EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Veilburner – Ruin
This one feels off-kilter, like it’s always about to tip over and crush the listener.
Barrel Bones – Shake-Rattle-Roll
…the band I most think of in comparison to Barrel Bones is one of my favorites, namely The Gaslight Anthem.
TRACK PREMIERE: Chest Rockwell – The Cartesian Theater
The groove entrances you, even as instruments are added, key changes happen, and the vocals embed themselves into your brainstem.
Black Braid – I
If I were to have more children (I’m not), bits of the album would probably be embedded in their DNA.
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.
Jesus Wept – Psychedelic Degeneracy EP
Death metal with a grindy sound, but not the grind speed. Nasty riffs that I’m pretty sure could actually cut you if you listen too closely. A nice mid-paced groove that gets the ole noggin’ banging. What’s not to like?
Predatory Light – Death And The Twilight Hours
Death And The Twilight Hours was released through 20 Buck Spin on May 20th, 2022, and can be found on multiple listening platforms and in various formats. Make sure to check out the album and the label.
xIron Sharpens Ironx – The Aftermath of Tragedy EP
Passenier doesn’t just sing the lines…he sweats them, breathes them, bleeds them.
Escape From The Zoo – Countin’ Cards
Band – Escape From The Zoo Album – Countin’ Cards Country of Origin – USA Genre – Punk Release Date – February 11, 2022 Label – Fat Wreck Chords Author – Hayduke X I listen to a lot of extreme metal, hardcore, and punk...
Lokella – As We Unravel
I’m reminded of Ume sometimes, Joan Jett others, and even occasionally L7.
