First off, our April cover stars Cancer Bats unleash Dead Set on Living, the follow-up to 2010's Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones, while Battles deliver their Gloss Drop remix triumph, Dross Glop, featuring the likes of Gang Gang Dance, Gui Boratto and the Field.

Also, Chicago quartet Maps & Atlases unveil their sophomore effort Beware and Be Grateful, and following a three-year hiatus, Claro Intelecto (aka British producer Mark Stewart) returns with his masterful third full-length, Reform Blood.

Lastly, we have the debut long-player from hooky hard rock conglomerate Æges, and Hollow Earth offer up bittersweet melodic riffs with their first outing, We Are Not Humanity.
