This week's new heavy metal releases include synth prog from a future apocalypse, Pirate jams about poop, doooooooooooom, and more!

To the metals…

Bush – The Kingdom THE WEEKLY INJECTION: New Releases From BUSH, RUMAHOY, and More Out Today – 7/17

Genre: Grunge/rock
Origin: London, England
Label: BMG

Admittedly Bush aren't the heaviest band in the world, but Gavin was part of Frank's Slay At Home Fest, so these guys will always get a nod from me. The Kingdom is a collection of solid rock songs with tons of catchy melodies. The band have clearly matured since the days of Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase, but fans of those records will have a lot to enjoy here.

Conan/Deadsmoke – Doom Sessions Vol. 1 THE WEEKLY INJECTION: New Releases From BUSH, RUMAHOY, and More Out Today – 7/17

Genre: Doom
Origin: Liverpool, England/Bolzano, Italy
Label: Heavy Psych Sounds Records

Buy now on Bandcamp

Here's on for the slow-seekers (fuzz-seekers? Come on Doughboys fans, what are you calling yourselves in this?). Conan and Deadsmoke are both well-respected doomsters and this split serves as a good introduction to them both. Conan have the whopping seventeen minute epic that you can stream below while Deadsmoke are offering up a pair of equally heavy tunes.

Dark Sarah – Grim THE WEEKLY INJECTION: New Releases From BUSH, RUMAHOY, and More Out Today – 7/17

Genre: "Cinematic" metal
Origin: Kerava, Finland
Label: Napalm

"Cinematic" is a pretty apt description for this band. Vocally you're getting an soaring operatic approach, while musically Dark Sarah blend sweeping orchestral movements, driving electronics, and metal stuff (if you're into that sort of thing). This one is for fans of Leaves' Eyes and, of course, singer Heidi Parviainen's former band Amberian Dawn.

Entry – Detriment THE WEEKLY INJECTION: New Releases From BUSH, RUMAHOY, and More Out Today – 7/17

Genre: Hardcore
Origin: Los Angeles, California
Label: Southern Lord

Entry hit hard and they hit quick. Detriment is an album of nine hardcore bursts that will leave you on your ass. Too often, a band like this is a little too one-note, but Entry take listeners through a diverse heavy landscape with punk, hardcore, crust, and more subgenres in that realm that I'm frankly too ignorant of to name.

Rumahoy – Time II: Party THE WEEKLY INJECTION: New Releases From BUSH, RUMAHOY, and More Out Today – 7/17

Genre: Pirate rock
Origin: Argentina
Label: Napalm

While everyone still waits for Wintersun's sequel to Time I, Rumahoy took it upon themselves to do it for them. Time II: Party has these these guys setting sail and bringing the pirate party with anthems. Has this sort of thing been done? Sure, but this is a fun album that is somehow sillier than the rest. It could be because the other Pirate metal acts don't have songs about poop, and frankly they're cowards for not having songs about poop.

Zombi – 2020 THE WEEKLY INJECTION: New Releases From BUSH, RUMAHOY, and More Out Today – 7/17

Genre: Progressive
Origin: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Label: Relapse Records

This year has been a journey already, and just based on this experience so far I was hesitant to check out the new Zombi. I figured I'd give the band's first album in five years a shot, and I'm glad I eventually caved. This is a synth-driven prog journey that despite being named after our current year, sounds like a message from the future. It's a message of doom still, but it sounds like pretty sweet doom.
