All the new metalcore, rock and alternative releases for the week, with some staff picks from the team!
Darko US – Darko
Label: N/A
Genre: Deathcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: The Darko project has more than delivered on its debut. Weaving between punishing brutality and its masterful use of melodic passages, the Darko self-titled is sure to be one of the most memorable releases of the year.
YONAKA – Call Me A Saint (Single)
Label: Atlantic Records
Genre: Pop Rock, Alt Rock
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dan recommends: Yonaka are finally back with yet another banger. ‘Call Me A Saint’ is synth induced, with a sprinkling of pop-rock that is sure to get you bouncing.
VOLA – These Black Claws (Single)
Label: Mascot Records
Genre: Metal
(Spotify/Apple Music/Bandcamp)
Maximo recommends: One of the most engaging and fun songs of the year. VOLA have been knocking it out of the park with these singles, but the more subdued verses (as well as the stellar rap verse from guest feature SHAHMEN) book-ended by the massive wall-of-sound choruses and breakdown make for one of the most dynamic tracks this band has penned to date. Check back soon for a full review of their upcoming album, Witness!
