Wayfarer Announces "Old Souls" Release

Denver, CO’s atmospheric blackened metal band Wayfarer will release sophomore album ”Old Souls” on June 17 via Prosthetic Records. The album’s cover artwork, which can be seen below, was created by Colorado artist and knifesmith Adam Gersh.

Recorded at Flatline Audio with Shane Howard (Martriden, Khemmis) while being mixed and mastered by Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Cobalt), "Old Souls" features seven tracks clocking in at almost 50 minutes long.

Asked how “Old Souls” differs from debut "Children Of An Iron Age," guitarist and vocalist Shane McCarthy commented: “This record is a darker and much more focused effort from us. Writing the album was a very cohesive and involved process as a whole band this time around. It has moved further and further away from any particular genre trappings and stepped closer into what we feel our sound is; which is always shifting, always evolving. Life is too short to write music that already exists. We can’t wait to get this out there.”

1. Ever Climbing
2. Frontiers
3. Old Souls’ New Dawn
4. Catcher
5. Deathless Tundra
6. The Dust Lakes
7. All Lost in Aimless Chaos More...

Nomads Streaming Full Album

The new Nomads album "Love It or Leave It" is a hurricane of violent hardcore punk, descended from Motorhead, Discharge, and Discharge worshippers like Anti-Cimex.

Nomads takes this crusty, driving, grinding sound, relocates it to its home turf of LA, and boosts it with the heavyweight modern production of Taylor Young (Nails, Xibalba) and mastering of Brad Boatright (Magudergrind, Full of Hell).

The band then throws banging covers of GG Allin and The Sisters of Mercy songs into the mix. Hear the whole release below, or you can catch Nomad live on these dates:

Jun 5 - Pomona, CA @ The Glasshouse w/ Discharge, Eyehategod
Jun 6 - Los Angeles, CA @ The Roxy w/ Discharge, Eyehategod
