New Music Recommendations

The violently heavy UK based band, God Complex, have dropped their new EP He Watches In Silence. Though I would have preferred another full length album from them, this 5 track EP still delivers enough mosh anthems and leaves you wanting more. Give it a listen and wreck the person next to you. FFO: Orthodox, Mugshot, Chamber, END, Mouth For War and Jesus Piece.
