Motionless In White released ‘Creatures’ in 2010 and recently I’ve found myself coming back to it more and more. I’d easily rank it up there with Memphis May Fire’s ‘The Hollow’ and Of Mice & Men’s first album. ‘Creatures’ didn’t quite catapult MIW to the heights of Memphis May Fire Read more
Sleep Waker released their debut album ‘Don’t Look at the Moon’ a couple weeks ago and it has really taken hold of me. They had already established themselves with a solid EP last year, but this album should really put them on the map. I expect new listeners to be just Read more
For All Those Sleeping broke up in 2014 but not before putting out three albums, the best of which was ‘Outspoken’. It came out in 2012 and is a great representation of metalcore from that time period. I mean, it starts with an intro song that literally only exists to use the Read more
A year and a half ago Above This put out their 7th release titled ‘Chapter 7’ and I’m gonna go ahead and say it’s probably my favorite since their debut ‘7L7’. @originalshawndon has been killing it with his vocals and continues to find great instrumental creators who help bring his vision to Read more
The Devil Wears Prada released ‘Plagues’ as their second album in 2007 and it has remained a favorite of mine after all these years. Almost every album and EP these guys release is hailed as “their best material ever” by some faction of their fan base, but I actually think I Read more
Last weekend Dance Gavin Dance released their 8th album titled ‘Artificial Selection’. They’ve been on a crazy hot streak for the last couple years and I’m surprised by how great of a follow up this is to ‘Mothership’. ‘Artificial Selection’ definitely ranks towards the top of their discography, but there’s so Read more
Angelmaker and A Night In Texas released a split EP on Halloween of 2016 called ‘Unholy Alliance’ and it was one of the strongest deathcore releases of the year. A Night In Texas does the first three songs and Angelmaker does the second three. A Night In Texas’ part is pretty Read more
Impending Doom just released their sixth album ‘The Sin and Doom; Vol. II’. It’s my favorite release from them since their 2009 album ‘The Serpent Servant’ and it’s a solid comeback considering it’s the first thing they’ve released in five years. There are a couple reasons I wanted to review this Read more
Last year Counterparts released their 5th album ‘You’re Not You Anymore’ and although it didn’t live up to ‘Tragedy Will Find Us’ it was still top 20 material. I’m splitting this review into positive and negative parts because this is a really great album and I don’t want to put too Read more
A couple weeks ago Convictions put out their third album ‘Hope For The Broken’ and it’s just as good as their last one. In some ways they remind me a lot of Currents, one of my top ten bands from last year. They have the spark…they just need the attention to really Read more
