What's New 6-6-25

Little Simz
AWAL

Lotus, Little Simz’s sixth album, marks a bold new chapter from one of the UK’s most visionary voices. Drawing on punk, jazz, afrobeat and beyond, it’s a genre-defying triumph, raw, fearless, and unmistakably Simz. With lyrical precision and sonic ambition, she continues to shape her era while telling her truth.

My Chemical Romance
Reprise

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge still bleeds melodrama and eyeliner, but this Deluxe Edition gives it a fresh coat of blood-red polish. Remixed by Rich Costey and repackaged with gothic flair, it includes searing 2005 BBC live cuts and new vinyl variants. A vital resurrection, proof My Chemical Romance’s howl still echoes loud and raw.

North Mississippi Allstars
New West Records

Still Shakin’ marks 25 years since Shake Hands with Shorty, and North Mississippi Allstars celebrate by honoring roots while pushing forward. Featuring Duwayne Burnside, Robert Kimbrough, and sacred steel standouts, it’s a soulful, groove-rich snapshot of their ever-evolving crew. A jubilant, reverent reminder: NMAS shows no signs of slowing.

Turnstile
Roadrunner

A bold, breathless leap forward, restless, radiant, and utterly alive. Never Enough channels the band’s Baltimore roots through a widescreen lens. Following Glow On’s Grammy-hailed breakthrough, this genre-smashing follow-up cements Turnstile as hardcore’s most visionary force—blurring lines, raising pulses, and proving once again that enough is never enough.

Orthodox
Century Media

Orthodox’s A Door Left Open cements their rise through modern hardcore’s ranks with chaotic precision and sharpened brutality. Featuring guests like Brann Dailor (Mastodon) and Andrew Neufeld (Comeback Kid), it’s a tour de force of emotional intensity and unrelenting heaviness refining their sound into something truly dangerous.

Kaonashi
Equal Vision Records

A blistering, genre-defying masterpiece that closes their ambitious concept series. Fusing death metal, intricate time changes, and technical prowess, the Philadelphia trio pushes metalcore into progressive territory. With their signature intensity, Kaonashi delivers a chaotic yet thrilling sonic conclusion to their powerful saga.

Katatonia
Napalm Records

Once again, the Swedish grandeurs of melancholic heaviness masterfully navigate the tightrope act between nocturnal darkness and Scandinavian despair while subtly weaving a sense of hope into the listener’s heart. With sonic landscapes that evoke dystopia, inner demons, purity, and beauty alike, Nightmares… stands as a testament to their enduring brilliance.

Gruesome
Relapse Records

Celebrating over a decade as the finest purveyors of old-school Death Metal inspired by the legendary Chuck Schuldiner and the many iterations of Death, Silent Echoes sees Gruesome transition away from the no-frills riff-fests heard on their Savage Lands and Twisted Prayers LPs, and shift towards a more nuanced form of terror.

Frankie and The Witch Fingers
RAS / Greenway

Trash Classic marks a feral mutation for Frankie and the Witch Fingers. It’s a record that snarls with proto-punk venom, angular melodies, and electronic textures that cough and sputter like dying neon lights under a poisoned sky. This isn’t just a record; it’s an auditory dumpster bible, a gutter gospel for those ready to dive into its filth.

Marina
BMG

Princess of Power is Marina’s bold return, her first independent release and a fierce exploration of love as a source of strength. With themes of empowerment and leadership, the album radiates with the belief that love is a superpower. A captivating and vibrant statement from one of pop’s most distinctive voices.

Pulp
Rough Trade

More is a triumphant return: witty, world-weary, and musically rich. Jarvis Cocker and co. pick up where they left off, turning adult malaise into artful pop drama. With James Ford’s deft production and the Jarv Is crew on board, this is no mere nostalgia trip, it’s a legacy-deepening masterstroke of wit, warmth and reflection.
