Killing the Dream have posted an audio player featuring music from their next album, Lucky Me. The album is due out November 23, 2010 and is the follow up to Fractures which was released in 2008.

The label commented on the record:

Recorded by Zach Ohren and Pat Hills, “Lucky Me” shows Killing The Dream in the grips of true artistic progression. With “Lucky Me”, Killing The Dream have taken their formulaic metallic hardcore approach and evolved within it. Injecting hook laden melodies deep in their core that bring new dimension and depth to an already impressive sound. “Lucky Me” shows that a band can grow within, without having to leave themselves or their audience, behind.

Dutch power trio Antillectual have posted another new song from their upcoming full-length, Start From Scratch. The song, “Some of my Best Friends are Meat Eaters,” can be heard here or by clicking Read More. The band had this to say about the song’s lyrical content:

“The song is, at least as I see it, about (meat) consumption and not pretending you’re a better person because you don’t eat meat even though it’s a respectable decision. It has always been typical for the lyrical content to have a certain message and this song has at least reached one person to take a more positive stance in life.”

Antillectual have been posting a new song from Start From Scratch on a weekly basis for several weeks now; those wishing to catch up should start here. The album is expected out in November and will follow up the group’s 2008 effort, Testimony.
