Welcome to our weekly new music roundup, a new feature we'll be doing here on GuitarWorld.com where we collect several new tracks that have debuted over the course of the past week -- whether we got around to posting about them or not -- all in one place so you can catch up over the weekend.
This week, the big news was, of course, a new track from Van Halen, "Tattoo," the first single off the band's long-awaited new album, A Different Kind of Truth. We also got a "new" Doors song, two new tracks from Animosity-era Corrosion of Conformity and a Neoliberal anthem from Anti-Flag.

The Doors, "She Smells So Nice"
Corrosion of Conformity, "The Doom" and "Time of Trials"
