New Music Monday: Autocatalytica

One of the most gleefully demented bands to emerge from the US in years, Autocatalytica are about to rip the world of heavy music a new clown-shaped butthole with their self-titled debut album and we are delighted (and slightly scared) to be able to offer a free download of one of its most twisted tracks.

Fans of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Between The Buried And Me and Converge will almost certainly fall in love with this band: check out Heavier And More Melodic right now and then, if you feel so inclined, head to autocatalytica.bandcamp.com and download the whole damn album for a measly $5 (that’s about £3.50, we think).

Let the insanity commence!

Luke Morton joined Metal Hammer as Online Editor in 2014, having previously worked as News Editor at popular (but now sadly defunct) alternative lifestyle magazine, Front. As well as helming the Metal Hammer website for the four years that followed, Luke also helped relaunch the Metal Hammer podcast in early 2018, producing, scripting and presenting the relaunched show during its early days. He also wrote regular features for the magazine, including a 2018 cover feature for his very favourite band in the world, Slipknot, discussing their turbulent 2008 album, All Hope Is Gone.
