Volumes – Get Enough
Label: Fearless Records
Genre: Metalcore, Djent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Lorna Shore – …And I Return To Nothingness
Label: Century Media Records
Genre: Blackened Deathcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: The NJ deathcore kings cement their place at the top of the extreme metal food chain with a grandiose, symphonic and disgustingly heavy three-song outing. (Full review here).
