Our Metal Playlist Raises A Fist To Lair Of The Minotaur
The Best Metal From August, And Beyond
Every month, our Deaf Forever column rounds up the best releases in metal, ranging from Swedish post-black and d-beat to Tunisian metalcore and post-power metal. Deaf Forever is also now a playlist: a collection of the month’s best metal, plus whatever our metal columnist, Andy O’Connor, feels like putting in here. It’s the most punishing, unrelenting Spotify playlist you’ll listen to every month. Turn up the volume and raise your second and fifth digits, this is Deaf Forever.
The playlist this month is a mini Lair of the Minotaur primer, as well as all the best tracks from this month. If you’re gonna abandon your kid to go see Godflesh, listen to this on the way.
Andy O’Connor heads SPIN’s monthly metal column, Blast Rites, and also has bylines in Pitchfork, Vice, Decibel, Texas Monthly and Bandcamp Daily, among others. He lives in Austin, Texas.
