Invisible Oranges - The Metal Blog

Here, four powerful albums released last month come together under our pens -- here's what we found to be most compelling from another month of truly top-shelf metal releases.

We're streaming the hard-hitting opening song from blackened death metal act Dearth's upcoming full-length "To Crown all Befoulment" -- this one seems especially appropriate.

Two weeks of tunes! All the new metal released between May 24th and May 30th, 2020, plus upcoming tunes this week. Spin (or skip) new music from End, -(16)-, Death Courier, and more.

Dealing out thoughtful, brutalizing sludge, Empress offers up a track from their upcoming debut full-length "Premonition" -- stream the eight-minute "Hiraeth" now.

The band's 12th studio album saw the return of Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith in a revamped six-piece format that achieved musical perfection -- here, we look back on this marvel of metal's unkillable spirit.

Looking back to the first days of fuzz, the German vintage hard rock trio conjures a strangely upbeat take on nostalgic doom -- stream their upcoming fourth full-length now.

It's also the band's first album since Pete Adams left Baroness.

On their second full-length, this Russian melodic death metal outfit proves capable and powerful -- stream the new single "Escapist" from the upcoming album "Stargazers" now.

Extreme metal meets jazz in this unforgettably-named combination, offering up the fifth segment of their upcoming album "Baikal" -- stream it now.

Here's our dive into the debut album from Portland trio Tithe -- within the sludge-ridden death metal depths of "Penance," we saw nightmares.
