Welcome to this week’s edition of all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff.
STAFF PICKS
Russian Circles – Betrayal (Single)
Label – Sargent House
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: This second single from Gnosis is somehow even heavier. Simpler wall-of-sound riffs lend the spotlight to Dave Turncrantz‘ incredible drumming, featuring both speedy blast-beat-beatdowns and sludge-doom passages.
BLACKGOLD – I Ain’t Goin Out Like That (ft. Jason Aalon of FEVER 333) (Cypress Hill Cover)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Blackgold make another huge statement with their collaboration with FEVER 333’s Jason Aalon. The catchy rendition of “I Aint Goin Out Like That” will be one to stick on the playlists and keep spinning over the coming months.
Holy Fawn – Dimensional Bleed (Single)
Label – Triple Crown Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: With a haunting and ever-so eerie release in “Dimensional Bleed“, Holy Fawn cultivate pure sonic reverberation tremendously. Similarly titled album Dimensional Bleed will definitely be a treat for the masses if this is but a sample of what’s to come.
