June 12-18 Weekly Metal Recommendations
If you need even more metal in your life, I get all my info from https://www.metal-archives.com/ from which you can find upcoming releases, and from http://metalstorm.net/home/, from which you can find both upcoming and past releases although it is not as complete of a list compared to metal-archives.)
(I’m still using the rating system from our “New Releases” list although I will likely no longer be listing anything below a +2 unless it comes from a very well known band)
-1 - not for me or just bad
+0 - not particularly interesting or not that good
+1 - worth checking out if you like the style
+2 - interesting
+3 going on my buy list
+4 already bought or pre-ordered

Band: Alustrium
Release: A Monument to Silence
Style: Progressive/technical Death, Blackened Metal-core
+2
Band: Entierro
Release: El Camazotz (EP)
Style: Heavy
+3
(I normally wont give a +3 for an EP, but they choice in Judas Priest cover earned a bonus point. Normally “Exciter” is seen as the first traditional speed metal song, but “Call of the Priest” came first.)
Band: Fear Factory
Release: Aggression Continuum
Style: Industrial, Groove
+2
(I’m sure it’s good, but I don’t like industrial)
Band: The Day of the Beast
Release: Indisputably Carnivorous
Style: Death/Thrash, Black/Thrash
