Anatomical Venus
Faster than you can groan "Not another metal act leading with 'black' in its moniker," we have the third album from Leeds, UK art-fuzz acolytes, BLACK MOTH.

Exhausting Fire
KYLESA have proven to be one of the most evolutionary metal bands of our time. Like fellow Georgians BARONESS, it's not wholly accurate to label them sludge, much less metal, though the two are the primary palettes both create in.
