Boston Manor - Be Nothing. (2016)

dewey duck posted a topic in Emo,

One of the first bands to introduce me to the Pop Punk genre. Henry's vocals are some of the best I've heard in a long time. Favorite track of the album is "This Song Is Dedicated To Nobody".

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

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

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.

I had never heard of these guys before this EP. Boy am I glad I know them now. This is a heart pounding musical experience. It's heavy hitting with glorifying riffs and vocals. Give this a look if you haven't already.

Cancer Bats - The Spark That Moves (2018)

LKA posted a topic in Metalcore,

These guys are insane. Not only did they release an album with no singles or promo whatsoever despite their relentless touring, it is also fucking great and one of their best yet. The fact that they made a video for every single song is just the icing on the cake.
