Chat Pile

Here at Revolver, we re always on the hunt for new songs to bang our heads to — indeed, it s a big part of our jobs. With that in mind, here are the tracks released this week in deathcore, black metal, goth rock and more that have been on heavy rotation at Revolver HQ. For your listening pleasure, we ve also compiled the songs in an ever-evolving Spotify playlist. Chat Pile Deep Blue Though Chat Pile said they were channeling the “fake Led Zeppelin” vibes of English rocker Robin Trower on their new single, we feel like the Oklahoman noiseniks might be putting us on a bit with that comparison. Rather than let the good times roll with cocksure bluesy swagger, “Deep Blue” harnesses dire, detuned, avalanche-triggering sludge lines. Vocalist Ray Busch is existentially deflated, exhausted by technology and frustrated by the false narrative we create for ourselves as we “move deeper into screens.” Maybe that emptiness lines up with the lines of Trower’s “Lonely is the Night,” after all. Hulder View From Nemeton” We’re days away from summer and the sun is only getting brighter, yet gloom-casting Pacific Northwest black-metal duo Hulder are here to remind you that living in Washington State through the rest of the year can feel like having a soggy gray curtain drawn over your eyes. That said, their “View From Nemeton” is looking pretty good to us. A vicious vista of blast-manic drums and blistering trills flood the front-end of the epic cut, though it gets down right jubilant in the power-swung guitar solo section. Imminence The Sword That Never Bends Imminence’s new single is forged in steely screams, iron-wrought riffage and darkly anthemic melodies that cleave through the speakers like the mighty Excalibur. Even so, it’s still a damn delight when vocalist Eddie Berg brings his violin bow out of the scabbard to supply a few sweeter lines to this otherwise brawny beater. The Swedish band s first single for Sumerian Records arrived with a medieval music video full of sword-swinging battles and sorcerous showdowns, apparently teasing the visual aesthetic behind their next album. Whatever pops up next, if it’s anything like “The Sword That Never Bends,” it’s sure to be magical. Madball Tethered “Tethered” follows the dub-lite and anthemic rock explorations of last month’s single “Rebel Kids” with tried, tested and true NYHC gusto. In other words, Madball are bringing tough-as-leather riffs and cement-shattering grooves to the table, while vocalist Freddy Cricien mean-mugs on the mic about hard-knock livin’ on the “savage streets” of New York. “News flash, I m still here,” the singer shouts on the track. And, indeed, Madball deliver a veteran’s beatdown here — old man strength, if you will. To paraphrase Cricien s latest street-wise tale of perseverance, we re psyched Madball are “still on this wild-ass ride.” Marilyn Manson Exit Wound “I m the one. The godforsaken one.” Marilyn Manson is a veritable downer Dr. Doolittle on this first taste of his impending and long-awaited One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2, finding himself encircled by a pack of ravenous vultures and leeches. It’s the shock rocker that delivers the beastliest blow by song’s end, as he lets out an animalistic scream above a brooding fracas of slinky hi-hat grooves and see-sawing industrial riffage. There’s a line in here about swallowing a grenade, perhaps an unintended allusion to how the rest of the record could pop off big when it lands in the summer. Rev3rent - Last One Here Rev3rent’s Josh Bailey Guard is on a tear throughout his deathcore group’s ruthless new song, smearing viscera on the walls of your mind with a series of brutal screeches about “disfiguring your innocence.” From the speed pill-snorting blast sections and lightning-speed hammer-on harmonies, to the bone-snapping moshes, to the subsonic bass drops, a no-holds-barred savagery rattles each second of “Last One Here.” Filled with hate and high-energy depravity, it’s a killer next step for Rev3rent.

unpeople, Bring Me The Horizon and Ho99o9 are just some of the bands who are vying for your vote in this week's new song round-up

A good omen for grunge fans with a taste for modern heavy music, Soundgarden and onetime Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron just delivered his own percussive interpretation of Bad Omens’ “Just Pretend” for the good folks at Drumeo. Cameron is the latest drummer to think outside the box for Drumeo’s “For the First Time” YouTube series, where the hosts introduce a musician to a tune for the very first time — and without drum accompaniment — before letting the guest sort out the rhythms on their own. Past episodes include Dream Theater’s Mike Portnoy playing Taylor Swift, and the Police’s Stewart Copeland working his way around Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle).” The hosts told Cameron that they sought him out because of his proficiency with odd time signatures, as well as “the tribal kind of tom grooves that you play on a lot of different recordings.” He made the request for Drumeo not show him a Sleep Token song, just because they’d done that on a few episodes already (Cameron added that he thinks Sleep Token are pretty good). Instead, he was shown Bad Omens’ “Just Pretend,” the sixth single from the latter’s 2022 full-length, THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND. Cameron rocked the rhythms of the alt-metal ballad with a few intricate shifts, while also leaning into some slow grooves and extra accoutrement. He also discussed his process on how he plots out drum fills. The Drumeo team complimented Cameron on the sickness of his odd-placed cymbal-and-tom grooves, while the Soundgarden founder liked what he heard of the original, adding, “That s a really nice song. Great band…great songwriting. Love it.” Omens drummer Nick Folio was also shown Cameron’s reinterpretation, leading him to applaud the longtime skinsman for his outside-of-the-box embellishment, compared to Folio’s restraint. “There s a lot of pauses in that song where I don t really play, and you fill the space perfectly,” Folio said. “That was awesome. Bravo, brother.” You can see Cameron’s Bad Omens redux up above. In related news, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil just released his memoirs, A Screaming Life: Into the Superunknown With Soundgarden and Beyond.

A video for the first single "Deep Blue" is now streaming.

Oklahoma City-based quartet to release the follow-up to 2024's Cool World in September

In a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, CHAT PILE answers with something defiantly real and organic, a mentality that permeates "Who Loves The Sun", their third full-length record, due on September 4, 2026.

Though Underoath have only just begun their van tour heading to the Vans Warped Tour, the long-running post-hardcore group are now also setting their sights on a 20th anniversary run celebrating 2006’s Define the Great Line. Better yet, they’ll be topping a bill that also features metalcore mainstays August Burns Red, Atreyu and more. The new round of tour dates was confirmed today (June 9th), with it being noted that Underoath’s Define the Great Line tour begins November 5th at the Pageant in St. Louis, Missouri. The six-week trip has August Burns Red and Atreyu supporting on all dates, while As Cities Burn and Emery will appear on select dates. All the opening bands were selected because they’ve been friends of Underoath’s “since the beginning.” “What this album has meant to us, and so many others, over the past 20 years is hard to quantify,” guitarist Chris Dudley said of Define the Great Line. “It gave us permission to be ourselves. It sent us around the world. It gave people the freedom to say (and scream) the things out loud they had buried deep. It will outlive us. “We still play these songs on stage 20 years later and get those chills. The opportunity to devote an entire tour to presenting this album in the best way it ever has been, alongside friends we’ve had since before it was released, is going to be bucket list material for us.” A pre-sale for tickets begins today, while the general on-sale for the newly announced dates begins on Friday (June 12th). You can find more info over here. Of course, Underoath also have their aforementioned van tour — which sees them hitting a series of smaller club venues, en route to their multiple appearances on the Vans Warped Tour — on the go right now. They play Savannah, Georgia’s Victory North venue tonight. You’ll find the band’s updated and expanded tour plans in full down below.

Chat Pile are ready to beam a new album our way. The Oklahoman noise-rock quartet have confirmed that a record called Who Loves the Sun is out later this year, though you can dive right into its first creep-stomped single, “Deep Blue,” as of today. The album is Chat Pile’s first since 2024’s Cool World. A press release has vocalist Ray Busch praising “Deep Blue” — both melancholy and psyche-penetrating, low-undulated strings shimmering uncannily beneath depressively melodic musings and past-the-brink screams — “because it sounds like Chat Pile doing a Billy Squire song.” “It s our ‘Lonely Is the Night,’ which is actually a fake Led Zeppelin song so who knows what the hell we re actually doing here,” he says, adding of the song’s thematic drive, “Technology is rapidly ruining our lives, all promise seemingly squandered on the worst things, like killing people, wasting resources, destroying art — shrinking our brains and pulling us further apart than ever before.” A video, directed by Stephen Mondics, is just as unsettling, seemingly concerning a couple and the collection of seniors they keep captive in a basement. Without spoiling too much, it features blue-pilling, beard-combing, sensual dances bordering on abuse, weapon-wielding, unsafe practices with dry cleaning bags, maybe a severed head, and more. Though it’s unclear if the album title is a nod to the Velvet Underground, Chat Pile do cite Boston as having some kind of a sonic influence on the record s layering. The album is further described as reflecting “the challenges of trying to keep one s humanity in a time of extreme anti-humanity.” “This record focuses on my grievances with the modern world,” Busch continues. “AI, genocide, climate change, the power elite, $$$$ hoarding pigs — all that shit fucks up your life and mine.” In spite of — or perhaps because of — closing with a song called “October All the Time,” Who Loves the Sun is due out September 4th through the Flenser. You can pre-order a limited-edition colored vinyl variant from Revolver’s shop. You’ll find the full tracklisting and cover art down below, along with Chat Pile’s just-announced North American tour supporting the LP.
