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…
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…
