So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
SUMAC & MOOR MOTHER – “HARD TRUTH”

MAIA FRIEDMAN – “RUSSIAN BLUE”
Maia Friedman says “Russian Blue,” the latest single from her new album Goodbye Long Winter Shadow, is “about love lost, and the inevitable process of losing oneself and finding oneself again. I enlisted my dear friend Hannah Cohen to sing harmonies, and the closing guitarmony solo was dueled out by Maddy Baltor and I, side by side. It was joyful to say the least. We knew this one needed drums so we called in the legendary Kenny Wollesen and he got it on the first take. I love how Oliver Hill interpreted my demo into this beautiful arrangement for woodwinds and strings.”

RIVERS OF NIHIL – “AMERICAN DEATH”
Progressive death metallers Rivers of Nihil have shared another taste of their upcoming self-titled album, “American Death.” Guitarist Brody Uttley says, “‘American Death’ is a title that we’ve been throwing around and printing on our T-shirts since 2013. We figured it was finally time to write a song with that title, and given the subject matter of the lyrics, it would only make sense for this song to be a true ass beater. It’s definitely the most true form ‘heavy’ song of these singles, so we are very much looking forward to playing it live.”
