2016 Metal Newcomers Explored, Pt. V
Whether you agreed with our 2016 Staff Awards or not, one of the things we take great pride in at MetalUnderground.com is being able to unearth some new acts (or acts just releasing a full length album in the current year) that you should take notice of.
We pour over literally thousands of new albums between all of the staff and there is a reason: the quest for great metal. I'm sure I do not stand alone in the belief that once you lose the desire to seek out new bands, you've given up on the scene. Metal should be perpetual and though there are so many acts out there trying to get attention, this should not dissuade you from the hunt. One of the biggest problems in metal fandom is falling into the lazy trap of saying "no good music is made these days" or "nothing can ever be better than the music of the 80's, or 70's, or 90's." The hunt for great music is the driving force for passion for music and it is imperative as fans that we continue to do it.
So for this final installment of Newcomers 2016, I wanted to draw attention some bands not nominated, but would fall in line as "6-10" on my list for 2016. Hopefully, you will find something you like. More...
Gravebreaker Releasing "Sacrifice"
After a digital self-release earlier this summer, Swedish old school heavy metal outfit Gravebreaker is now releasing debut album "Sacrifice" physically via Gates of Hell Records (a Cruz Del Sur Music imprint).
No gravestone has been left unturned in Gravebreaker's quest for the original sounds of heavy metal - the hot-tempered drums, the irascible guitars and the fiery growls, all presented at breathtaking speed. Are YOU ready for the "Sacrfice?" As the band's motto goes: "Only Traditional Heavy Metal, Accept No Substitute!"
"Sacrifice:" will be available as a limited edition vinyl LP (500 copies, 100 of which will be ultra-limited Coke bottle green vinyl with patch, exclusively from Cruz Del Sur Music webstore) and a limited edition CD (500). More...
