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
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
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
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
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
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
"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
