The indescribable @sterntheband (members of Kayo Dot) have dropped new track "Dunce" via BrooklynVegan: "It’s somewhere under the rock umbrella, with a hypnotic backbone, freeform fuzz guitar that sounds like if Blue Cheer ever tried to channel Ornette Coleman, and a woozy vocal performance that’s very psychedelic..." This enigma of a band makes music that utterly perplexes us yet gets stuck in our heads for weeks – a rare feat! Equally sweet and sour; shades of Scott Walker, Craig Wedren, Ennio Morricone; pop music for Gorguts fans; call it what you will... New album "Missive: Sister Ships" comes out 8/24 on @sgglossolalia — NYC, see 'em live this Sunday at The Glove!
Qui @quiband are now streaming their new album Snuh via @brooklynvegan which comes out tomorrow on Three One G @threeoneg #qui #threeoneg #brooklynvegan #albumstream #thechainworld
From Kansas City, @bummerkc are purveyors of supreme Heartland noise-rock, honed to perfection over the past several years through tours with bands like Whores. and Wrong. New album "Holy Terror" (out 8/24 on Learning Curve Records) is the band’s debut full-length and it finds the trio in peak form, charging through the wheat fields with all the irreverence of The Melvins and the harshness of Unsane. Feast your eyes on the new video for "Fred Savage 420" right now, thanks to @newnoisemagazine ! #bummer #noiserock #sludge #kansascity #thechainworld

Proud to be working with @kingbuffaloband whom our friends in The Sword turned us on to. New album "Longing to Be the Mountain" is coming up on October 12th and the band hits the road this month, including Psycho Las Vegas and much more. Hear new single "Sun Shivers" right now via PopMatters! It's an enthralling rocker that haunts as it cruises forward... "[King Buffalo] summon elements of the psychedelic and the progressive and the intersection of the two as heard in the music of Pink Floyd..."

Check out @agoodrogering’s new music video! According to @metal_injection, “It's a playful piece with tons of hooks and groove, some over top the metal flair, and captivating visuals by Eric Livingston @firstchurchofthevoid, known for his work with Dead Cross @dead_cross_official. The outcome is a full on parade of metal pride that would make a band like Manowar blush.” #thechainworld #agoodrogering #thisisdeathmetal #metalinjection #metal #video #videopremiere #musicpr
“Coarse's debut EP, I, develops Knowles and Gallagher's dueling vocals and glitchy, blown-out arrangements into fuel for one of the most seething, satisfying metalcore albums of the year.” The brand new @coarseisaband EP is streaming in full via @revolvermag
@statiqbloom remixed @deljudasnyc and @revolvermag has premiered the track! "Charlie Schmid, best known as the former drummer for NYC black-metal acts Tombs and Vaura, has ventured into solo territory with Deity, his debut album as 'goth-country' auteur Del Judas. In the wake of the record's release earlier this month via Primal Architecture, he's unveiled a haunting, industrial remix of the song's lead single 'Of Love and Death' — reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails and Skinny Puppy by way of Chris Isaak and David Lynch..." #statiqbloom #deljudas #industrial #remix #thechainworld
@nethrock — on tour w/ Mastodon and Dinosaur Jr in September! But first... they are dropping their new full-length album "Black Gaia" on August 24th! @metalsucks has premiered first single "Army!" today, calling it "trance-inducing, leaving your mind in a perpetual state of wubwubwubwaaaaahhhhh..." Couldn't have said it better ourselves! This Brooklyn band plays a wild-eyed, metallic version of rock – a place of lurching grooves, psychedelic lava-spewing, and sugary hooks that infect the ears. Frontman Timo Ellis says “The record is a scream of anger and grief, and maybe a call-to-arms to do whatever it takes to avert the coming civilization-collapsing environmental mega-catastrophe.”
“BC35” is the new album celebrating the 35th anniversary of Martin Bisi's BC Studio — a sprawling collab of various artists from within New York's avant-rock scene, including members of Sonic Youth, Swans, Live Skull, White Hills, Foetus, Cop Shoot Cop, and more... . Witness CVLT Nation's premiere of a live video today from the recent “BC35” record release show at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn... . And grab Sleeping Giant Glossolalia's new cassette version of "BC35” — available now for pre-order via SGG’s Bandcamp... . “The credits read like a who’s who of New York’s experimental underground... It’s a sonic embodiment of risk-taking, rule-breaking, and antithesis that celebrates the endurance of a man and a space tied directly to New York’s noise, art-rock, punk, free jazz, hip-hop, and alternative movements... Showcasing the opaque, roaring, visceral sound [Martin Bisi] has come to epitomize, BC35 acts as a totem to his enduring role in NYC’s rock mythos..." –Pitchfork
