At The Gates – Gardens of Grief (Century Media Records)
This EP goes back into the early days of the Swedish melodic death metal purveyors and I want to hear where they started. After all, Slaughter Of The Soul is one of the most important metal albums in my musical journey and I loved the absolute hell out of At War With Reality. To own this would simply be paying respect to a band that helped define my love of metal.
GWAR – America Must Be Destroyed (Metal Blade Records)
Hail Oderus! Hail the Scumdogs of the Universe!
They say that this album features a pop-up Gor-Gor in the gatefold. That right there is enough to make everyone get a copy.
Garbage – Chemicals (Stun Volume)
I fucking love Garbage and any chance to hear new material is okay with me! The two tracks that will on this 10″ will appear on the band’s upcoming sixth studio album (slated to come out later this year), so getting a little teaser in advance of this is rather exciting.
