FEATURED ALBUM Heavensgate // And All I Loved, I Loved AloneReleased: February 24, 2023 This is an excellent debut EP from a newly formed band.

Quick playlist highlights: – Kublai Khan TX has been kind of hit or miss for me in the past, but I’ve been liking their last couple of songs a lot. – I didn’t realize Downswing got a new vocalist, but their new EP is pretty fun. Kind of sounds like Read more…
This is an incredible debut album by Cogitations. Definitely a standout deathcore album of the year so far. My favorite thing about this album is that each song has its own unique identity.

One of my friends sent me a message saying that they want to get back into heavy music so I made this “Metalcore Sampler” playlist for them. The goal is to showcase a bunch of different styles, have them select their favorites, and then give even better recommendations based on Read more…
Quick playlist highlights: – Like Moths To Flames is on one of the hottest streaks I’ve ever seen. Their new album comes out on May 10 (the same day as Knocked Loose and Dealer). It’s only March and I’m already starting to worry about my top 10 at the end Read more…

It’s not particularly revolutionary, but it’s polished and will probably grab enough attention to get some traction. There’s decent variety in the screams, but the choruses were mostly forgettable. The best parts almost always happened Read more…
