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…
The Afterimage just released their debut album ‘Eve’ and it’s all I’ve been listening to the last couple days. If you’re a fan of bands like Erra, Invent Animate, or A Skylit Drive you’ll find plenty to love here. I’ve been into these guys since ‘Formless’ and am enjoying how Read more…
Parkway Drive released their sixth album ‘Reverence’ yesterday and this is probably the last one I’ll ever review from them. They’ve turned into a Five Finger Death Punch, stadium rock wanna-be band and it’s not just me saying that, the band literally said they “outgrew” metalcore. So with that, I Read more…
For The Fallen Dreams released their sixth album titled ‘Six’ this year. It’s their first album since 2014 and is the second one since their original vocalist Chad Ruhlig returned to the line up. FTFD has been around for a long time and consistently puts out solid music but they’ve never received Read more…
Underoath just released their eighth album ‘Erase Me’. It’s their first release since 2010 and I have mixed feelings about it. I normally assume everyone knows who Underoath is because they were one of the biggest bands in the early metalcore days, but then they went on hiatus and almost ten years Read more…
Traitors released their third EP ‘Anger Issues’ in February after taking one of the shortest hiatuses ever. They had been pumping out material like crazy (2 albums and 3 EPs since 2014) and hit their limit in 2017 when they disbanded, citing the fact that they were burnt out and needed Read more…
Cane Hill just released their debut album ‘Smile’ and it’s a great example of nu metal. I’m glad bands like these guys and My Ticket Home are helping keep it alive at a time when it’s so popular to just be a metalcore band. If you’re looking for heavy breakdowns Read more…
Alex Koehler, the vocalist of Chelsea Grin, has left the band to focus on his health (although he has a new side project called Grudges). His replacement is the vocalist of Lorna Shore, Tom Barber, who you can hear in Chelsea Grin’s new single “Dead Rose”. Below is my ORIGINAL Read more…
