Best New Metal Releases August 2019: Witch Vomit, Excuse, Anticosm, Deadwood Lake, Dialith 

Thanks for the kind words. Cheers 🤘🏻

Thank you for including Deadwood Lake’s new album ‘Immortalised In Death’ on this list! If you are interested in listening to more of our music, all of our previous releases are available for free download from: www.deadwoodlake.bandcamp.com Immortalised In Death is available to order from UKEM Records We are a melodic / atmospheric black metal band from the UK which formed in memory of one of our members brothers, who passed away in a car accident in 2015. All of our lyrics are in tribute to him and the songs cover aspects of his life, his passing and the effects that grief has had on his family and friends. Thanks for your time!

"This is from Danbury, Connecticut, i'm not sure where in Europe that is" lol nice

Thank you so much for naming the cover artists/illustrators. I knew Metastazis work but not the other artists, so it is great to dive into these names besides the bands works :)

Also got Devourment and Shadow of Intent on August 16th

Witch Vomit and Excuse those two bands are totally my thing, great picks

That paper sure got some beating!

Totally stoked for the new Dialith album. Sounds amazing so far plus the vocalist has an incredible voice! Great pick for this video.

Shadow of Intent should have been on here. Those two singles they've released has made it my most anticipated album of the year.

I'm super hyped to watch Dylan reviewing the new Tool Record.

Thanks for shouting out a clean vocal release! I like the extreme side of metal more, but variety is the spice of life or whatever.

I'm so stoked for that Witch Vomit album. I got the same LP pre-order as well, and am looking forward to just being stoned and admiring it for a very long minute before putting it on the record player

Just here to say: love the extreme Metal Monthly suggestions, keep 'em coming!

Love this month's episode. All the "accessible" stuff is great because I'm a metal normie and every one of these I was like "hmm this sounds sick."

We forced Blayne to review Rammstein now lets band together and force him to review Slipknot ;)

Oh dang, Dialith sounds pretty good. Not really into power metal but this works. Great video, guys!

And surprisingly, Dialith is the one I had to immediately order this month! Witch Vomit was already on my radar since 20 Buck Spin and do no wrong when it comes to death metal.

Holy shit all of your picks for this month are great! You nailed it Blayne!

"a lot of power metal ..... is bad" lmao

Shout out for the Power Metal!

This is literally Joy of Painting for metalheads.

Love the Witch Vomit shoutout. Killer band. Stoked for the new album.

Thanks Blayne for this post 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have a heavy metal album out on the 16th of August called Infest the Rats' Nest

That opening Dreadwood Lake riff though.....

Can’t believe Blane never mentioned the Devourment record

Love when you guys actually play the music. All of these albums sound like straight 🔥🔥🔥 from the soundbites. Thank you Blayne and banger, Yoda bless you beautiful Canadian motherfuckers 🖤🖤🖤

This is one of those months where I like EVERYTHING featured in the video (even Dialith)

I have yet to hear a band with the word “witch” in its name to be bad. I always thoroughly enjoy them!

Dialith sounded the coolest out of the list i think I'll check all them out though great picks dude

Mgła will be releasing new album they've released first song on no solace

Definitely looking forward to the new Witch Vomit. & thanks Blayne, have a few new bands I have to check out. Interested in Dialith and Deadwood Lake

Deadwood Lake are good friends of mine. So glad to see them get some attention

20 Buck Spin is also putting out new Cerebral Rot on Aug 16.

Hit the nail on the head with that Dialith recommendation. Great stuff!

Looking forward to Deadwood Lake most definitely

"A lot of power metal is bad". FFS, Blayne a lot (most, actually) of any sub (sub-sub-sub) genre of metal is bad, that's why I subscribe and support all y'all. So you and the rest of the Banger crew can go sift through the shit to find the gems for me to enjoy. And you're all doing a damn fine job.

That Dialith record looks amazing 😮🤘🏼

Could you run the samples at least until we can hear the vocals? Vocals are a big factor for me, and the first few samples dropped to the background as soon as the vocals started. Hearing a verse/chorus might give a better feel for the song than the intro.

That Dialith song really sounds like Dream Theater until the singer starts. The guitar tone is classic Petrucci and Rudess wouldn't disown these synths.

Was there 2 songs playing over each other at the end?

As a power metal fan you hit the nail on the head when you said alot of it is bad. 80% bad 15% good and 5% fucking amazing

Beyond stoked for that Witch Vomit album! Fuck yeah! Excuse sounds pretty cool too, going to have to check that out.

I always end up buying all these records.

Fuck! I got really excited for that Deadwood Lake release until I realized it’s not out yet! Been craving some new melodic black metal with some added atmospheric elements :)

That Anticosm record sounds fucking sick. Really cool and disorienting sound, cant wait to hear more

Daaaaaamn that Witch Vomit song RIPPPSSS!!!

One other August suggestion.. If you like some clean traditional prog-metal. The Aussie band "Hemina" is out with "Night Echoes" on the 9th. If you like Symphony X/Anneke van Giersbergen/Ayeron flavor of prog metal Hemina should be right up your alley.

Nice Video. The Problem with Power Metal is that the most People think in the first way about Sabaton, Visions of Atlantis and all that corny shit. But Dialith sounds more like Iced Earth which is for me Power Metal. You have this Power in the Guitars, the sick solos and hard Songs. Not this "how many Keybords audio options i get in this SOng" Songs. Very nice. Now i have a lot to here. I begin with Witch Vomit. Very nice Death metal. Thx Dude and keep on going \m/

Cattle Decapitation

All of these bands sound good to me! Niiiiice, thanks Blayne!

I wish you could've seen the grin on my face when you showed me Dialith 8D

Really hope the new Devourment record gets a review, surprised they were not mentioned despite their legendary status and overall importance to the extreme metal scene

Hell yeah! South Texas Metal!!! Overt Enemy! My side of the world! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Thanks for mentioning them!

Excuse and Anticosm sound fucking amazing. Will be looking those up for sure. Thrash is my main shit... Deadwood Lake and Witch Vomit sound pretty damn good as well. Dialith.... yeah. Sounds decent, but, I need to hear those vocals.... I can't stand most "operatic" vocals in metal. I can do clean vocals, but that overly cheeseball operatic stuff.... nope.

SUICIDAL ANGELS Years Of Aggression ....Best August release by light years.

The "Nucular Blast" comment had me in tears

another entertaining episode Blayne...looking forward to hearing the new Witch Vomit...

I’m so excited for the Witch Vomit album I bought the long sleeve in 90° weather!

Illdisposed releasing new album this month, surely needs a mention or review 🤘🏻

ARMS

I'm pretty sure Witch Vomit is taking my vote for album of the year this year

I listen for anything that sound cool to me, so thanks for the variance and fun at the end :)

knocked loose!

I'm digging the Superstition album. The Anatomy of Unholy Transformation. No-one seems to mention it. However, I'm halfway through this video so he might. Check it out!! Great deAth metal. Last years demo kicks your face in as well. Could be considered in same ballpark as Tomb Mold and bands similar. 👍

Witch Vomit are always a blast and I'll have to check out Deadwood Lake. Sounded cool. When you get that Witch Vomit LP, show it on the Twitch stream, please!!! BTW, I'm the weirdo called Fishpunch on Twitch. See ya there!

Loved the widdly widdly Metal Monthly clean singing intro! Also, love the Metalucifer shirt! And... well fuck, Witch Vomit have a new fan here! Thanks Blayne! \m/

Knocked Loose and Shadow of Intent also release albums this August...

WRAITH Album: Absolute power

Thanks Blane! Now Iv'e got to go find this Connecticut place. Might have to cross the Ocean fist so see you in half a year or so.

Blayne you my fav, these vids are my fav, this channel is my fav

Holy shit I live near Danbury! Glad to see some locals get some love

thanks

I’m diggin Excuse

Deadwood lake \m/

Sounes good! Checked these bands out and I likw them but you have any recommendations for goth bands?

Hell yeah Witch Vomit

No clean singing is a rule, not a complaint

My band played with Dialith, solid people in that band...P.S. Finally new good music is being released. Up until July this year has SUCKED! Witch Vomit and Diocletian!

This dude is like watching a 13 year old goof ball at heart . It's cool though.

0:46 Idk why but I can't stop laughing

Awesome

Witch Vomit all the way baby. Bit of a shame that they are not gonna get any better cover art than the one in their last EP.

Deadwood Lake are raw

I love when bands really put the “fun” in death mfunetal

Best Excuse I ever heard! Bought it from Shadow Kingdom's Bandcamp!

How did he not mention Knocked Loose's new record " A Different Shade of Blue" ? oh well all those bands were really good picks I jut wish Knocked Loose were shown some more love, they're so good

That exuse song was basically rattlehead by megadeth

Dont forget Devourment and Pathology. Which I'm personally most excited for

Green screen seemed a little off today. Reviews are always stellar.

And hey. Hey.

Where is Alien from Northlane it's a great album

Deadwood lake awesome yess!!! Omg the slapping the paper pages was doing my tits in lol please stop doing that dude

Love this channel! Overt Enemy \m/

New full length from Lordgore drops this week.

Lots of 2019 video from Wacken festival. Numerous platforms. Always epic. 2020 lineup already announced.

Nice shirt Blayne

the intros are Always the best

Don’t forget Cerebral Rot!

I would love to hear banger TVs opinion of shadow of intent...they have, coming August 16, a total of three albums and a horrible ep...trust me just start with primordial...primordial was what the ep wanted to be but failed. Reclaimer I feel banger fans would enjoy most and compliments those clean vocals everyone is looking for. Those beautiful boys sure know how to write music.
