I work in retail. It is December. Do I really need to say more? Fuck Christmas shopping culture.
To the metals…
Beastmilk – Climax
Genre: "Apocalyptic death-rock"
Origin: Helsinki, Finland
Label: Svart
Buy now on their website
So, looking up this band on YouTube is rather interesting. Especially if you misspelled it like I did. I wound up getting videos of women discussing their love of breast feeding, I learned a lot before eventually finding Beastmilk. Their music is quasi-post rock and sort of like early Danzig. It's not metal, and perhaps barely heavy but it is pretty rad. Also, their guitarist's name is Goatspeed. So that's already more metal than you are.

Black Flag – What The… 
Genre: Punk
Origin: Hermosa, California
Label: SST
Buy now on Amazon.com
I'm not even going to pretend I know Black Flag. All I know is Henry Rollins was in the band (but he's not anymore), and that the band recently pulled a Queensryche and two versions of the band exist. I can't find any samples, but I'm sure its aggressive, minimal, and not as awesome as their fans hope it will be.
Pro-Pain – The Final Revolution
Genre: Groove Metal
Origin: New York, New York
Label: SPV
Buy now on Amazon.com
Good ol' wast coast fight metal. The kind you get in a pit and skip to. These guys are a long running band, so I suppose I respect their journey, but they sound like the band Hatebreed based themselves on before perfecting (strong word) their sound.

Rhapsody of Fire – Dark Wings of Steel
Genre: Power Metal
Origin: Trieste, Italy
Label: AFM
Buy now on Amazon.com
I don't get to talk about big, silly power metal bands enough in the Weekly Injection, so this is quite refreshing. This is epic as balls. Everything you'd expect from it is here too. Song-titles include all the buzzwords like "Steel," "tears," "flame," and more! Get this, and go slay some shit!
