The Weekly [ 06 FILED ]
Week of Aug 10 Aug 10 – Aug 16 · 2026 One hundred and sixty-seven tracks across six days and a silence, and no week has gone deeper into death metal: a run of immersions, each day burrowing into one band or one narrow scene, carrying the record from the cosmos and the mosh pit down into the genre's brutal, occult heart and back up into Opeth's melancholy. Week of Aug 03 Aug 03 – Aug 09 · 2026 Two hundred and twenty-three tracks across six days and one silence, and the week drifts steadily off the ground: it opens on the heaviest, angriest music the record has logged and ends among ancient astronauts and vintage space rock, the cosmos surfacing again and again as its quiet obsession. Week of Jul 27 Jul 27 – Aug 02 · 2026 Four hundred tracks across seven days, and nearly all of them pointed backward. Week of Jul 20 Jul 20 – Jul 26 · 2026 The record's biggest and most manic week: 273 tracks, 102 artists, swinging from a forty-seven-minute hardcore blast to two back-to-back marathons of ninety-nine before collapsing, on Sunday, into five frozen songs. Week of Jul 13 Jul 13 – Jul 19 · 2026 Seven days, 139 tracks, 60 artists, and a single direction: down. Week of Jul 06 Jul 06 – Jul 12 · 2026 The record's first full week reads as one long argument about heaviness: where it comes from, what it is for, and how many forms it can take before it runs out.
