The most necessary primer yet, and we didn’t even include half their records.
Angry Metal Playlist
Angry Metal Primer – Manticora
Giving you extra time to get prepped for a release you didn’t know you needed. You’re welcome.
Angry Metal Primer – Defeated Sanity
“Defeated Sanity have found their own unique mixture of the cerebral and the feral, which has propelled them headlong into the hearts, minds, and collections of many a death metal fan. No matter how complex their music gets, Defeated Sanity never loses sight of the fact that they play brutal death metal.” Sanity must be defeated!
Angry Metal Primer – Ensiferum
Wimps and posers, buy a sauna. The real deal is here.
Angry Metal Primer – Lamb of God
“Over 40 years of metal’s biological urge (and a hefty lack of restraint) has resulted in some incomprehensibly large catalogs. No one should have to listen to anywhere from 13 to 15 [Luca Turilli’s] Rhapsody [of Fire] albums just to get caught up for a new release. So each week (as required and/or able), we’re offering a selection of prime(r)(er) cuts to get you up to speed. Lamb of La Mancha.
Angry Metal Primer – Alestorm
The sea is churning and the brews are frothing. That must mean Alestorm is back to harass your coastline again. YAAR!
Angry Metal Primer – Firewind
Firewind is in the air with a new album poised to drop. Can guitar mega-maestro, Gus G keep those good metal tunes flowing with an all new lineup?
Angry Metal Primer – The Black Dahlia Murder
The Black Dahlia Murder is poised to drop a new album, which is a big deal around the metal scene. We thought it best to help those unfamiliar with the band’s material by providing this helpful primer fashioned by AMG Himself and Dr. Wvrm. No need to thank us, we’re just metal to the core.
Angry Metal Primer – Benighted
“A late primer guaranteed to keep you up later (try “Fritzl”). Welcome to the craziest crazies brutal slamming death metal has to offer.” Taste the French dread.
Angry Metal Primer – Cattle Decapitation
“From their grisly origins in goregrind to their current set of genre-defying extreme albums, Cattle Decapitation have always been both provocative and purposeful. While crusading against the meat industry, animal testing, environmental destruction or transphobia, Travis Ryan’s stomach-turning lyrics often take to extremes of irony to turn abstract, far-away injustice into a personal danger. But the band climbed a long way to the top of their current soapbox.” Shake, cattle and roll.
