Quick playlist highlights: – In Hearts Wake released another surprisingly heavy tune. Their new album is set to release on July 12 and I’m pretty excited. It’s supposed to be the “dark” version of their 2012 debut album, ‘Divination,’ which is widely regarded as their best release. – Left To Read more…
Quick playlist highlights: – John Robert C. (previous vocalist of The Last Ten Seconds of Life) is killing it in Crystal Lake. Ryo Kinoshita was a monster, but John is incredibly talented himself. This song feels closer to Crystal Lake’s identity than other recent ones – I think they’ll dial Read more…
Quick playlist highlights: – I have so many thoughts on the new Bring Me The Horizon album. Expect to see a full review next week. I decided to highlight “Limousine” because I talked about it in the “drama” section of a past newsletter. This is the song that Oli posted Read more…
Quick playlist highlights: – Get The Shot is outrageously fun. They placed #11 on my 2022 album of the year list. The vocalist has a unique sound and the samples they use in this song are great. LIGHT WEIGHT BABY!!! – I randomly came across this God Program EP from 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…
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…
Quick playlist highlights: – Born of Osiris continues to embrace a more upbeat, cheery identity. I’m pretty into it. – Knocked Loose featured Poppy on their new single. I think I missed the boat on her – I don’t really get the appeal and her screams don’t sound good live, Read more…
Quick playlist highlights: – I’ve been iffy on Left to Suffer experimenting with cleans, but this song is spectacular. – Memphis May Fire‘s new single doesn’t have very many screams, but it’s filled with energy. Matty always has strong choruses and that continues to be the case. – Threat Signal Read more…
Quick playlist highlights: – Make Them Suffer have to be getting ready to release a new album, right? This track isn’t as good as “Ghost of Me” or “Doomswitch,” but I think they’re still trying to find the best way to utilize Alex’s singing. Anything is better than what Booka Read more…
Quick playlist highlights: – Knocked Loose is really setting the tone with their singles. New album out May 10. We’ll see if they have what it takes to dethrone Boundaries. – I could have picked any Boundaries song – they’re all so good. But I want to highlight one of Read more…
