(Today we happily present Zoltar’s interview of the Belgian death metal band Torturerama, whose pleasingly foul and ripping second full-length was released this past July by Memento Mori Records.) Back in 2010, as in the bowels of the Swedish underground scene a new breed of newcomers were doing their best to take death metal back […]

Party-starting Nashville punks Snooper are getting ready to open Mannequin Pussy and Wednesday’s Bitch Cabal tour, which ought to be a great time. Today, they drop a new single that will probably go crazy at those shows. “Mouth Closed” is a pummeling pogo jam with a merciless pep-rally drum-machine beat and some ultra-corroded scream-along vocals. It sounds like electroclash reinvented as basement punk, or maybe Sleigh Bells played at 1.5x speed.

In the early 2010s, Krill emerged out of Boston in a loosely mathy tangle of guitars and neuroses and became a cult sensation for a generation of budding indie rock fans. The band’s lifespan coincided with my late 20s and early 30s, and they came to my attention through my young millennial coworkers here at Stereogum, writers like James Rettig and Gabriela Tully Claymore who were about a decade behind me. After years of identifying as a young person, I was witnessing the rise of movements like Odd Future that felt like they belonged to the next generation. This was also the height of indie poptimism (SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS in stores now), and with each successive buzz band delving deeper into synthpop or R&B or experimental electronics, I didn’t even realize kids were still making scrappy, guitar-centric indie anymore. But my younger colleagues loved Krill, and that gave me hope for the future of the old-school indie rock that soundtracked my own high school and college years. I now realize that everything comes back around again — even Krill, apparently.

Louisiana metal powerhouse, BRAT, will release its new LP, ‘Manslayer’, on September 25 via Prosthetic Records. BRAT‘s eagerly awaited sophomore album, ‘Manslayer’, was tracked at Chicago’s Bricktop Recording, produced, engineered, and mixed by Weekend Nachos’ Andy Nelson, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Deadguy, Pig Destroyer, Lathe of Heaven) with maximum weight and minimum mercy. The follow-up to BRAT‘s 2024 debut, ‘Social Grace’, ‘Manslayer’ features 17 tracks of primitive death metal, garroting thrash, and swamp-drenched hardcore for devotees of the darkest reaches of the underground. Shock-inducing album artwork by Wes Benscoter (Mortician, Slayer), hammers home Manslayer’s macabre motif. Above all, ‘Manslayer’ represents a scaling up of ambition, sound, and vision for BRAT. The concepts are bigger, the music more widescreen, and it is all bound to translate into absolute mayhem live. “We’re evolving the bimboviolence and the campiness by making it all a little bit darker with this album, and a bit more overtly violent” says Liz“I think that will probably reflect in our stage show and our imagery as well, keeping it fun, not a total 180, but definitely progressing into something darker with it”.
Today, BRAT drops the third advance track from ‘Manslayer’, the hematic “Speculum Bleed”. The snarky single arrives via a visceral video that BRAT vocalist, Liz Selfish, claims is inspired by volcanic death metal legends Cannibal Corpse. Video directed by John Coglan.
To support the release of “Manslayer”, the band will be coming to Europe in November as support act of Napalm Death:

From the moment they joined forces, TEMIC appeared as a dream come true for prog fans everywhere. The international supergroup features current and former members of Devin Townsend, Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress, Neal Morse Band, Haken, Shining, Maraton and Big City. The group’s chart-topping debut lived up to the hype, but on their upcoming new album, Ceiba, they’ve grown by leaps and bounds. Ceiba comes out October 2, 2026 on Season of Mist.
Today, TEMIC are releasing the third advanced single from Ceiba. While heavy in the wake of loss, “Ashes” opens the album on an uplifting note by finding the strength that resides within the pain.
“Ceiba is a concept album about loss in all its various forms”, TEMIC says. “‘Ashes’ begins the album’s journey shrouded by turmoil and hopelessness. But through that struggle comes the fight for renewal and, ultimately, inner strength”.
Much like Terror Management Theory, the supergroup’s widely-anticipated follow-up centers on mortality. In Mayan culture, the titular tree is considered sacred for its connection to the earth, heaven and the underworld. “We love how the image of the Ceiba connects to the overarching theme of loss”, Tejeida explains. As depicted by the album’s lush cover art, it opens like a crack of lightning.
“We wrote this album together with contributions from all five members”, the band says. “We allowed ourselves to explore the songs and really extend ourselves while always keeping the emotions at the front of our minds”.

In less than a month, Fontaines D.C., now a truly huge rock band, will release their new album Dopamine Chamber. It’s going to be a really big deal. Thus far, they’ve only shared one single from the LP: “Marianne,” which has a concerning and AI-befouled video from director Dave Meyers. At recent shows, Fontaines have been playing new songs live: “Marianne” and “Six Shot Morning” in Cádiz, “Happy For You” at the Leeds Festival. On Monday night, they hit a Brooklyn crowd with another new track.

The All-American Rejects emerged from Stillwater, Oklahoma, at the turn of the millennium, initially built around vocalist and bassist Tyson Ritter and guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Nick Wheeler. Their earliest recordings were self-produced and self-released, including a 2000 demo album and the 2001 Same Girl, New Songs EP. Those recordings helped lead to a deal with Doghouse Records and the band’s self-titled debut album, which first appeared in 2002. Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor joined the live lineup around that breakthrough period, creating the four-member lineup that would carry the band through its major-label years and beyond. The band’s first album
