Philadelphia traditional metal outfit Corners of Sanctuary unleash “Crimson Sky,” their first original single following recent reissues of Taking Cover: A Digital Copy and Metal Machine.

THE SPENT PRIESTS
The Spent Priests Just Dragged Their Darkest Thoughts Into the Light and It Hits Like a Wrecking Ball
Brooklyn’s The Spent Priests deliver their rawest statement yet with “Problem Attic” a blunt-force alt rock reckoning with self-destruction, failed therapy, and a mind too cluttered with static to find its way out. Riff-heavy, brutally self-aware, and darkly confessional, the track sits at the crossroads of Queens of the Stone Age’s desert menace and Nirvana’s coiled fury. Road-tested across New York, New Jersey, and Ireland, this is The Spent Priests unfiltered. Turn it up.
For fans of Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, The Stooges, Soundgarden

BROTHER VENUS
Brother Venus Turns Depression Into a Battle Cry With “Can’t Look Away”
Brother Venus doesn’t ease listeners in on “Can’t Look Away” the full band hits immediately, guitar hook front and center. Borrowed chords from the parallel minor keep the verses restless, tension building through dissonant turns before the chorus finally lets go. Three-part vocal harmonies stack against a guitar hook doing double duty as counter-melody, and a bridge built on a three-over-four polyrhythm brings genuine rock muscle, twangy guitar melodies and gang vocals included. Lyrically, the track sits with the disorientation of depression feeling like a stranger in your own head but pushes toward self-compassion and resilience. The message: mistakes repeat, darkness returns, but the light is always worth reaching for again.
For fans of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots
