A week for the slightly weird and unpredictable, inevitably dividing opinions, as the traditional gives way for the experimental and eccentric.

Weekly rundown April 19 – 2024

Set aside some time. Seriously. This week is absolutely packed.

This week sees a mighty clash of death metal and classic doom, each bringing both expected and surprising qualities to bear.

Fun versus rage, rough versus polished, dark versus dreamy. Pick you side or embrace it all.

A slightly toned-down week that offers a little bit of everything, with an emphasis on aggression in both pent-up and all-out forms.

Death metal moves in from all fronts to dominate the week, going both high and low, and filling in the vanguard as well as the core of the advance.

A week of trying different approaches – the straightforward, the off-kilter, the innovative and the reinventive. You decide which suits you best.

Prepare for some knockout punches this week, both from the ragged vanguard, the well-entrenched core and the devious shadows.

This is a fun and colorful week, where thrash, industrial, power, psychedelic doom and melodic extreme metal are just a few of the flavors on offer.

After several weeks dominated by brutal and bleak releases, the sun starts to shine through in the form of some more playful and epic stuff.
