British grindcore heavyweights Napalm Death have premiered a new song, "Cesspits." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Vocalist Mark 'Barney' Greenway said, "'Cesspits' is both literally and figuratively about people living in holes. It is perhaps one of the ultimate indignities and one of those things that a blind eye is often turned to. The subject matter called for a very savage delivery, and although there are quite a few musical facets to this song, it doesn't stop letting rip."
The band's new album, 'Apex Predator - Easy Meat,' is out January 27 via Century Media Records.
San Fransisco duo Little Envy will release their self-titled full-length on December 2 via South x Sea. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new song and music video for "Boy." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Joseph de los Reyes said, "Our song 'Boy' is about being stuck inside your head and struggling to make decisions. We aimed to create a strangely dark and somewhat uncomfortable video that depicts a mind being teased and manipulated by forces it can't control."
To get 'Little Envy,' visit iTunes. For more on Little Envy, follow them on Facebook.
Dublin, Ireland rock act Wounds will release their full-length debut album, 'Die Young,' on November 24 via Razor & Tie.

During the making of 'Wounds,' guitarist James Coogan fell off a balcony—landing him in a coma and struggling for life. After months of reconstructive surgery and physical therapy, despite being told by doctors that he'd never play guitar again, Coogan defied the odds and finished the album.

Straightedge hardcore act XTRMST, whose members are AFI lead vocalist Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget, will release their self-titled album on November 18 via Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new song, "Merciless." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
"The straightedge philosophy is something that we gravitated toward at a young age, drawn by concepts and ideals that seem almost foreign in modern society," says the band. "Like much of the other subcultures we were a part of growing up, it put us at odds with 99% of the people around us, which was something we embraced. It seemed natural that this crucial ideology would find a musical expression."

New York hardcore act Misery Kills (formerly Misery), will release their new album,'My Ugly Insides,' on January 20, 2015. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere a new song, "13 Miles." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Vocalist John LoCasto says, "Lyrically, '13 Miles' is about the unfortunate person that can't catch a break, has no luck and nothing ever goes his or her way. Some people say I think negatively, I say I think reality. Who says metal is suppose to be comforting? But it is our therapy."

Swedish rock band Kamchatka, which features ex-Opeth musician Per Wiberg, will released their album, 'The Search Goes On,' earlier this year. Today, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere a song from the new material they are working on. Check it out "Ain't Fallin'" below and let us know what you think.
Vocalist-guitarist Thomas "Juneor" Andersson says, "This straight-forward rocker is about living life your way. We only have one. Stand up for your beliefs and don't get fooled by smiles hiding greed and evil.
"I got this song idea after reading 'The Strain' trilogy by Chuck Hogan and Guillermo Del Toro. Why? I don't know, but I guess it reminded me of how fragile life is and how important it is to live life your way. In my case, it's all about making music and playing the hell out of it with Kamchatka."

San Francisco punk rock act Western Addiction released a new song, "I'm Not the Man That I Thought I'd Be," on a limited edition 10" for this year's Fest. Today, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere the track—which you can check out below.
Vocalist Jason Hall said, "I was initially nervous to share this song with the band. It's very 'rock' and we are definitely not a 'rock' band. It's a duet, which is somewhat odd for our style of band but I've had this vision for how the song should sound for quite some time and I really wanted a female vocalist to record with us. Our friend Dara from Serpent Crown sang the second verse. She's a metal vocalist so it made it even cooler. The song is about how life never really turns out how you imagined, for both men and women, and sometimes you just feel 'average' despite your best efforts. It's like saying you are going to do something tomorrow, but you just never do it and one day you are too old and your window has passed. Sorry, that's depressing, but the rock will make you feel good. Thanks for listening."
Western Addiction are busy recording new material for a full-length release next year on Fat Wreck Chords. A limited amount of the vinyl will be available next week. For more on Western Addiction, follow them on Facebook.

In the aftermath of Wayne Static's tragic passing, 9Electric have uploaded a new mix of their track, "Destroy As You Go," for free to the masses to help celebrate Wayne's life.
9Electric states: "Today would have been Wayne Static's 49th birthday. For all the fans of Wayne Static who are mourning his untimely passing as we are, we offer the gift of the song "Destroy As You Go," as a free download and YouTube stream.
"We recorded the song in late 2010, before we had played our first show in 2011. Wayne was gracious enough to lend his voice to the track and he and his wife Tera even had a bit of a laugh at how reminiscent the song was to Static-X's sound. It was such a fun day in the studio recording the song as the video below illustrates. In 2012, Wayne took us out on the road and even jumped on stage a few times to rock 'DESTROY' with us! Wayne believed in 9E from the very start and we will always be incredibly grateful for the opportunities that he gave our band.
"Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers, as they are suffering during this time of mourning. We need to come together as a family to say happy birthday, thank you and goodbye to an icon and a kind man that we were lucky enough to call a friend."
R.I.P. Wayne Static
