If you're a fan of Cancer Bats, like I am, you'll know what you're in for with one of Canada's ol' faithfuls. Stoner infused hardcore with a love of all things Sabbath. Always a good time. Stream the whole thing here.

Enslaved – In Times 

Genre: Progressive metal
Origin: Bergen, Norway
Label: Nuclear Blast

Buy now on Amazon.com

Few bands have been this constantly great with what they do. The band manages to evolve and experiment enough to not sound stale and stuck, but you'll know it's Enslaved from the first note, and you'll love it.

Europe – War of Kings 

Genre: Heavy metal
Origin: Upplands Vasby, Sweden
Label: Hell & Back

Buy now on Amazon.com

Yup. THAT Europe. The band mostly (perhaps only?) famous for "The Final Countdown," are still here and still epic. I doubt you'll get your new infectiously catchy timeless single from this record, but it's probably on par with deeper cuts.

Melechesh – Enki 

Genre: Middle Eastern Folk Metal
Origin: Jerusalem, Israel
Label: Nuclear Blast

Buy now on Amazon.com

This record has the epic blackened folk metal the band is known for, but they've got friends in tow. Guests include Max from Soulfly, Rob from Volbeat, and Sakis from Rotting Christ. Jam the whole thing here.

Label: Metal Blade

Part-Cult (John Tempesta), part-Anthrax (Scott Ian), part-Armored Saint (Joey Vera), part-Mother Superior (Jim Wilson), and part-Pearl (Pearl Aday). This collective comes together to create some straight-forward, yet effective, rock. Blow the dust off your old leather vest, this band will make you feel cool in it again.

I helped bring this to you all last week, and now, if you dug the stream, you can get your grubby paws, or digital paws, on it. An incredible and incredibly unique fuzzy experience.
