FEATURED ALBUM Knocked Loose // You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed ToReleased: May 10, 2024 Knocked Loose is on top of the world. Unbelievably, as their popularity continues to reach new heights, they get heavier. They defy conventional norms, getting more extreme over time, and that willingness to double down Read more
Quick playlist highlights: – Kicking the playlist off with this insane track from Synestia and Disembodied Tyrant‘s split EP. The breakdown at the end of this song is ridiculous. – Falling In Reverse has a new single that features Alex Terrible (from Slaughter To Prevail) and TechN9ne. Everybody loves to Read more
I hadn’t heard of this band before, but they remind me a lot of early Heaven Shall Burn. This style of metalcore is almost unrecognizable compared to how the genre has evolved over the last 25 years. This will probably be a tough listen for anybody whose library doesn’t go Read more

Quick playlist highlights: – Rivers of Nihil parted ways with their longtime vocalist and now have their bassist filling the gap. Their 2018 album is still an absolute favorite of mine, but I was less impressed with their 2021 release. The bassist is doing a pretty good job, and I Read more
Wristmeetrazor has been interesting to follow for the last few years. I wouldn’t be surprised if their name turns some people away, but it truly fits the early metalcore sound that they are trying to revive. Kids these days might not realize this, but cutting and self harm was super Read more
