Time, The Valuator - How Fleeting, How Fragile (2018)

mR12 posted a topic in Metalcore, August 2

Sometimes new bands do straight up phc/metalcore better than the big bands. This is one of those cases.

Decayer - The Agony Cycle [EP] (2018)

Lord Kingdom posted a topic in Deathcore, July 12

This is fucking filthy. Just now getting around to it. Super underrated band for their genre. The song "16 Roses" is a heartfelt song about the loss of vocalist Harrison's sister, a truly moving masterpiece. Give this EP a listen. Doubt you'll be disappointed.

Frak The Gods posted a topic in Metalcore, July 20

Really solid EP from Danny Leals (Upon A Burning Body Singer) brother whom is also the singer of this band. I dig the raw vocals and the heavy riffs. Good cleans, good screams, what more could you ask for? Give it a listen.

April Towers - Certified Freaky (2018)

Blue posted a topic in Electronic, June 28

Highly recommended for lovers of Indie Rock and 80's-style Synthpop. April Towers sound similar to BAG RAIDERS, that band that did that Shooting Stars song that became a meme. This album is no meme, though.

Delusions of Grandeur - Apotheosis (EP) (2018)

Frak The Gods posted a topic in Metalcore, June 28

These guys are fantastic. If you like very technical Metalcore, this EP is for you. It's a damn shame this will be their last record. I think this is the best music they have put out. At least they are going out with an epic bang.

Viscera/// - 3 | Release Yourself Through Desperate Rituals (2017)

LKA posted a topic in Post-Metal/Screamo/Black Metal, May 16

One of the coolest Sludge/Post-Metal albums I've heard in a while. Check it out if that sounds appealing to you and disregard the 80s hard rock looking album art, it's not representative of the sound.
