Riversleem – A Second Release By Riversleem
In just two short EPs, Riversleem has joined the ranks of some of my favorite currently active bands with a short but unrelentingly intense genre-spanning style of hardcore.
Mouthful of Locusts – Human Dissonance EP
Basically take parts of those two bands, a little hardcore, a little jazz, the dissonant sensibilities of Diskord or Replicant and you might be in the right wheelhouse.
Sleep Waker – Alias
…as in a dream world, the album is a deep mix of different concepts both musically and conceptually that would seem confusing outside of dreamworld. Yet here, they make perfect sense.
Depths of Hatred – Inheritance
For fans of the metalcore genre, try this out. It may be your next thing.
A Scent Like Wolves – Mystic Auras
Compared to all the cliché bitching, moaning, and depression of the metalcore and emo of the 2000s and 2010s, this mature approach is a breath of fresh air.
Abiotic – Ikigai
Igikai is the product of a group of insanely talented musicians that craved nothing more than to craft their vision into art with palpability, with longevity, and with true passion.
xIronSharpensIronx – Dehumanized Video Premiere
Video premiere for Dehumanized from The Tragedy of Mankind by xIronSharpensIronx
Bleed From Within – Fracture
Bleed From Within are in top form on this album. Years of experience are clearly paying off on this record.
Heaven Shall Burn – Of Truth and Sacrifice
The album is heavy! Sometimes that’s in a musical sense, sometimes in an emotional sense, but mostly it’s heavy in both senses.
Enox – Sequence (single)
…all signs point to it being musically diverse and very competently written.
