SUMMARY:HAVOK\, HELLRIPPER\, SLACKJAW\, XOTH
DESCRIPTION:\n\nHAVOK\n\n\n\nInspired by the burgeoning American thrash met
 al revival of the mid-2000s\, Denver\, Colorado’s Havok emerged in 2004 
 with an aggressive\, neck-snapping style that evoked Bay Area thrash legen
 ds like Exodus\, Metallica\, and Testament. They broke into the Billboard 
 200 in 2013 with their acclaimed third full-length effort\, Unnatural Sele
 ction\, and continued to refine their uncompromising sound on future endea
 vors like Conformicide (2017) and V (2020).\n\nHavok assembled in 2004 and
  proceeded to ply their retro-fitted classic thrash trade via a series of 
 self-financed releases: a 2005 demo\, a 2006 single\, and a 2007 EP\, curi
 ously named Pwn ’em All. These efforts duly got them signed to Candlelig
 ht Records\, which released Havok’s debut album\, Burn\, in 2009 and the
 n sent them off to tour with bands like Exodus\, Anthrax\, Destruction\, P
 rimal Fear\, and Hammerfall. All of this roadwork only tightened up the gr
 oup’s impressive chops\, and prepared members David Sanchez (lead vocals
 \, rhythm guitar)\,... [read more]\n\n\n\n\n\n 	Band Website\n 	Spotify\n

 \n\n\n\n 	Spotify\n 	Instagram\n\n\nSLACKJAW\n\n\n\nSlackjaw is an America
 n heavy metal trio based in South Carolina. The band was formed when Dalla
 s Young (vocals\, rhythm guitar\, bassist)\, also widely known online as S
 oup\, met Brady Riggenbach (lead guitarist) in 2017. Jacob Rigdon (drummer
 ) was added to complete the trio in July 2021. Despite various lineup chan
 ges\, Dallas and Brady held the band’s vision together by taking on mult
 iple roles in the studio\, with Brady being the studio drummer on almost e
 very track to date. Through a mutual interest in Black Label Society and P
 antera\, Dallas and Brady quickly started writing material. The band’s f
 irst single\, “Caught in the Crossfire\,” and their first studio album
 \, “Ritual of Dissonance\,” were met with astounding appraisal from ol
 d and new fans alike. When the band formed\, they gathered an impressive o
 nline following with no management\, label\, or supporting tour. With infl
 uences such as Pantera\, Metallica\, Slayer\, Megadeth\, Meshuggah\, Black
  Label Society\, Tool\, and many others\, there’s... [read more]\n\n\n\
 n\n\n\n 	Spotify\n 	Instagram\n\n\nXOTH\n\n\nSince bursting forth from the
  cosmic ether in 2014\, Seattle’s Xoth (pronounced ZOTH) has evoked fan 
 and critical acclaim for their innovative approach to extreme metal. 2019
 ’s Interdimensional Invocations has become a cult classic\, blending tec
 hnical death metal\, black metal\, and thrash in a novel synthesis that el
 udes categorization.\nIn partnership with Dawnbreed Records\, their third 
 triumph Exogalactic is an ambitious leap forward. It’s as if they’ve e
 xcavated musical relics from Earth’s core and melded them with sounds fr
 om the far reaches of the universe. Each song is an event horizon\, stirri
 ng subgenres into a timewarp of past and future sonic chaos.\nAmidst the v
 ortex of sound\, the mixing sorcery of Joe Cincotta at Full Force Studio (
 Obituary\, Suffocation) manifests an auditory odyssey and the artwork of S
 hindy Reehal at Shindy Design sets the tone for the voyage. Xoth is not ju
 st music\; it’s a journey across the celestial landscape led by interste
 llar luminaries.\n“Through four... [read more]\n\n\n\n\n\n 	Spotify\n
