Big names kick off this week's Tribe Leaders (Top 50 tracks) playlist adds when Cannibal Corpse's new track "Inhumane Harvest", Foo Fighters' "No Son of Mine" off their 10th studio album 'Medicine at Midnight' (which drops today), Serj Tankian's "Elasticity", Every Time I Die's continued success on "AWOL", Tetrarch's "You Never Listen" AND Scarlxrd makes a wall shattering appearance with "Red Light".
"Inhumane Harvest" is the first taste of Cannibal Corpse's 15th record, the upcoming 'Violence Unimagined' which was announced this week. Serj Tankian also gives us our first taste of what's to come with "Elasticity" off the same named EP. Serj has been super busy releasing two System of a Down tracks back in November - both of which still stay high on the charts one of which - "Genocidal Humanoidz" - finally got a proper music video released this week.
Every Time I Die keeps rolling after previous releases "Desperate Pleasures" and "A Colossal Wreck" both were in the Top 50 in the past month or so.
Meanwhile Tetrarch places its second track on the playlist with earlier release, "I'm Not Right", still holding on strong.
And Scarlxrd celebrates his album release of 'Dxxxm II' today with "Red Light" making the Top 50. Additionally the recent release of "Apxcalypse" hits New Flesh and Pulse playlists this week with its eye on Tribe Leaders as well.
Still in the pole position of the playlist for another week is Bring Me the Horizon's collab with Babymetal, a double dip of Architects, a continued strong performance from Of Mice & Men, the newest from Rob Zombie and Chevelle, The Pretty Reckless featuring Tom Morello (which just had an official video released yesterday) and more.
