Lots of work for Chuck this week outside of metal-world, so we’re just going to toss you three quick picks.
Dive deep and buy something new this weekend:
Gojira – Mea Culpa (Olympics track)

Devin Townsend – PowerNerd
From the Youtube Description:
POWERNERD – noun
1. A person of any gender who has, through tenacity and perseverance, turned what society may deem as a ‘weakness’ into a superpower.
2. A total fucking badass.
3. You.
“It was a conscious thing,” Devin says of his brand-new album, the music on which he wrote in just 11 days. “I thought, ‘I’ve spent so much time overthinking every aspect of my work – what would happen if I didn’t?’ Maybe I would have the opportunity to be a bit more direct with what it is that I’m trying to do. I really wanted to see if I could cut through some of the meanderings.” A song that embodies that, is the album’s title track (which features a guest spot from Jamey Jasta).
The new album comes out October 25th. Get it here
