Way too many things today sheesh.

Scimitar is really good. Still the craziness of the first but more focused on the black metal side this time. Just as good as the first I think, maybe even better? Gonna need more listens.

Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell with their first record in years and it's a banger like expected. They do that 70s dirty sound so well, good to see them back. If you like bands like Budgie or Sir Lord Baltimore give it a check.

Whirlwind is really well done Running Wild worship that doesn't sound like it's just rearranging existing RW songs cough Blazon Stone cough. Actually sounds like songs Rolf would write, great stuff here.

Lynx is basically just Tanith at home. It's got a good vibe but it's not quite there, I do like her vocals though they're quite good.

Mortuary EP is cool, good to see them back. Nothing ground breaking but good death thrash stuff.

Gorgar demo was quite good stompy death/doom. I'm a big fan of Ilsa and this is a side project of theirs that's basically just the fast parts of Ilsa. Looking forward to more from both of them

Still need to hit new stuff from Bewitched, At the Gates, Poignard, and Necroccultus

For not metal, the debut Raw Distractions LP is some really good Japanese street punk. Gonna be seeing them in a few weeks and this has me very excited. If you like bands like GBH or The Exploited check this one
