New Loudness: Rimmar, Ophiolatry, Dying Awkward Angel and More Featured at The Grindhouse

There are currently four ways to enjoy some loud and heavy tunes, but why four and not any other number? According to a recent review, three just wouldn’t cut it, but five might be too overwhelming. Let’s delve into the sounds that are making waves:

First up, we have Rimmar’s latest album Raises, where Italian guitarist and producer Marco Rinaldi showcases his unique blend of industrial and progressive metal with melodic elements. The track Mighty Messenger features a stunning vocal performance by symphonic metal legend Fabio Lione, and the accompanying video delves into themes of destiny and resilience.

Next, Brazilian extreme metal outfit Ophiolatry takes us on a dark journey with their track Revenge from the album Serpent’s Verdict. Inspired by a shocking real-life event, the song explores indigenous spirituality and historical vengeance, bringing to light the chilling tale of a criminal meeting a gruesome demise at the hands of a monstrous snake.

Italian melodic death metal band Dying Awkward Angel raises thought-provoking questions with their latest single 9.99, shedding light on the commodification of violence and the devaluation of human life in today’s society. Drawing inspiration from classic Swedish death metal acts, the track showcases a blend of aggression, melody, and lyrical depth, addressing themes of nihilism and despair.

Finally, Canadian alt-rock act Doll makes a splash with their single Shark Bait, tapping into the primal fear and survival instinct reminiscent of the iconic shark movie Jaws. Frontwoman Christina Kasper’s haunting vocals and the band’s razor-sharp riffs create a doom-tinged anthem exploring emotional predators and the struggle for survival in a cutthroat world.

As these four tracks take us on a sonic journey through various metal subgenres and thematic elements, they showcase the diverse talents and creative visions of these artists. Each song offers a unique perspective on life, society, and humanity, inviting listeners to reflect on the darker aspects of the world around us. Whether you’re a fan of industrial metal, extreme metal, melodic death metal, or alt-rock, there’s something for every heavy music enthusiast to enjoy in this eclectic mix of new releases.

So crank up the volume, dive into these tracks, and let the powerful sounds and profound lyrics transport you to a world of raw emotion and catharsis. Embrace the loudness, embrace the madness, and let the music take you on a wild ride through the realms of darkness and light.
