#fletchsfridayreleases — Public Fediverse posts

It has been some time and I haven't really felt metal lately. But the new Anthrax single just changed that. So, it's time to pick up an old tradition.

Here's a brand new #ThrashMetal album from @HailsandAles' #FletchsFridayReleases
It's "Daze of the Weak" by UK thrashers Acid Reign 👇 *

🎵 The Who of you by Acid Reign

*I chose this album over the other ones because this cover looked the most Anthrax.

Hey everyone, before this week’s edition of #FletchsFridayReleases I want to shout out a new release from a cool fedi artist. @harriolkn and their band Husk and Rind release their debut EP today and it’s a great blend of stoner and grunge. Check it out and show them some love if you dig it.

Sorry guys I am taking one more week off from #FletchsFridayReleases because I am still in the trenches baby wise and forgot it was Friday. Normal service will resume next week. Go listen to Hellripper.

@HailsandAles No worries, buddy. I'd say you have your hands full at the moment. #FletchsFridayReleases is a luxury, not a given... ;>)

Sorry guys, no #FletchsFridayReleases this week because I simply didn’t have the time so you’ll have to fend for yourselves this time. Let me know what you think of the new Gaerea though… #Metal

It is the year of #ThrashMetal and because of that I will (try) to listen to new thrash releases as picked from @HailsandAles #FletchsFridayReleases

This week: Wreck-Defy from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 with their 6th studio album in only 9 years. Busy moose 🫎

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #WreckDefy #NewReleases

I haven’t included Pizza Death which is meant to be out but couldn’t verify it via Bandcamp etc yet #FletchsFridayReleases #HeavyMetal #Metal #DeathMetal #BlackMetal #DoomMetal #ThrashMetal #Prog

Hello everyone it’s a Bandcamp Friday edition on #FletchsFridayReleases so let’s find something cool. #HeavyMetal #Metal #DeathMetal #BlackMetal #DoomMetal #ThrashMetal #Prog

https://hailsandales.com/weekly-release-roundup-62/

In the year of #ThrashMetal I shall listen to new thrash releases each week as chosen from #FletchsFridayReleases (by @HailsandAles)

This week:

Announce the Apocalypse with their 4th studio album "Void"

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #NewReleases

End of the month but the riffs never end. It’s time for #FletchsFridayReleases.

I love that #FletchsFridayReleases gets people here talking about, sharing and hopefully buying new music. I love the fedi.

It is the year of thrash metal so let us see what #FletchsFridayReleases has to offer.

Prog/Thrash or Thrash/Metalcore?

Let's go with the first one, Stam1na from Finland 🇫🇮 have released Apnea and 3 songs in it sounds like if Katatonia had an affair with Static X, at least on this song 👇

🎵 Golem by Stam1na
💿 Apnea
▶️ https://song.link/y/X2FXzgB6wiE

This could be something for @thomas and @Dad_Wood

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #NewReleases #Stam1na

And so another release week has dawned and there is much to discover. #FletchsFridayReleases

https://hailsandales.club/weekly-release-roundup-60/

#Metal #HeavyMetal #DeathMetal #BlackMetal #DoomMetal #ThrashMetal #Prog

In the year of #ThrashMetal I shall listen to new thrash metal albums from #FletchsFridayReleases (by @HailsandAles ).

This week Borrower from Italy 🇮🇹 who released their debut album 33 years into their career. They only released demos, one EP and some singles so far.

🎵 Killerdemons by Borrower
💿 Killerdemons, 2026
▶️ https://song.link/y/pKLlYkqFTNY

Also: looks like I will be the first listener on YT music for least for some songs...

Friday the 13th is upon us and hopefully we can find some appropriate metal to go with it. I’m sure there’s treasure somewhere, let’s get digging.

#FletchsFridayReleases #Metal #DeathMetal #BlackMetal #HeavyMetal #DoomMetal #ThrashMetal

https://hailsandales.club/weekly-release-roundup-59/

I will get round to tomorrow’s new release list at some point but I’m running on spicy ramen and 3 hours sleep. #FletchsFridayReleases

It’s not even a question that name of the week goes to Heir Corpse One #Fediverse #FletchsFridayReleases #Metal #HeavyMetal #DeathMetal #BlackMetal #DoomMetal #ThrashMetal #Prog

Hello #Fediverse it’s time for #FletchsFridayReleases and there’s new #Metal to put in your ears. Also it’s Bandcamp Friday so if you find something you love and you can support, please do! #HeavyMetal #DeathMetal #BlackMetal #DoomMetal #ThrashMetal #Prog

https://hailsandales.club/weekly-release-roundup-58/

Getting to some of these #fletchsfridayreleases finally. So far digging this Shine album Wrathcult a lot. It’s fast and pummeling death metal just hows I likes it.

Following up with #FletchsFridayReleases I wanted to listen to HarXson but if you stylize your band name like that you instantly lose me so I am listening to Teutonic Slaughter from Germany 🇩🇪 instead.

That's some old skool #ThrashMetal right there. Also the album cover is epic.

🎵 Hostage by Teutonic Slaughter
💿 Cheap Food, 2026
▶️ https://song.link/y/xQejWx05JbM

I know @jake4480 is not a thrash guy, but maybe this is something for you?

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #TeutonicSlaughter

2026 is the year of #ThrashMetal 🤘

Next to thrash metal themed metal journeys I will try to listen to as many thrash albums from #FletchsFridayReleases this year, hoping to find the new Vektor.

2026 is also the year where I again curate a list of all new releases I listened to this year. You can view the list (which is very much work in progress) here:

https://drive.proton.me/urls/P1XN68CAWC#cTRFxyHINAN5

#TomsAOTY2026

Picked this one first from #FletchsFridayReleases. It's pretty old school (except for "Dying in the City (of the Living Dead)"), with high energy, shredding guitars, and drums that make you want to mosh.

Ghoulhouse – Realm of Ghouls
https://album.link/d/848331012

#Music #Metal #DeathMetal #DeathGrind
#t4sMusic

As per tradition I pick a #HeavyMetal album from @HailsandAles' #FletchsFridayReleases and give it a spin.

This week: Echos of Ancient Tales by Dolmen Gate from Portugal 🇵🇹

🎵 Souls to Sea
💿 Echoes of Ancient Tales, 2025
▶️ https://song.link/y/g3DMxYAw6NM

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #DolmenGate #NewReleases

As per tradition I pick a #HeavyMetal album from @HailsandAles' #FletchsFridayReleases and give it a spin.

Unfortunately I had to stop both albums after only a few minutes because I didn't feel them.

So instead, here's something totally awesome from last week:

🎵 Beelzebug II by Battlesnake
💿 Dawn Of The Exultants And The Hunt For The Shepherd, 2025
▶️ https://song.link/at/i/1803082399

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #Battlesnake

I was halfway through the new #Pulp album when @HailsandAles tooted #FletchsFridayReleases so I immediatelly stopped what I was doing and put on some #HeavyMetal (as per tradition).

This week, it's Battlesnake from Australia 🇦🇺

🎵 The Fathers Of Iron Flesh by #Battlesnake
💿 Dawn of the Exultants and the Hunt for the Shepherd, 2025
▶️ https://song.link/y/imRczqIto3E

Oh this one starts very promising!

Also: how good is that album cover?

Since there is no #HeavyMetal album on #FletchsFridayReleases list, I shall listen to my favourite heavy metal album from 2025 👇

🎵 Searching for Paradise by Küenring
💿 In Search of Paradise, 2025
▶️ https://song.link/y/aFJKTlahNxw

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #Küenring

As per tradition I pick a #HeavyMetal album from #FletchsFridayReleases by @HailsandAles and give it a spin.

This week a band I guess everyone knows. And yet the only song I ever listened to is the one everyone knows.

I might as well change that today, here's Lordi 🇫🇮

🎵 Legends Are Made Of Clichés by Lordi
💿 Limited Deadition, 2025
▶️ https://song.link/y/AwLlStuo1Ww

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #Lordi #LimitedDeadition

As per tradition I listen to a #HeavyMetal album from @HailsandAles' #FletchsFridayReleases

This week something from Denmark 🇩🇰

It's the debut album of Scimitar called Scimitarium I.

Metalarchives listed them under Heavy Metal/Punk. I am not sure about the punk part, it sounds more like epic heavy metal, but what do I know... 🤷‍♂️

▶️ https://album.link/y/OLAK5uy_nCmVMEWb0YNpqKbZnU6rTbURXn5z4ATbE

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #Scimitar #HeavyMetal

As per tradition I pick a #HeavyMetal album from @HailsandAles' #FletchsFridayReleases

This week, the debut album of Morax from Norway 🇳🇴

Now I am a sucker for intros, so the fact that they put an epic intro just before the first song which again opens with an epic intro is something I am enjoying on this sunny Friday.

🎵 Belial Rising by #Morax
💿 The Amulet, 2025
▶️ https://song.link/y/RHV1HBYOLb4

As per tradition I pick a #HeavyMetal album from #FletchsFridayReleases (by @HailsandAles) and give it a spin.

This week it's a new release by Löanshark from Spain 🇪🇸

Wait... Löanshark? As in loan shark?

🎵 Electric Shockin' Waves by Löanshark
💿 No Sins To Confess, 2025
▶️ https://song.link/y/IIJGh4_mv9Y

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #Löanshark

✨ #TomsAOTY2024 TIME! ✨

8️⃣ Magnetar - There Will Be no Peace in My Valley

Blackened heavy metal? Yes please!
This album is a riff heavy monster full of atmosphere and melodies.

#FFO Hellripper, Blackbraid, Immortal

This is the first of 5 albums in my top 10 from bands I never heard of before. I found all of them on #FletchsFridayReleases btw so a huge shout out to my man @HailsandAles 🤘

5/n

After listening to a Dire Straits album made by Jethro Tull, it is time for some new releases.

Looking at #FletchsFridayReleases I see some heavy/speed albums.

I'm gonna go with Vanik's "IV" because the dude on the cover looks chill.

🎵 Chamber of Horrors by #Vanik
💿 IV, 2024
▶️ https://song.link/y/3mRxQMrJYdU

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #HeavyMetal #SpeedMetal

As per tradition I pick a #HeavyMetal album from @HailsandAles' #FletchsFridayReleases and give it a spin.

This week I have to decide between heavy doom and heavy speed.

Since it is #Doomtober I'm gonna go with Grand Magus from Stockholm 🇸🇪

🎵 Skybound by #GrandMagus
💿 Sunraven, 2024
▶️ https://song.link/y/XOBSHNR2gzE

#TomsMusic #NowPlaying #DoomMetal

I believe in the healing power of #HeavyMetal so fuck you headache, I will follow my tradition to pick a heavy metal album of @HailsandAles' #FletchsFridayReleases and give it a spin.

Unfortunately "Robot Monster Army" isn't available on YT Music so I'm choosing something from Schwaben, Germany 🇩🇪 :

🎵 Back With A Bang by #KissinDynamite
💿 Back With A Bang (2024)
▶️ https://song.link/y/jxjlIKtyaoA
🛒 https://kissindynamite.bandcamp.com/album/back-with-a-bang

#TomsMusic

Until some weeks ago when I saw them on #FletchsFridayReleases I didn't know #ClovenHoof

I listened to their new record and was hooked.

I thought they're some new band part of the new wave of traditional heavy metal.

Yesterday I checked their wiki page and my mind was blown.

Formed in the late 70s and are actually part of the NWOBHM 🤯

I guess it speaks for their new album, it sounds so fresh!

🎵 The Summoning
💿 Heathen Cross (2024)
▶️ https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=OwuLqUw-iY4

#TomsMusic #HeavyMetal

As per tradition I pick a #HeavyMetal labeled album from @HailsandAles #FletchsFridayReleases and give it a spin.

This week, something from Portsmouth, Hampshire, England:

🎵 Mask Of Lies by #Dendera (🇬🇧)
💿 Mask Of Lies (2024)
🔗 https://song.link/at/i/1740478245

That's some massive groovy and in parts thrashy sound (did anyone say Machine Head?) 🤘

#FFO: Machine Head, Lokust
