I try to get these posts out as early in the day as possible, but this week was a challenge - there was simply too much good stuff to check out! I didn't even get to everything that caught my eye. That's a good problem to have, right? Anyway, below we've got some new versions of old materials and a bunch of great new stuff, including a few that really push the boundaries of metal. Raise the horns and read on!

Many of my posts from the old Weebly version of my site didn't port over when I brought Both Kinds of Heavy to its new home. I'll be reposting all of my essays that got left out here as standalone posts. But to recreate all my link-heavy New Music Friday posts would be time consuming, to say the least. so as a half-measure, all missing entries are linked below. 

After a week away at the festival of a lifetime, I'm back with more new music recommendations. It's not a particularly stacked week, but I've got some gems for you that are new today, as well as a few things I missed last week.
