'Suicide Black Snake' (download)

As previously reported, Cleveland-bred hardcore lifers Integrity recently slid their new Suicide Black Snake LP into stores via A389 Recordings/Magic Bullet. If, by chance, you held off on the purchase, the band are now helping you out by offering it up on a pay-what-you-want basis for the next week.

To celebrate their European tour, which kicks off on Friday (July 26), Integrity are letting you name your own price for the 10-song set over on Bandcamp. The promotion runs until July 31.

Exclaim!'s review of the LP noted that "Integrity's mixture of hardcore and metal is dark, but on Suicide Black Snake that sound comes with a slight bluesy tinge." You can hear the disparate approaches by comparing steamrolling, metal solo-spiked tracks like "Beasts as God" to sinisterly whispery tracks like "There Ain't No Living Life" down below.
