The story is told so often that it feels like myth: Before they joined Fleetwood Mac together and began an historic spree of easy listening West Coast rock excellence and intra-band romantic mess, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were a romantic couple who doubled as a musical duo. Their 1973 album Buckingham Nicks was out of print and off streaming services until a reissue last fall, but those business machinations did not actually involve Buckingham and Nicks reuniting. That might be about to change.

In my mind

That I could only want to trust your god

Now it’s mine

I control my destiny 

Toronto duo Modele (aka Chris Huggett and Nathan Wiltshire) deal in confession, and on Now It’s Mine, they turn the act into something closer to a private coup. This is the second release from the new Modele album, Divine Surrender, due later this year, and the title of that record already hints at the tension running through the song: surrender as ritual, surrender as seduction, surrender as the last posture before someone stands up and takes hold of the room.

There is a thin line between reverence and hunger, between submission and self-invention. Modele takes that tension and lets it breathe, building a song that feels devotional at first, then increasingly charged with possession, until the whole piece seems to stand upright under its own severe and shining will.

Now It’s Mine boasts a chorus pitched low enough to rattle the body and guitars rising in long, bent shapes, as though they are reaching for some stained, distant light. Huggett sings from deep in the chest, his voice full of weight and want, carrying the strain of somebody still chasing meaning after the old answers have gone stale. Modele stay with the feeling, press on it, and let it darken without rushing toward relief.

You can hear familiar bloodlines running through the song: traces of The Mission in its sweep, the hypnotic melancholy of Clan of Xymox and Violator-era Depeche Mode in its cool nocturnal drag. Modele understand how to hold elegance and unease in the same frame, and that balance gives the song its real pull.

Now It’s Mine moves like a spiritual mutiny. It begins in devotion, with the speaker bent toward another’s truth, hungry for meaning, willing to surrender everything for a glimpse of the divine. Then the center of gravity shifts. Purity curdles into possession, sacrifice sharpens into self-command, and awakening arrives with its hands already on the wheel. By the end, the song has broken from borrowed faith entirely: heaven is no longer something distant to pursue, but something wrestled down, claimed, and made flesh. Hot!

UK disgusting death metal fiends Cryptworm have been quite prolific since 2022. Featuring members of Cryptic Shift and Rothadas, their Spewing Mephitic Putridity debut was a nauseating dose of raw sewagecore that made Autopsy seem hygienic by comparison. They followed that up barely a year later with Oozing Radioactive Vomition, and things felt a bit rushed and less impactful. They wisely took some time off thereafter, and now they return with third outing, Infectious Pathological Waste. While their overall approach hasn’t changed much from album to album, the quality of the writing has varied. This time, it feels like they put a bit more thought into the compositions, and some of the vile charm of the debut resurfaces through the slime and scuzz. Nothing does the heart good quite like seeing a happy Cryptworm!

Opener “Gallons of Molten Hominal Goo” greets you like a decaying old friend, and the gruesome, repulsive sounds contain the distinct aroma of early Carcass. This lump of excrement could have appeared on Symphonies of Sickness and fit like a maggot in a gunshot wound. The riffs are fairly rudimentary but have weight, and the vocals by Hanyi Tibor (Rothadas) are a cross between an industrial garbage disposal and a frat-house beer-belching contest. They are fucking disgusting, purulent, and utterly incomprehensible, but damn if they aren’t entertaining. “Maimed and Gutted” is a standout, going for a frantic thrashy panic attack with Cannibal Corpse-isms buried in the basement. It’s a road-grader of a brutal death song that veers into slam territory at times, and the riffs are greasy, sticky, and bellicose. My favorite macabre ditty is “Embedded with Parasitic Larvae,” where, intentionally or not, Tibor sounds like an undead version of the Swedish Chef from The Muppet Show. I cannot tell you why this enhances my enjoyment as much as it does, but fuck yes, Chef!

On “Drowning in Purulent Excrementia,” they go extra slammy, and kitman Jamie Wintle starts to hit something that should be the pong snare, but it sounds like he’s beating on a skull or a femur. It’s weird, but I kinda like it, and it’s way better than that godawful PONG-PONG-PONG sound some tech and slam bands foist on you. Not every track is a sure-fire hit though, with “Gastrointestinal Seepage” feeling a bit too leaden and lethargic, though I appreciate Tibor’s extra nasty vocals where he seems to be coughing up a hairball full of razor blades and asbestos. I could complain that this feels like a very one-note album, but what death metal album isn’t really? At a tight 32 minutes, it goes by fast enough, though several tracks do have bloat issues that crimp enjoyment. The style Cryptworm opt to play necessitates keeping things in a 3-4 minute window, and when they push further, things get ropey and dopey.

Tibor does a tremendous, unpleasant job on vocals, sounding completely inhuman at all times. His unbelievably cartoonish subterranean croaks are a thing of hideous beauty, and I can’t get enough of them. His guitarwork is also to be applauded, borrowing the most objectionable bits of gristle from Autopsy, Cannibal Corpse, and Incantation to fuel the Cryptworm diet. Some of the leads are quite hooky, and I especially love the big beefy power chugs that dot the landscape. As on Oozing Radioactive Vomition, however, the songwriting can be inconsistent, and they don’t always know when enough is enough. There are some sick burners here to aggravate the savage altered beast, but a few tracks feel underbaked and deliver weaker tentacle slaps.

Cryptworm are a band I can’t help but root for as I root around in their repellant leavings, but I want them to be MOAR consistently deadly with their offal hammer. There’s plenty of fun stuff on Infectious Pathological Waste to marinate in, and it all reeks of the slaughterhouse. When it’s good, it’s rurl good. When it’s just okay, it’s still pretty fookin’ entertaining. Someday these chaps are gonna get their maggot larvae in a row and then, watch out! Until then, there are worse ways to kill brain cells than these odious odes to the grave.

Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck have released their new single “Run Back To Me,” now available on all major streaming platforms. The track arrives as the band continues touring in support of their latest album, Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes.

“Run Back To Me” originated with songwriter Desirae Megan, who was inspired after seeing a photo of frontman Robert Jon Burrison with his family. Reflecting on the challenges of staying connected while on the road, she began developing the song’s melody and concept. Megan later worked with keyboardist Jake Abernathie to complete the track while traveling to a show.

The song focuses on the emotional realities of touring, balancing distance with the pull of home. It highlights the band’s continued emphasis on blending personal storytelling with their signature Southern rock sound.

“Run Back To Me” follows a series of recent releases from the band after Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, which was produced by Dave Cobb and released via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. The album marked a continued evolution in the band’s sound, combining high-energy rock with more reflective material.

Formed in 2011, Robert Jon & The Wreck features Robert Jon Burrison (vocals, guitar), Henry James (lead guitar, vocals), Andrew Espantman (drums, vocals), Warren Murrel (bass), and Jake Abernathie (keys). The group has built a strong following through consistent touring and a blend of Southern rock influences with a West Coast approach.

The band will continue its tour throughout 2026 with dates across the United States and Europe.
