Album of the Week: Supercontinent- Vaalbara


Hailing from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Supercontinent is a fucking rad post metal/sludge band with heavy and yet extremely melodic riffs throughout their debut album available in the store here. A lot of it actually reminds me of Mastodon, mostly in the song Cataclysms which I've included below. So check this out if you like some badass heavy music without all the gimmicks and shitty singing, and screaming used for emphasis instead of genre enabling.
Cool fact I found while trying to find some info on the band: Vaalbara is Earth's first theorized supercontinent. Ooh, and there's an ex-member of Black Dahlia Murder in the band too.

Album of the Week: Annuals- Such Fun


This album was just released yesterday, and I'm already in love with it. Their last album Be He Me was great, but lacked staying power. This effort is much more polished and well written, and just all around fantastic. There's also a large neo-folk/country tint to it which was never all that present until now, but flows well with their North Cackalacky roots. Do yourself a favor and buy it, or download if you're a pirate.
