The Weekly Injection: New Releases From ALLT, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, and More Out This Week – 7/31
July ends with a significant wave of heavy music arrivals. While the volume of new records was slightly lower this week, the technical output from bands remains high. This latest installment covers a range of subgenres and artistic directions for listeners to check out.
Swedish metalcore outfit Allt leads the charge with their new release Ataraxia. The group delivers a heavy, groove-driven sound that highlights a clear step forward for their career. It captures a balance of aggression and atmosphere that often defines the modern metalcore sound.
Five Finger Death Punch returns with Legacy. This effort marks the band's first studio recording without longtime producer Kevin Churko, shifting their production approach toward Drew Fulk. It stands as a short, focused collection of their characteristic alternative metal style.
On the experimental side, Bear McCreary continues his musical expansion with The Singularity: Eklepsis. This project features a vast lineup of guest contributors including members of Gojira and Coheed and Cambria. The result is a sprawling, progressive metal record that fits well alongside his work in film and television composition.
Finally, Fractal Sun provides a notable entry into the prog metal space with their latest release, Divergent Paradox. These tracks pair operatic vocal deliveries with technical guitar work, signaling a strong performance from the San Jose based act. These records, alongside others from Altarage and Disfiguring the Goddess, round out a busy week of new music.
