The black/death band releases two albums tomorrow. We spoke to the band about this dual release.

Despite undergoing constant change and no shortage of difficulties, the Bay Area (San Francisco, Oakland, etc.) remains a significant stronghold for American heavy metal—and especially death metal. This in-depth feature includes perspectives from key bands (Ripped to Shreds, Vastum) and labels (Sentient Ruin Laboratories, Carbonized Records).

Eight of us teamed up to collect our favorite heavy albums of June 2020 -- if you need a shortlist of new albums that will rocket your mind into the cosmos, look no further.

All the new metal releasing between June 14th and June 20th, 2020 (plus last week's releases) -- spin (or skip) new music from Hail Spirit Noir, Lamb of God, Vile Creature, and more.

The second taste of the anticipated new death metal full-length is here.

Currently an editor at Bandcamp, you've also seen Zoe's metal writing at Revolver, Pitchfork, CLRVYNT, and more. She stopped by to let IO know what she liked best this year.

All the new metal (and otherwise) fit to spin (or skip) from 11/4-11/10/2018.
