It's kind of ironic that one of Australia's most disgustingly-heavy bands hails from such a small and quiet town, and Port Macquarie's Letterbomb A.D. are today delivering a brash slap to the face with their huge new single 'Dystopia'.

Code Orange have announced a new live album called Under The Skin will be out this Friday, featuring enhanced recordings from their recent unplugged Under The Skin livestream.

Japanese metalcore legends Crystal Lake have dropped a new two-track EP called Watch Me Burn, which has come roaring to release with a fully-fledged music video for the title track.

There are some YouTubers out there who put a great deal of time and effort into sharing their passion for metal music, and Nik Nocturnal has gotta be one of our favourites.

Fever 333 have been a very politically outspoken band from the get-go, so it's no surprise that the band have staged their own demonstration amidst the current civil tensions in the US.
