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
Quick playlist highlights: – I haven’t listened to a lot of Orthodox, but I like them in small doses. The brooding vocals are pretty badass – very similar to King 810. – Foreign Hands is basically early 2000’s metalcore. If you like that style, you’ll love these guys. If you Read more
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
Quick playlist highlights: – Vended is basically the new-era Slipknot – which makes sense because their vocalist is Corey Taylor’s kid and their drummer is Clown’s kid. I can’t help but hear Slipknot when I listen to Vended, but I don’t mind because Slipknot has been terrible for the last Read more
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
