End, a Will Putney side-project, now includes members from Misery Signals, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and more — the group’s debut full-length combines hardcore and grind into one heavy-as-fuck concoction.

This New Jersey death metal sextet (mem. Unearthly Trance, Artificial Brain, and more) recently dropped their debut “Beneath the Canopy of Compost” EP — it’s filthy, devastating death-doom and has us begging for more.

France’s Creature is one-man avant-garde metal taken to every dimensional extreme — sprawling, exceedingly technical, and totally mad, the project’s latest album “Ex Cathedra” hits shelves in late June. Here’s a taste now.

We’ve got an early stream of the abstract and elevating opening song from the Maurice de Jong black metal project Golden Ashes’ second full-length “The Lugubrious Silence of Eternal Night.”

We’ve got the full stream of Ulveblod’s debut full-length — formed by member Vitriol of retired black metal project Nihill, this latest iteration showcases the musician’s penchant for the noisy void.

We’re streaming a blackened and blasting new song from the London-based quartet’s upcoming full-length “The Eye is the First Circle” — trust us when we say it, this album tears space and time in twain.

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages and self-quarantine efforts are well underway, so too grows our collective cabin fever — relax (and occupy) your stay-at-home mind with these metal documentaries streaming now.

We’ve got the opening Vuur & Zijde song from an upcoming split with Impavida — hear how this newly formed black metal entity (mem. Laster, Nusquama, Terzij de Horde) soothes the mind with music so bleakly beautiful.

We’re streaming a powerful new song from Omega Infinity (mem. Todtgelichter and Ne Obliviscaris) — their debut release “Solar Spectre” is an ode to the cosmic void.
