All the metalcore, post-hardcore and alternative rock releases and with picks from our staff.
Twelve Foot Ninja – Over and Out (ft. Tatiana Shmayluk) (Single)
Label – Volkanik
Genre – Progressive Metal
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: Twelve Foot Ninja land another massive hit with their groovy, chunky and melodic new single. The vocal interplay between Nik Barker and Jinjer’s Tatiana Shmayluk on this track serves as one of my favourite musical moments all year. October 15th can’t come soon enough!
Ice Nine Kills – Rainy Day (Single)
Label – Fearless Records
Genre – Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dean recommends: Ice Nine Kills are back again with yet another incredible track from their upcoming album The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood. This new track is about the Resident Evil franchise and features a massive chorus, with fun riffs, and a breakdown from the depths of Raccoon City.
Low – Hey What
Label – Sub Pop Records
Genre – Alternative, Folk, Indie
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Tim recommends: On the heels of an excellent release in 2018, Low returns with HEY WHAT, building on those same concepts but doing more with spacing, texture, and mood to create a depressing yet compelling affair.
Purple Kiss – HIDE & SEEK (EP)
Label – RBW
Genre – K-Pop, R&B
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: A refreshing breath of fresh air, Purple Kiss bring an alternative style into the K-Pop scene. With a beat sure to keep you on your feet and an addicting chorus to accompany it, this is surely a song to keep on repeat.
