September has been a month that has been packed with some absolute gems. Whether it be the returning Angel Number on “The Fabric Speakers”, Love Rarely‘s surpise of “Whiplash” along with “Mould” and Tribe of Ghosts dropping the magnificent “DESOLATION WILL BE THEIR ONLY REWARD“, we now dive into more single releases from the month.
street grease – Incorporeal Bodies (Venn Records)
Later this week will see the full unveiling of street grease‘s debut record, BLOODBATH1. The latest single “Incorporeal Bodies” further showcased their biting sound that blends indie rock, punk, and rave influences. The unit so far have shown their aggressive take on the sound, creating catchy beat-driven anthems. This cutting edge style should be at least as memorable as their contemporaries.

Eyes Of A Nihilist – ERASE (Mental Metal Media)
Those looking for their deathcore-come-thall kick will need to look no further than Eyes OF A Nihilist and their latest single “ERASE“. The Kings Lynn unit have been drip-feeding us their singles, accompanied by shows across England’s east coast that sees them flex their abilites. With this hopefully being part of something larger body of upcoming work, it will be no time before Eyes Of A Nihilist are carving their name into the UK’s deathcore scene.
FFO: Eschalon, Malice & Writhe
Clot – Defense Against Disorder (Independent)
Clot‘s “Defense Against Disorder” is absolutely evil and harrowing, brief and yet nasty in its nature. Grinding it’s way into the ear like a rusty handsaw with goblin vocals and gnawing guitar riffs, Clot take the harshest elements from both grindcore and hardcore into this haunting offering.
FFO: Diploid, Doubt & CANNON
Total Loss – Crosshairs (Don’t Try, Inc)
Total Loss have quickly put their next foot forward after the release of Where Do We Go When All Roads Lead to Nowhere?. This track showcases their brand of nasty hardcore that contains a rage which will see a whole room swinging from side to side. Packed with grooves and riffs that have the all the punch you can hope for from a hardcore track, Total Loss also bring in the stylings and emotiveness of metalcore revival, making for a captivating listen.
FFO: Grief Ritual, Tempers Fray & Chained
papercut – The Rest Of Us (feat. Omerta) (Independent)
Channelling nu-metalcore with all the style of the 00s, papercut have crafted a unique discography over the past few years. Omerta have also pieced together their own take on the genre, drawing on a range influences. Now after performing on line-ups together, the two have come to collaborate “The Rest Of Us“, making for some of papercut‘s best material to date.
FFO: Bodyweb, withpaperwings & concealer.
Ece Era – Inner Feeling (2MR)
Ece Era transcends the conditioning of her upbringing in Turkey to reveal her true self through music. Her latest single and video “Inner Feeling” taps into the complexities of modern love and desire, exploring the impact of social media and dating culture with raw honesty and authenticity. Through her art, Ece shares her genuine inner voice, unfiltered and true.

Weeping – Each Breath Worthless (Independent)
For those who enjoy their music amid being bashed in by baseball bats under the protective skin of a steel trash can: Weeping‘s latest single “Each Breath Worthless” is for you. A heartbeat of a double kick that could pummel algea into sentience, riffs that likely cause bleeding upon playing, and vocals that nothing short of demonic, it’s difficult not to be in awe of what Weeping have done here, in a sick sort of way.
FFO: Killing of a Sacred Deer, Algor Mortis & Graveview
OBEYER – Second Sun / Radiant (3DOT Recordings)
Northampton newcomers OBEYER arrive on the scene with a colossal djenty punch with their debut singles “Second Sun” and “Radiant“. Both are a refreshing take on djent-styled progressive metalcore, opting for blistering low-tuned riffs and a destructive mix to match, courtesy of producer Sam Bloor. With a debut this promising, 3DOT Recordings’ latest roster addition is one to watch.
FFO: Swarmed, Exist Immortal & Sylosis
Evilgloom – DARMA (Independent)
Oozing with energy comes latest single from Japanese unit Evilgloom, harnessing electronic elements with beefy guitar riffs and a range of vocal performances between screams, rapping and cleans. The resulting brutality harkens to what their contemporaries Crystal Lake have achieved, and we hope for the same success here. “DARMA” only reinforces that Evilgloom will be the next big act out of Japan.
FFO: Paledusk, Pincer+ & Starve
