Boy, oh boy, this track is brutal as fuck. The latest offering from Colorado-based deathcore outfit Crown Magentar, titled “Decapitation Ritual”, is almost too much at times.

Toronto shoegaze outfit Rituals first stirred to life in 2009, a quiet experiment in Adam Seward’s small, dim room, where lo-fi post-punk and shoegaze simmered in shadows.

In tracing the roots of German-Swiss trio Emily Kinski’s Dead (Oliver Spring, Thomas Kowa, René Ebner), one senses their fierce reverence for the raw, rebellious spirit of 80s post-punk and New Wave.
