I’ve noticed that a lot of my favorite albums this year can be described with one word: fun. I’ve been trying to understand why, and I think it’s driven by a desire to return to the type of metalcore I grew up with. Back in the early 2010’s, metalcore used to Read more…

Quick playlist highlights: – Make Them Suffer is killing it with these singles. Their new album comes out on November 8, and it’s starting to look like it’ll be their best since ‘Old Souls.’ Alex Reade’s singing is so much better than Booka’s it’s actually insane. – I’m not a Read more…

I want to take a moment to revisit Enterprise Earth’s album from earlier this year. At the time, many hailed it as an album of the year contender. My personal tastes have led me in slightly different directions, but it is certainly worthy of a top 20 spot. If nothing Read more…

Quick playlist highlights: – Starting the playlist off on a heavier note for once, Gaerea continues to impress. Their last two singles have been slightly more accessible than their 2022 album (which came in at #14 on my end of the year list). I’ve been less interested in extreme metal Read more…
