Static-X Shares Official Video For “Otsego Placebo”
“Otsego Placebo” is the tenth track from Static-X’s 2020 release, Project Regeneration: Vol. 1.
Song of the Day — Perfect Nightmare: “Violence”
New Music Alert! Thunderous Jones: “HeREtiC”
UK metal band Thunderous Jones returns with their new single, “HeREtiC.” The track is off their forthcoming EP A Heart From Hell, set to be released in early 2024.
“HeREtiC” comes in like a punch to the face, with brutal riffs, a driving beat, and dark lyrics that express the more harrowing side of religion. The play between thrash and groove, paired with harsh vocals interspersed with cleans that are reminiscent of Corey Taylor, give this song balance and keeps the ear interested. And that’s all before even mentioning the breakdown around the 3-minute mark.
“HeREtiC” is available to stream on all major digital platforms as of today! You can check out the video on Spaceuntravel’s YouTube channel!
Be sure to find and follow Thunderous Jones on all their socials:
