From the debut of Spirit Breaker to the bone-crushing heaviness of Slaughter To Prevail, there are several notable records among this week’s new music releases.
We love our clients. Over the last decade in business, Haulix has played a small part in helping thousands of records reach tastemakers worldwide. Watching artists reach and even surpass their dreams is immensely humbling. We take no credit for anyone’s success, but we do want to highlight a few clients whose recent new music releases are currently on repeat in our offices. Check it out:
Slaughter To Prevail – Kostolom (Sumerian)
Describing Slaughter To Prevail to anyone unfamiliar with their music is a challenge. In the simplest terms, the European sextet writes bone-crushingly heavy metal songs that often move at the speed of light. Their music is fast, furious, and unflinchingly honest. There is no topic they won’t explore. If you want to know what the future of extreme music sounds like, Kostolom is as close as you will get without a time machine. Nobody is doing it like Slaughter To Prevail, but soon, countless knockoffs will arise. Get into the real thing before the real thing is hard to find.
Spirit Breaker – Cura Nata (Solid State)
Spirit breaker is not interested in a surface-level conversation with fans. The rising rock band uses their debut full-length album to plunge deep into the heart of the human experience. The group prides itself on writing honest and innovative rock songs that explore complex emotions and situations without losing sight of the catchiness needed to sell music. Threading the needle of being intellectually stimulating and inexplicably memorable is difficult for groups with many more years of experience, but spirit breaker makes it look easy. Here’s hoping that Cura Nata ushers in a new generation of artists who are similarly excited about figuring out this thing called existence.
Sepultura – Sepulquarta (Nuclear Blast)
Metal icons Sepultura mark another chapter in their career with their latest (and arguably greatest) live album. Sepulquarta captures the band at their best, delivering anthemic songs of passion and progression in the face of impossible odds to people who are living for each note they perform. The only problem is, those fans are not in the room. Sepultura made the entire live album in quarantine and fans streamed it while stuck in their homes. Still, it’s the kind of live album that convinces you never to miss another tour. Your wallet may not be ready for how good this record sounds, but your heart and soul will thank you for experiencing it.
Eyes of Perdition – Incendiary Truths (Self-released)
Eyes of Perdition’s intense debut EP takes listeners on an adventure through the real Las Vegas. Beyond the bright lights of the strip lies a city filled with broken dreams and hard people. There are problems with crime, drugs, and violence that are often overshadowed by the allure of a global tourist destination. I don’t know where Eyes of Perdition go from here, but the future is as bright as the strip that put their city on the map. Vocalist Lindsay O. Pulls from her traumas and experiences to deliver a story of perseverance and determination that is likely to inspire everyone who hears it.
