Sludge/Noise metal band Ion Whip have premiered their track “Dirty Teeth”, a four-minute blast that is highly recommended for fans of Helmet and The Melvins.

The only key differences I can see in this record between Voros and Meshuggah, however, are the deeper growls and much more straightforward approach to tech metal.

One listen to the third album from Chicago “anti-lifers” Lord Mantis and you’ll be redefining your boundaries for what is classed as heavy music. Setting out their intentions right from the pounding, sludgy opening bars of “Body Choke,” Lord Mantis truly plunge heavy music into new depths of horrifying depravity.

Lord Mantis today dispatches the first wave of audio violence from their impending third full-length, Death Mask, nearing release via Profound Lore this Spring. Have your day fully ruined by Lord Mantis with “Body Choke” now playing just above via SoundCloud. Death Mask will see release on April 29th, the band’s first release for Profound Lore Records.

According to the bands bio “Spawning The Nephilim embraces hell and wallows in it.” Dissonance and discordance abound on the newest release from Lord Mantis, Spawning The Nephilim. This disc is inexorably heavy and dishes out a brutal bludgeoning from beginning to end.
