/This Week/New and Upcoming Releases
Out today: Where We Sleep release their debut EP Experiments in the Dark. The second of God Module’s new single releases, Unconscious, and Norwegian metal veterans Darkthrone are back with Old Star, and reputedly a nod to their Black Metal roots for the first time in a long time.
An intriguing new announcement is of an album by a collective called The Joy Thieves on Armalyte. The EP is This Will Kill That, out 28-June, and has a huge list of contributors that is something of a who’s-who’s of industrial rock. Colour me interested. Also out later this month is the new album from IIOIOIOII, Chroma + Chromatic, while She Past Away, who play London tomorrow night, release Disko Anksiyete on 12-July.
Two new singles of note this week – both precursors to new albums: New Phantogram single Into Happiness and new Pelican single Cold Hope.
Also coming soon is a twentieth-anniversary remaster and reissue of Velvet Acid Christ’s Fun With Knives, out on 26-July.
