Writing about metal, hardcore/punk, alternative/emo/indie, and more since 2000.

In the mood for some gut-churning death metal about the rampant destruction of humanity? Sounds good to me! https://t.co/x4Cx0VfRG9

Good mix this month, with no two bands falling into the same style. From melodic hardcore to technical "emo" with some edge metal, post-hardcore, crushing sludge, and unique crust in between: https://t.co/qh3DDgY5He

Despite my love for New Jersey hardcore of the '90s, I had never been exposed to Unanswered—later known as Hope (Delusion)—before. Underrated mid-to-late-'90s metalcore for fans of Rorschach, Converge, etc. https://t.co/Yu0GhaVZnd

Trying to catch up after weeks of unmotivated burnout. Been sitting on some of these for months. Varieties of crushing metallic hardcore, then some catchy or angular emo/indie, plus some dark post-metal-ish weirdness: https://t.co/AvfnvJ8G5g

Philly doom metal-infused rockers New Dawn Fades return with an excellent full-length LP—required listening for any fan of this particular corner of the genre: https://t.co/KakhX06QF3

Guitar/drums duo whitepicketfence crosses genres with their "fuck you to the American Dream." Stylistically you'll pick up on emo/indie, borderline sludgy noise rock, post-rock, and associated realms in between and beyond: https://t.co/hvRf1owS8E

[Aversionline @aversionline]

Today, perhaps explore some great Swedish noise rock with undercurrents of sludgy warmth and mathy quirks: https://t.co/2hxlwVGEWg

The latest EP from Unreal City presents more dark metallic hardcore mandatory for fans of the classic "holy terror" sound of mid-to-late-'90s Cleveland: https://t.co/FH2fILBr4j

[Aversionline @aversionline]

An interestingly blended form of U.K. metalcore purported to be "FFO: Arkangel, Turmoil." I do not disagree: https://t.co/6TVRHh1fya

[Aversionline @aversionline]

This week it's some well-produced thrash peppered with death metal and metallic hardcore influences, by way of Philly outfit No Gods: https://t.co/0RzLaDWmsB

[Aversionline @aversionline]

Semi-chaotic late-'90s/early-2000s metalcore meets screamo, from NJ's Stress Spells. One of the best releases I've heard so far this year: https://t.co/LaZeWRTgox

[Aversionline @aversionline]

Little dash of Achers today. Angular emo/indie in a D.C. meets San Diego via London kinda style. Very good: https://t.co/7vPr2egIGb

[Aversionline @aversionline]

Missed January, but loads of interesting music already piling up this year, so here's an early roundup for the month. Death/thrash, impactful screamo, hardcore/punk (and adjacent)... Enjoy, I hope: https://t.co/H4MkSn9bk1

A quick chat and ripping tunes regarding the 30th anniversary of Dutch grind unit My Minds Mine! https://t.co/PGmrXVfHIq

[Aversionline @aversionline]

Gracious thanks to Handstand Records for sending over the latest LP from Kissed by an Animal. Energetic alt-rock with a power pop sensibility: https://t.co/o0jdaVCVBb

[Aversionline @aversionline]

A handful of words about the dark, angular hybrid of noise rock/post-hardcore from Feel Worse on the site today: https://t.co/CuT336Jfc7

[Aversionline @aversionline]

Last day of the year = time for the list. All kinds of stuff. Many different styles. There. I did it. It's done. Moving on... https://t.co/k0rrunh73g

[Aversionline @aversionline]

"The Final Rewind," rounding out the initial pre-hiatus run of the site. With future "stars" like Animals as Leaders & Turnstile, painfully underrated gems such as Karma Never Forgives & Lash Out, longstanding classics like Exhumed & Integrity, and more: https://t.co/xYDKOXdA8Q

[Aversionline @aversionline]

Friendly reminder that Umeå, Sweden indie greats Statues dropped album #4 back in late-October: https://t.co/R9FyMbQt6e

[Aversionline @aversionline]

A quick nod to the new album from longstanding Boston rockers Black Helicopter on the site today: https://t.co/tqsgRQWW4P
