CANNABIS CORPSE recently unleashed a mind-melting animated video for "Where the Kind Lives" via metal video gurus Metal Injection.

Boston's gnarliest crusty crossover maniacs, RAMMING SPEED, recently returned from a score of dates across the US of A with SAVIOURS. Their most recent release, a split 12" with legendary metalpunks A.N.S., is now in its second repress (on wicked green wax!) on Tankcrimes.

"This is a great split—two rad bands that play punk tinged thrash metal that know how to be serious, but don’t take themselves too seriously. Fucking awesome" - Maximum Rock'n'Roll.

Thrash metal juggernauts REVOCATION have just posted a 20+ minute preview clip of all the songs featured on the band's upcoming face ripper "Chaos of Forms" out August 15th via Relapse Records.

One of the reasons why REVOCATION supply endless amounts of awesome, is the fact that the band will actually have cowbells on the new record, not only cowbells, but COWBELL BLASTBEATS! (thanks to the mighty awesome Paul Williams from Streaming Chaos for the tip). If that doesn't prove that REVOCATION is ahead of the game, I don't know what will. COWBELL BLASTBEATS!!

Listen below, then click here to pre-order this thrash beast!

It's finally happening! REVOCATION are about to lay down one of the year's heaviest records! The band is currently streaming their latest song "Cradle Robbers" taken from their upcoming album "Chaos of Forms," out August 16th on Relapse Records. I'm going to safely say that "Chaos of Forms" will be a record of multiple intense playback proportions.

2009's "Existence Is Futile" still beats the living shit out of me every time I decide to go for an ass whooping. Revocation's jazz fused influences are just so over the top, it makes everything about them so "punch you in the face" good.

So without further ado. Visit REVOCATION on Facebook to stream "Cradle Robbers."

[Thanks to our brother in metal Paul Williams from Streaming Chaos for giving us a heads up!]

Johnny Orlando Jr, the self proclaimed "leading metal journalist" let his son Johnny Orlando Jr, Jr go out and about during California Metal Fest where he asks Carnifex, Arsis, Misery Index, Fear Factory, Revocation and Gene Hoglan about one of the most infamous childhood mysteries, where do babies come from? the answers are hilarious...
