Heavy Music of the Week is a function on Heavy Consequence breaking down the highest steel, punk, and onerous rock tracks you might want to hear each Friday. This week, No. 1 goes to Dying Want’s newest single “Revenge in Carnage.”
“Revenge in Carnage” is the newest single from Dying Want’s upcoming album Flesh Stays Collectively, and a complete pummeler — way more bruising than lead single and former HSOTW inclusion “I’ll Know You’re Not Round.”
The Portland, Oregon band rides a crushing mosh riff throughout the verses as vocalist Emma Boster unleashes among the nastiest howls and snarls we’ve heard all 12 months. The refrain has a bit of unpolluted singing to chase the cruel vox, however there’s in any other case no respite till the minute-long outro. Right here, Boster sings angelically over calming atmosphere — a kind of comedown after two minutes of carnage, because the tune title itself aptly places it.

Honorable Mentions:
Bent Sea – “My Fall”
Bent Sea are a grindcore supergroup that includes Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren, Aborted vocalist Sven de Caluwé, and Napalm Demise bassist Shane Embury. And “bent” is true; the primary riff here’s a twisted and gnarled piece of guitarwork. There’s an enormous payoff when the refrain opens up right into a extra standard-time groove, however don’t get too comfortable. That sick riff comes again round.
Chat Pile and Hayden Pedigo – “Radioactive Goals”
Chat Pile’s upcoming collab album alongside guitar-picking wizard Hayden Pedigo pairs two stalwarts of the Oklahoma underground music scene. Whereas their respective music might sound disparate, Chat Pile and Pedigo meld nicely collectively on lead single “Radioactive Goals” — the previous getting an opportunity to mellow out a bit whereas the latter’s imaginative and sometimes instrumental Americana lastly will get vocals by way of the ominous bellows of Chat frontman Raygun Busch. The monitor rises to a heavy crescendo throughout its midsection, however for probably the most half, it is a lush post-rock tour and an efficient change of tempo for all artists concerned.
Mudvayne – “Harm Individuals Harm Individuals”
Mudvayne are about to embark on a twenty fifth anniversary tour celebrating their debut L.D. 50, making it an ideal time to drop new music — their first single in 16 years. Even higher, it sounds prefer it might have been from that album: a lean, no-filler groover with a correct industrial steel therapy on the vocal combine. The sonic harshness is a callback to the band’s most aggressive materials within the 2000s, however that belies an in any other case constructive morality expressed in Chad Grey’s lyrics. Stated Grey of the tune: “’Harm Individuals Harm Individuals’ has most likely been round for the reason that starting of man. Actually longer than the phrase ever existed. The infinite cycle of projecting our ache onto others. I believe I wrote this tune as a reminder to myself to interrupt the cycle. We create our personal struggling, our personal harm. It’s time for us to create self-love and let go of the ache. It was by no means ours to start with.”
