I’ve kind of tried to make extra effort since the start of the new year to keep up listening to the latest albums as they come out (I’m fortunate enough to have a Google Play Music account and I use it profusely).
Since I’ve listened to so many new albums this month, I thought I’d share with you my four favorites.
Check the list out here.

Louisiana nu metallers Cane Hill have released their newest track “It Follows” via RevolverMag.com.
“It Follows” comes off the band’s forthcoming album Too Far Gone due out January 19 via Rise Records.
About “It Follows”, singer Elijah Witt told Revolver, “This was a really fun song to write and it probably took us the longest. It’s heavy and catchy all at once. We were trying to go for full on ‘metal epic’ without over-reaching and I think we did just that.”
Cane Hill will be hitting the road soon to tour with Of Mice & Men, Blessthefall and Fire From the Gods.
Check out “It Follows” as well as other recent Cane Hill tracks and the band’s upcoming tour dates here.

If you were only allowed to pick one black metal album to hear for the rest of 2019, I would strongly suggest you choose False's Portent. A dizzying leap forward from an already very talented and rightfully well regarded act, it does not take long into ten minute opener "A Victual to Our Dead Selves" for the song to grab your undivided attention and never let go. Dedicated to the memory of several friends, the record is professional, passionate, heartbreaking and exhilarating. "Rime On The Song Of Returning" is an exceptionally poetic ode to natural abandon that seems to question our size in the scope of the march of time. The band have never sounded more precise, empowered and fiery, like there is a fortune teller at band practice urging them to claim destiny's heights. If this album holds significance of metal's future it is one that honors the best of the past while boding very well for the genre's horizons.
