LET'S GET FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH STARTED!
Thrice As Strong by Ogre (Cruz Del Sur) 10/25/19
As the lard's honest truth, this album was picked because it has the word thrice in the title. So many people point out to me that no one else says thrice anymore.
Well, everybody else, Ogre does.
Thrice Is Strong could've been some super bland black metal, or techo-prog-death-melo-apple-core for all I knew, but they're a throwback metal band. Their sound falls somewhere between Black Sabbath and Manilla Road.
There's not a single new trail blazed on this record, but who cares? Getting Metal 1.2 in 2019 is pretty awesome.
Great production and engineering creates an instant classic.

Black Sky by MNRVA 10/4/19
Newcomers to the scene, MNRVA formed just about a year ago in the very semi-metal Columbia, SC.
This October, they're ready to drop their debut EP on us and I'm glad to be in the line of fire for this fuzzed out, whack nuts, Sloner-Moom Detal.
Really, there's not a lot here that would be considered nouveau, but they do what they do ever so well.
If you're looking for the leaders of the new wave of nouveau sludge metal, this probably isn't it, but when all you need is a new group of Defenders of the Faith...
This should keep you sated. It's a more than worth debut from a very young band.

Planet Loss by Wallowing 9/13/19 (Sludgelord Records)
Growing up, my exposure to punk rock was merely the caricatures one sees in movies and on TV. None of this is to say that I'm talking about a punk record now, but this is somewhat of a grindcore record which has always seem to have the reckless ferocity of punk rock, just taken to a metal extreme.
Wallowing is angry and itching for a fight.
Where they take a slight detour is the length of their songs, though, progressive, isn't precisely a label that I would tag them with. Repetitions on a theme is probably more appropriate.
Their punk attitude combined with metal attitude and the selfishness of refusing to stop even though the club has turned the house lights on make this an album you may not wish to miss if you can appreciate amorphous metal.
