Sunday: Killswitch Engage - Loyalty

     A few weeks ago I posted about the latest one-off from Mastodon, a new track called "White Walker" they cooked up for a Game of Thrones compilation album, of all things. It's actually a surprisingly good track (ie: not just a shitty cash-in), so I figure you might want to know if there's anything else cool on the second Catch the Throne mixtape.

     And lo, there's at least one other Thrones-themed cut from this record that you might be interested in. Or not. Either way, bottom line, there's a new Killswitch Engage song for you to jam. Most of the songs off this Catch the Throne mixtape have a particular Game of Thrones-related subject, and Killswitch's "Loyalty" is focused on the southern kingdom of Dorne and its ruling House Martell.

     If that kind of nerdiness means nothing to you, try this: "Loyalty" feels a little like it could have appeared on 2013's Disarm the Descent in terms of its balance of hookyness and heaviness. If you dug anything from Jesse's return to the band, check this one out, Game of Thrones fan or not.

Song of the Day: Killswitch Engage - The New Awakening

     Just a quick one for you tonight, and one that you might have already heard elsewhere. But just in case you haven't, here you go again. Don't say I never do anything for you.

Song of the Day: Killswitch Engage - In Due Time

     By now you've all more than likely already heard the first single from Killswitch Engage's forthcoming Disarm the Descent, entitled "In Due Time", either in the form of the initial radio rip that hit the interwebs or else the official version that has since supplanted it. However, just in case you've been in some sort of Rip Van Winkle super slumber from which you've just now awoken, and the first thing you do is check Loud Noises (aww, don't I feel hypothetically special now?), today's song is for you.
