The Heavyist #273 Vildhjarta

It's a classic Heavyist blend of records on the show this week! Turnstile release the follow-up to Glow On that's undoubtedly going to launch them into the stratosphere. Rivers of Nihil's new lineup follows up The Work with something very different. UK based Outergods are NOT to be slept on and Bludgeoned By Deformity release maybe the heaviest thing we have ever listened to!Follow us on the socials!https://discord.gg/nSjP3A8bRyhttps://www.instagram.com/theheavyistpodcast/https://twitter.com/TheHeavyisthttps://www.facebook.com/TheHeavyist/https://www.tiktok.com/@theheavyistSTAY HEAVY x Join the Discord!
