We also got new songs from Carcass, At The Gates, BIG | BRAVE & The Body, SPEED, Section H8, Witch Vomit, Unto Others, Voices, and more. Read on for all the heavy music we posted this week...
AT THE GATES - "THE FALL INTO TIME"

ANTHESIS / BOTFLY / CELL PRESS / GREBER SPLIT
This very cool four-way split on No Funeral Records comes from four Canadian bands, three of which offer up towering post-metal (Anthesis, Cell Press, and Greber) and one of which is more in the Dinosaur Jr/Torche sludge-pop realm (Botfly). The split also has ambient interludes from Clouds Become Oceans (the solo project of Anthesis guitarist Scott Miller).

WITCH VOMIT - ABHORRENT RAPTURE EP

EIGHTEEN VISIONS - "THEM BONES" (ALICE IN CHAINS COVER)
Second wave metalcore vets Eighteen Visions have released a cover of Alice In Chains' classic "Them Bones." They mostly stay faithful to the original, but they add a little more "-core" in there. It's cool stuff.

DREG - PRAXIS I: TURBINE BLADE GORE EP
NJ's DREG dropped this brief EP that falls somewhere between sass and metalcore (and includes a song featuring cybergrind solo artist Blind Equation), and if you've been into the stuff coming out of this realm lately (Wristmeetrazor, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Kaonashi, etc), this is definitely worth a listen.
