This week's top tracks of the week for Metal Injection consist of new singles from Anthrax, Blue Medusa, and Pro-Pain.

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 thrash, nu-gaze, djent 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. Anthrax It s For the Kids Anthrax are back in the madhouse. Won’t you join them? It has been a long time coming, but the New York thrash icons are finally pulling the trigger on their first LP in over a decade, and they’ve fired off a serious heater with Cursum Perficio’s introductory “It’s For the Kids.” Scott Ian leans into insanity-spiraling whammy bends before the group lock in with an intensely aggressive, singularly anthemic arrangement. The band and their fans bash the hell out of each other in the asylum-set music video. Pure, glorious metal madness. Beartooth Pure Ecstasy As it was foretold, a demon has been awakened within Beartooth vocalist Caleb Shomo, and he’s waging war with the world on the band’s new, heavy-edged “Pure Ecstasy.” Shomo has been undergoing personal and artistic metamorphoses, going by the lyrics to this and Beartooth’s recent “Free” single. With this latest cut — the title track to their next LP — he lets it be known that the pressure cooker has hit its boiling point and he s sick of holding himself back. Accordingly, he fully pummels the cut with a bunch of grizzly growls. Full of big-time chugs and earworm heaviness, this one was co-written by Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor — who we’ll get back to in a second. Casey Edwards Amira Elfeky Bazooka “My bazooka/Make the devils cry.” Composer Casey Edwards tapped rising alt-metal artist Amira Elfeky to sing on this track for the second season of Netflix anime Devil May Cry. While Elfeky generally brings a cool and confident croon to lines about packing “smoking sexy” artillery, the song — titled after the Kalina Ann rocket launcher hoisted by Devil May Cry’s Lady — also finds her bringing hellacious screams to the table. Edwards pairs all that with guitar-heavy, nu-bombastic explosiveness. Periphery Subhuman (Feat. Will Ramos) As you may expect, Periphery crack into subsonic djent grooves by the metric ton across their newly released LP, A Pale White Dot. While guitarists Misha Mansoor, Jake Bowen and Mark Holcomb deliver a series of freaked-out screeches and ungodly low-tuned tones on the album, a symphony of screams take center stage on “Subhuman” — both thematically, and vis-à-vis the brutal duet going on between vocalist Spencer Sotelo and Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos. The verses get nasty (“Eat, shit and breathe, but the oxygen is here for me”), but the backend breakdown is where the pair harness the “purest hate.” Primus The Ol Grizz The Ol’ Diamondback Sturgeon. Tommy the Cat. Wynona’s big brown beaver. And now the Ol’ Grizz. Primus’ animal kingdom continues to grow with a new treasure-seekin’ song about a prospector coming face-to-face with a giant bear. There’s gold in them thar arrangements, with bassist Les Claypool pulling off a dizzying array of string dynamics throughout the tap-crazed verses, a slap-happy groove and a mid-song low-end solo. Not to be outdone, Larry “Ler” LaLonde offers a stupendously bizarre fret-crawl of his own. Split Chain scatterbrain UK nu-gazers Split Chain will soon be expanding last year’s Revolver-approved motionblur to include alternate takes with guest vocals from members of Roman Candle, False Reality and more. That deluxe edition will also sport the gauzy anthem that is their newly-debuted “scatterbrain.” The track centers in on some of the Bristol quintet’s greatest strengths: bittersweet, effects-soaked guitar hooks, driving post-hardcore propulsion, and the power-ached vocal vulnerability of frontman Bert Martinez-Cowles. The singer said the song is about people pulling away from each other, and the resulting feelings of abandonment. Nothing to worry about here: By the sounds of it, we’re not going to ghost this one anytime soon.

Periphery's Misha Mansoor helped write the title track.

Beartooth are in the throes of “Pure Ecstasy.” Coming off the reflective “Free” single from earlier this year, Caleb Shomo and the rest of the metalcore act have teamed with Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor and producer Jordan Fish to premiere a track called “Pure Ecstasy,” which previews an upcoming full-length of the same name. The intro delivers down-and-dirty low-string chugs as Shomo intensely forewarns of an upcoming explosive personal epiphany (“Waking the demon I was destined to be / Begging the reaper, ‘Won’t you set me free?’”). The song sports a mix of Eighties-grade whammy squeals, skies-cresting chorus melodies and assertive screams from Shomo (“I’m not the battle, I’m the fucking war”). Per a press release, this points to how the new album apparently traffics in “both the chaos and clarity of hard-won personal growth.” “Song one is always a crucial part of an album to me. It’s gotta lock you into the vibe out of the gate,” Shomo explains in a statement. “‘Pure Ecstasy’ was birthed in a studio with Misha Mansoor, ridiculous loudspeakers, and the dumbest heaviest chugs we could chug. Once it was brought home and expanded on with Jordan Fish, there was no question it was the album opener. Play loud and kick ass.” You can set Shomo’s latest anthem free by giving the video — which finds him digging a lil’ napping ditch as the rest of Beartooth chug through the tune — up above. The upcoming, 11-song Pure Ecstasy also features recent single “Free.” In addition to work with Mansoor and Fish, the album includes songwriting contributions from Skyler Accord (Issues, Twenty One Pilots, Bilmuri), while Shomo is joined on record by bassist Oshie Bichar, guitarists Zach Huston and Will Deely, and drummer Connor Denis. The album is Beartooth’s first full-length release for Fearless Records. It’ll be released in full on August 28th, though you can pre-order an exclusive pressing on Half Blue/Half Purple with Black Splatter” vinyl (limited to 500 copies) in Revolver’s shop.

It’s finally happening — Anthrax have formally announced Cursum Perficio, their first album since 2016. To celebrate, the East Coast faction of the Big 4 have unleashed an introductory thrash attack called “It’s for the Kids.” Anthrax had both been teasing and working on the release for a number of years, but really locked into their new era over the past week after delivering a studio vid of guitarist Scott Ian wildly riffin’ on a V-shape, and then a simple socials post that read: “It’s been more than a decade…but we’re back.” They followed this up with a video teaser of a bunch of headbangers moshing in silhouette, and then a second preview that revealed a gang of longhaired Anthrax fans circle-pitting around a hospital bed. Straightjackets abounded, giving off deep “Madhouse” vibes. Now, the track and video have been unleashed din full, presenting classic thrash fury and tight-gripped riffs beneath the always powerful metal yell of lead vocalist Joey Belladonna. You’ll find Anthrax running wild with the kids in the video up above. “A friend of mine said, ‘It’s For The Kids’ is a straight-up love letter to your fans,’” Ian explains in a statement. “That’s exactly what I wanted it to be. The album needed a four-minute thrash song that harkened back to our first era. Whether it’s the aggression or the big chorus, it represents all the best parts of Anthrax in a very angry four-minute package. For the video, we wanted to throw back to our ‘Madhouse’ video thematically it just made sense and this idea opened the door for us to share the experience with our fans. For all of us!” Cursum Perficio is Anthrax’s long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s For All Kings. In the past couple years in particular, guitarist Scott Ian suggested the record would “punch people in the face,” while drummer Charlie Benante exclaimed that the album is “a Doozy.” The 11-song album was produced by Anthrax and Jay Ruston, who also mixed the LP, while executive producing duties were performed by Mike Monterulo. Album sessions began in earnest at Dave Grohl s Studio 606 in Los Angeles, California, in 2022. Cursum Perficio materializes September 26th via Megaforce, and you can pre-order a copy in Revolver s shop. Ahead of the record release, Anthrax take off on a North American summer tour with Iron Maiden and Megadeth.
