New highlights

Kid Bookie – Scars

It feels like we've been waiting an age for Kid Bookie to deliver his new album. This week, he finally announced Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead is coming in September, and dropped this absolute banger from it to celebrate. Managing to be simultaneously abrasive and smoother than liquid silk as he hops through his mash of sounds, it's a brilliant first taster for one of the year's most anticipated records. So yeah, nice one, Kid.

Knocked Loose feat. Poppy – Suffocate

Every time Knocked Loose release a track, their new album looks even more like it's going to be a wrecking ball. Get on this one from the Kentucky killers, featuring Poppy delivering one of the most aggressive vocal performances of her life. Never stop winning, Knocked Loose.

200 Stab Wounds – Hands Of Eternity

200 Stab Wounds aren't in danger of losing their wings as one of the best young death metal bands around anytime soon. Their new album Manual Manic Procedures, due in June, will take your face off, and the opening slaughter from it here is a masterclass in gory brilliance.
