***RIVERS OF NIHIL***
Sixteen years and five albums into the Pennsylvania band's career, progressive death metal progenitors Rivers of Nihil are upping the ante with the self-titled album "Rivers of Nihil".
The new album's first single of 2025, "House of Light" (out Feb. 6, 2025) is a track the band believes "encapsulates the nature of what it is that we do perfectly while offering a different perspective on the sound with the new lineup," says Uttley, who also plays piano and does the programming in the band. "Everything that our fans have come to love about our sound is demonstrated in this song with the new addition of Andy singing and Biggs on main vocals. It has the riffs, it has the big chorus, it has the prog, it has the solos, it has the sax. Just a classic example of what we do as a band in 2025."

***HOLY FAWN***
"Holy Fawn aren't strictly a metal band, but they are undeniably heavy. Their second album, Dimensional Bleed – released towards the end of 2022, and co-produced with Mike Watts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Glassjaw) – is a wild ride, taking elements of post-rock, blackgaze, goth, post-punk, dream pop and grunge, and manipulating them all into a brand new super-strain of alternative music. Too dreamy for hardcore, too abrasive for indie, too pretty for straight metal… they’re slippery suckers..."
Vocalist Ryan Osterman says "We are emotionally heavy,” Ryan says. “It’s not traditional heaviness, but it’s heavier music. We use a lot of fuzz pedals. I think exploring that space between really heavy guitars and something a little more… let’s call it beautiful, is something I enjoy.” Bassist Alex Reith adds "“If I had to label it then I think we’re post-metal. I say that as I’m a huge fan of Isis, and I think we occupy the same emotional space that they do. I’m not sure everyone would agree, but it makes me happy to think of it in those terms.” - Louder Sound

***INTER ARMA***
Inter Arma's music resists generalization and categorization, but one thing that's consistently true, is that the VA quintet possesses an unparalleled sense of scope. Few artists convey the complexity that INTER ARMA (Latin for "in times of war") does. The band creates terrible and often hauntingly beautiful portraits of humanity through music that is deeply organic yet still mystical and modern.
"A virtual symphony of pummeling, dissonant riffs sculpted with unrelenting precision." - Pitchfork

***GLACIAL TOMB***
The Denver, CO trio have embraced the foundations of sludge-corrupted death and black metal from their debut album while levelling up instrumental technicality and nuanced songwriting for their second full length studio album, "Lightless Expanse" which was released via Prosthetic Records on September 20, 2024. GLACIAL TOMB refuses to fit neatly within the parameters of any one genre, and their sound is all the richer for it. "Lightless Expanse" is a multi-layered exploration of heavy metal in all its complex and cathartic glory.
