Julia Holter “World,” from Loud City Song (out Aug. 20)
“Watching You” isn’t the best example of Surgeon’s heavily melodic, progressive metal (emphasis on prog, btw), but hint at the Philly trio’s power-leanings on Chemical Reign. Think Pharaoh or latter-day Hammers of Misfortune. In any case, feeling this record.
There’s a thundering anthem in the midst of the progressive metal band’s twisted song structure. Hear “Thoughts Like Hammers” from Enslaved’s forthcoming 12th album, RIITIIR, at NPR Music.
