Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival
Loma Vista Recordings

The Run the Jewels rapper follows up last year’s Grammys-sweeping Michael with an album of soulful rewinds and combative new tracks addressing a tumultuous few months. The curveball third act of Michael Santiago Render’s hip-hop career has been no less surprising, nor exciting, to behold.

Kim Deal
4AD

On the Breeders bandleader’s first-ever solo album, produced by the late Steve Albini, a thread of loss and grief gets tucked into a body of work that’s ageless and ever-evolving. It’s a singularly uplifting, life-affirming listen, where joy and despair are irrevocably entwined, and kept afloat by Deal’s unfailing lightness of touch.

Body Count
Century Media

The pioneering rap metal band returns with their much-anticipated 8th album. After persevering through personal tragedies, social opposition, and an army of naysayers, Ice-T and his crew emerge with more rage than ever. Featuring George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher (Cannibal Corpse), Joe Bad (Fit For An Autopsy), and Max Cavalera (Soulfly).

Distant
Century Media

Tsukuyomi: The Origin neatly ties together the past and the present, possessing enough combustible elements to level a small continent with its incredible array of guest vocalists bringing their signature swagger to proceedings. The deathcore powerhouse continue to showcase why they are deservedly amongst the top of the pack.

Marilyn Manson
Nuclear Blast

If you’re a Marilyn Manson fan, you are going to be eating very well here. If you’re a casual listener or a fan of industrial rock with a twist, you’ll still thoroughly enjoy what One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1 has to offer. A well-crafted album with a lot to unpack.

Defeated Sanity
Season of Mist

The beauty in the snarling and crushing atmosphere that Defeated Sanity creates exists in its ability to switch from knuckle-scraping slam to finger-testing climb. Chronicles of Lunacy, as a honed interpretation of the band’s already proven work, finds an easy spot in the upper tier of their storied catalog—and it doubles as a killer neck exercise.

The Smashing Pumpkins
Thirty Tiges / Martha’s Music

A bruising and shadowy return to form from original Smashing Pumpkins members Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha, and Billy Corgan. Recorded in the immediate aftermath of their 33-song concept album, Atum, Aghori Mhori Mei harkens back to the band’s early 90’s canon; where guitars, bass, drums, and spiking vocals ruled.

Linkin Park
Warner Records

Coming seven years after the death of the beloved frontman Chester Bennington, From Zero manages to sound refreshed and current without denying the past. Linkin Park were always unafraid to take sonic risks, and another sonic risk is exactly what their comeback constitutes – one that has handsomely paid off.
