If there's one thing that can be respected about heavy metal, it's the honesty. Just like how the tracks on this week's episode are honestly pretty brutal. Just like how I honestly love putting these together each week because it gives me an excuse to drown my brain in a constant onslaught of loud, horrific-sounding cacophony. Just like how I'm honestly going to cleanse my palate after posting this by watching a Depeche Mode concert on blu-ray. Don't worry, I'll turn in my metal card on my way out the door.

Anyway, here's your weekly batch of new heaviness coming from the US, Austria, Finland, Canada, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Romania, the Czech Republic, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, and Belgium. Enjoy.
