Valient Thorr—kind of an understated, Viking-themed version of GWAR, complete with colorful stage names and a mythical backstory—plays a wink-nudge strain of cock-rock indebted to Kiss and Ted Nugent. Not surprisingly, the group, out behind the new Immortalizer, draws a pretty devoted fan base, calling themselves “thorriors.”

Brooklyn trio Early Man has further blackened its primitive sludge since 2005 debut Closing In (Matador), while Athens, Ohio, veterans Skeletonwitch and Louisville, Ky.’s Dead Child slash and burn, respectively. H-Town’s Golden Axe opens. – Austin Powell
