Chat Pile have teamed up with legendary Seattle label Sub Pop Records for a new standalone 7″ single, leaning directly into the imprint’s grunge-era legacy. The release pairs an original Chat Pile track, “Masks,” with a surprise B-side cover of Nirvana’s deep cut “Sifting.” “Masks” appears as the A-side and continues the Oklahoma City noise rock outfit’s ongoing fascination with mask imagery and themes, while the flip-side nods back to Sub Pop’s early years. Nirvana’s “Sifting,” originally released on the band’s 1989 debut Bleach, was selected specifically for its abrasive, unsettling qualities—territory Chat Pile feel closely aligns with their own…

Behemoth vocalist/guitarist Adam “Nergal” Darski has never shied away from provocation, so the announcement of the Polish blackened death metal institution’s thirteenth studio album, ‘The Sh*t Ov God’, landed exactly as intended — polarizing, confrontational, and instantly debated. In a recent interview with Heavy, Nergal pushed back against criticism of the album’s name, arguing that the title isn’t a throwaway attempt at shock value, but a concept tied directly to the themes and philosophy running through the record. “Some people get it, some people don’t,” Nergal explained. “When I gave our latest record that title, people said, ‘You can do…
