As the Olympics continue, drawing the eyes and ears of everybody who works from home, it can be hard to turn away and find the time for metal. However, heavy music had another blinder of a week over the past seven days, with everybody from symphonic metal titans to post-rock beloveds releasing great new tunes.
But first, the results of last week’s poll! Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil and Jinjer all had excellent shows, as did metalcore underdogs Ligature Marks, whose track Pray And Suffocate earned a respectable silver metal in the public vote. However, victory went to progressive metal mavens Opeth, who re-embraced their death metal roots on comeback single §1. Top work lads!
