit the ground running with a set of raw and raucous songs. Dead Icarus sees former Atreyu frontman Alex Varkatzas team up with Gabe Mangold (Enterprise Earth) and Brandon Zackey to deliver ‘Zealot’. Their debut full-length flourishes with pummelling percussion, crushing riffs, and a healthy amount of Varkatzas’ screams. Scandinavian prog rockers VOLA release their fourth album, ‘Friend of a Phantom’.
NOLA metalcore outfit Cane Hill return with ‘A Piece Of Me I Never Let You Find’, their first full-length in six years.
Weezer mark the 30th anniversary of their self-titled ‘Blue’ album with a whole load of demos, radio sessions, and live bonuses. Likewise, InMe have boosted their 2003 debut, ‘Overgrown Eden’, with 10 additional tracks. While Movements‘ 2023 album, ‘RUCKUS’ gets the remix treatment, NOAHFINNCE tacks on some bonus tracks to give his ‘Growing Up On The Internet’ record the “deluxe edition” treatment.
Skillet, Tribulation, Portrayal Of Guilt, Authority Zero, happydaze, i Häxa, Saltwound, and Heart Of Gold are just some of the other names with new releases out today.
