One of the most consistent and tenured bands in metalcore, Norma Jean are back with their first album in 3 years, ‘Deathrattle Sing For Me’…

3 years after their incredible debut album with ‘The Dark Pool’, Australian metalcore outfit Thornhill have returned for their sophomore release ‘Heroine’. The record sees the band forging their own path, going down an entirely different direction than what anyone could have predicted of them, trading out their progressive metalcore roots for ambient alternative metal heavily influenced by the likes of Deftones and The Smashing Pumpkins…

An interesting release from Killswitch Engage, metalcore royalty who at the beginning of 2020 had just commenced touring their latest album Atonement. But found themselves heading home as the pandemic struck, licking their wounds and unable to take one of their strongest records out on the road, for shows that included support from former vocalist Howard Jones’s band Light The Torch; Atonement featuring the crushing track (‘The Signal Fire’) which saw Jones trading vocals with current (and original) singer Jesse Leach, and the tour providing the perfect opportunity for both frontmen to hit the stage together…

New year, new music – the first week of a year’s releases is always an interesting time as it often sets the tone for the sound of the year. It’s strange but exciting to see this right at the beginning of the year. This is the case with metal band INFECTED RAIN with their fifth album, Ecdysis…

Carnifex is well known for its tasty blend of groove, melody, and oodles of extremity in its music. Speed has been characteristic of their music without pushing too hard on the idea of speed for the sake of it. The band’s newest offering ‘Graveside Confessions’ hits hard and keeps hitting. A well-paced record showcasing what the band is loved for – heavy music, gnarly riffs and breakdowns, crushing drums and bass, and one hell of a vocal performance very unique to the band…

Metalcore has had its share of fads over the years. From the emo singing choruses of the 2000s to the synth-infused electronicore of the 2010s, bands seem to be constantly searching for something new to fuse with the over-saturated genre. Los Angeles natives Phinehas have a different calling card: nonstop ferocious musicianship. While it's not the most unique approach to metalcore, this tactic has given the band a very consistent discography with plenty of variation kept between albums. The Fire Itself, while lacking the cohesion enjoyed by 2017's Dark Flag, leverages its sheer brutality to become one of the band's best albums to date…

The new album not only presents a methodical and premeditated next step in the band’s already imposing career, but moreover, it mirrors the personal adversities they’ve faced due to the worldwide events over the last year…
