Atlanta-based metalcore act Norma Jean will release its new album, 'Polar Similar,' on September 9 via Solid State Records. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere its new song, "Synthetic Sun." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Vocalist Cory Brandan said, "'Synthetic Sun' is one of our favorite songs to play from the record. It was a lot of fun to write being that it's a bit more technical in spots and a song that we actually recorded a lot differently than the other songs as well—using lower gain settings on our amps, playing with our fingers instead picks in spots, stuff like that. It's a very different song behind the scenes of 'Polar Similar.' The song deals with watching a very close loved one destroy themselves and feeling helpless in their wake. Seeing someone stop being the person you used to know and change or move into something else."

Canadian hardcore act Exalt will release its new album, 'The Shape You Took Before the Ache,' on September 9 via Good Fight Music/ New Damage Records. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere its new track, "Sacrifice to Purify." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Vocalist Tyler Brand said, "'Sacrifice to Purify' is a song that we believe exemplifies the diversity our new album holds, sonically and lyrically. As the first track of our record, we think it starts the album off in a way that embodies the heaviness but also peculiarity the record has in store."

There probably aren't too many bands or artists who love it when their concert audiences spend more time staring at their phones—or taking duck-face selfies—than watching the band perform.

FYI: Corey Taylor of Slipknot hates it.

In fact, he's pretty much adopted the policy of destroying any phones he sees at his shows. "I see it every once in a while," Taylor told radio station WRIF in 2014. "People don't do it so much at our shows, and if they do, they do it from quite a ways back, because I empty whole water bottles into people as soon as I see them staring at their phone or tweeting or whatever."

Which brings us to an incident that took place at a Slipknot show this past weekend. In the photos and (very brief) video below, watch as Taylor smacks the phone out of a front-row fan's hand. The fan was texting at the time.

Taylor has been discussing the incident with fans on Twitter.

Periphery have released a new song and animated music video, "Marigold." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

The prog metal group will release its fifth album, 'Periphery III: Select Difficulty,' on July 22 via Sumerian Records.

"'Marigold' was written pretty early in the album writing sessions," guitar player Mark Holcomb explains. "It had been a song that anchored the songwriting direction for P3. The technicality, sense of melody, orchestration and big choruses lend itself to what I feel most of this record is about."

Wes Richardson directed the video. He had previously worked with the band on the video for "Alpha," from the band's 2015 'Juggernaut' releases.

"Working with Wes has become second nature for the band," continues Holcomb. "This is his fourth video for us. Not only is he uniquely gifted but he also understands the visual aesthetic of Periphery, as well as having a sense of humor that runs parallel to ours."

Kansas-based death metal squad Unmerciful—which features former members of Origin—will release its new album, 'Ravenous Impulse,' on July 22 via Unique Leader. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere its new song, "Habitual Savagery." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Guitarist Clint Appelhanz said, "Another taste of things to come metal friends. 'Habitual Savagery' has been waiting in the wings for quite a while and now we are happy to unleashed it. With what John Longstreth brings to the drums and Tony Reust does on backing vocals, this song has become one of our personal favorites."
