So we may not be getting a Slayer reunion anytime soon, but hey — Kerry King’s finally back in the spotlight so that’s just as good and not a Kirkland brand knock off… right?!

Sure, Nadja have collaborated with roughly seventeen million bands throughout the course of their fascinatingly diverse and already respectably long career, and even the idea of pairing up with a more concrete, brutal band isn’t entirely new (the split with Disrotted comes to mind, for instance), but still, this one had us all worked up

Norwegian noise rock duo Barren Womb toe a fine line between tuneful and terse on their brand new single, “Squat Walker,” that we’re premiering here today.
