New Music Friday: December 2nd, 2022

Welcome to New Music Friday, with our round-up all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff. Check out our release calendar to keep an eye on this year’s upcoming releases!

STAFF PICKS

TK from Ling Tosite Sigure FIRST DEATH (Chainsaw Man ED) (Single)
Label Sony Music
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Harry recommends: TK‘s latest offering, produced especially for Chainsaw Man, is every bit as nuanced and chaotic as its source material. “First Death” blends intricate and disorientating guitarwork with a chromatic soundscape and the vocalist’s trademark manic vocals.

HEAVENSGATE SHEMOVESLIKETHUNDER (Single)
Label Greyscale Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Max recommends: HEAVENSGATE continue to impress with a stellar second single. Channelling energy reminiscent of scene leaders such as Loathe and Void of Vision, “SHEMOVESLIKETHUNDER” further demonstrates HEAVENSGATE‘s quick-accruing pedigree as one of nu-metalcore’s most exciting new acts.

Tariot Grave Future (Single)
Label Out Of Line Music
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Jonathan recommends: Tariot returns with an explosive new single, “Grave Future”. Fast-paced and hard-hitting, it provides an interesting contrast with its gentle intro, courtesy of Fairuz Ramlan of Tides. The Out Of Line newcomers are not one to miss.

Whenyoung Unchained (Single)
Label AntiFragile Music
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Harry recommends: Indie rock duo Whenyoung present a captivating track in “Unchained“, backed by potent percussion, smooth ambient layers, and a versatile, enchanting vocal performance from Aoife.
