The GMVC May release comes from #WORM! Their bone-shaking album #FOREVERGLADE is pressed on Gimme Exclusive Green/Yellow Marble vinyl. "This affinity for switching between genres might be Worm’s biggest strength... It’s a tricky thing to pull off: Without finely textured production, the style can easily sound cheap in a way that betrays its supposed epicness." -PITCHFORK Join the Club to get the exclusive album: @20buckspinlabel

"It is impossible to talk about American contributions to music without acknowledging one of the most monumental movements of the past forty years: grunge. While grunge is usually referenced in the same breath as the pop-adjacent Nevermind, the genre has a plethora of mean-mug-inducing additions to the heavy metal lexicon. On no album is this more masterfully done than #AliceInChains’ 1992 album Dirt." Check out all of Cooper's Top 10 American Metal albums & the 4th of July collection in the Gimme Metal store!👇

It's been just over a month since Arizona's @Gatecreeper released their third full-length LP, DARK SUPERSTITION (@nuclearblast), and they are already road-testing these songs in the US & have a European tour planned to support the record.

Make sure to give them a listen🤘 📸credit: Getty Images

"Odd Fellows Rest is the crown jewel of NOLA’s contribution to sludgy, repentless, and severely bereaved music. Each dirge-like track of this behemoth is teeming with depravity; each note sinks its teeth ever-further into the void sitting in immensity in the chest of every listener." 🤘 Shop the 4th of July collection, pick 3 items & get the 4th one FREE! 👇

"Anyone wondering why #DimebagDarrell is among metal’s most legendary guitarists need look no further than #CowboysFromHell. Yet these riffs are infinitely approachable and invite any would-be guitarist to play along. “Primal Concrete Sledge,” for example, is among the tastiest riffs of the 90s and only has two notes."
