OUTBURN ONLINE

Halloween playlists—we know them, we love them, and we all want to put our own personal spins on the classics. I mean, how often do we really need to hear “Thriller” or “Ghostbusters” this holiday season? There has to be room for something a little different, so this year Outburn is submitting our picks for a heavy metal Halloween playlist of tunes.

Buffalo NY hard rockers Hearts & Hand Grenades will release their debut full-length album entitled Turning To Ashes on January 8, 2021 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Justin Rose (Goo Goo Dolls, James Taylor, Spyro Gyra) at GCR Audio, and the album art was designed by Jeff Balance at 119 Design.

Relapse Records presents 2R0I2P0, the brand new collaborative album from BORIS and MERZBOW. The 10 track album showcases every bit of the excitement and pulse-pounding rock and metal heard throughout the inimitable, expansive BORIS catalog, as it meets the signature harsh noise and soundscapes of the equally prolific MERZBOW.

The time to rage has ended… sort of! UK quintet EMPLOYED TO SERVE have released the video for their absolutely vicious new single “Party’s Over.” Employed to Serve know no way to go other than hard. Therefore, the message of “Party’s Over” is equally as hard-hitting.

The Inferno Doll, the solo project of vocalist Laura Vargas, has just released her new single “Sacrifice” on Bandcamp and Spotify. The song is from her upcoming EP of the same name.
