Song rips. Cory's vocals sound great.

 

Song has me excited, album art is sweet, vinyl variants look terrific. Still so far away though.

 

good lord these guys remain so heavy every release
always excited

 

very good

 

Love how the song ends. With 13 tracks I wonder if they'll have any interludes

 

These guys have been on fire these last two records. I'm willing to bet the streak continues here.

 

always ready for new Norma Jean.
now if they would just come back to Minnesota.

 

YYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY

 

This is great.

 

.. damn.. why do they still get me pumped? haha. I THOUGHT I GREW OUT OF THIS MUSIC... nahhh, I was only kidding myself.

 

Honestly haven't listened or followed much of this genre since high school, but that was rad.

 

I don't listen to this genre much anymore but NJ is just so consistent and solid. I can't deny myself these brutal jams

 

Always been in the minority on Wrongdoers, did not really care for that one much. This song is cool though, always willing to give some new NJ a shot.

 

Really dig the new song. They, along with ETID, always surprise me with how they can continue to write heavy, riff-driven tunes that still sound fresh.

 

Wrongdoers has become one of my favorite albums. I have listened to it a ton. I can't wait for this.

 

This is very good.

 

I keep expecting them to not be so fucking good and I'm always wrong. This is toughhhhhhhh. I need to go back to Wrongdoers.

 

16 year old me never thought i'd listen to NPR, 30 year old me never thought i'd listen to Norma Jean on NPR

 

1,000,000 Watts is absolutely fantastic

 

NJ is like the only hardcore band I can still listen to. Like this new tune.

 

You should! That record is pretty damn good. I would say Meridonal is slightly better as a fully realized record but songs like "Funeral Singer", "Triffids", and "Hive Minds" are just so damn good that it's a close call for me.

 

Totally not let down by that single, it sounds heavy and great, I guess I'll need to get more excited for the album in the end.

 

Single sounds good, I'm so hyped for this album! I don't know if they can top Wrongdoers, but I'll sure as hell be listening regardless.

 

Norma Jean has surprisingly been the band in heavy music I've never really checked despite loving bands like ETID and The Chariot. This song rips. I'll be checking out the rest of the discography ASAP.
