New Metal Albums August 25th

Friday has arrived and that means a slew of new metal and hard rock albums are now available digitally, via label mail order, or in that dwindling number of stores that still carry physical products. Honestly, I'm not even sure if you can still buy CDs where I live since all our record shops shut down.

So, what's out this week that's actually worth hearing though? Below we've rounded up the best of mainstream and indie releases across the entire genre spectrum that you should be checking out. From black metal to stoner rock to prog, here's what's out today (August 25th):

Crafteon Streaming "Dagon"

Denver, CO's Crafteon is the conception of vocalist and guitarist Lord Mordiggian, whom has been inspired to create an entire album influenced by his favorite author H.P. Lovecraft.

Set to unleash debut "Cosmic Reawakening" on August 25th, the eight tracks on this release are based on classic Lovecraft tales such as "The Outsider," "Dagon," and "From Beyond." First single "What The Moon Brings" was unleashed earlier this month and now these dark lords have unleashed next track "Dagon" below.

Lord Mordiggian explains: "This track is based on Lovecraft's tale of the same name, in which a deranged veteran submarine crewman is driven to a morphine overdose, throwing himself from his apartment window when he cannot obliterate from his memory a horrifying encounter with an ancient, cyclopean creature. This track reflects the human incapacity for surviving the black gnosis--the maddening knowledge of that which should not be known. 'Dagon' showcases Crafteon's style through its aggressive riffing, atmospheric passages, and manic vocals."

1. The Outsider (5:21)
2. What The Moon Brings (4:14)
3. The Temple (5:09)
4. Dagon (5:10)
