From their upcoming debut record Misery Sermon, Slaughter To Prevail have released a punishing new video for their song “Chronic Slaughter.”

7.Composer/DJ/Producer Varien releases new song, “Mutiny!”

Varien (aka Nick Kaelar), one ofAP's Top 100 Artists to Watch, has put out a new single titled “Mutiny.”

The track premiered today via Outerloop Records, and features a refreshing blend of electornic styles, including modern EDM as well as classic house and synth elements.

On the new tune, Varien had this to say: “I wanted to have the colour and feeling you would get from a great synthwave/outrun type track, but something that was dancefloor and DJ-ready. I definitely feel I accomplished this and am absolutely excited to share it with the world.This is one of my first experiments with combining new and exciting ideas like synthwave, vaporwave, witch house, etc. into an understandable format—and I hope to please both the underground that gave birth to these incredible genres and the more casual listeners who love a fresh style.”

Check out the new track below, and let us know what you think of it in the comment section!

8. And finally today, Spite have premiered a video for their new track, “Despise.”

Spite are set to release a new album later this year, but in the meantime they've graced us with a brand new single and video.

“Despise” is the piercing final product, and it sure is a beatdown.

Spite's new record is expected out on Stay Sick Records in the coming months, but for now, enjoy their newest single!
