100 Demons – Meat For The Beast (Single)
Label – Closed Casket Activities
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: The same day that At The Gates release an LP a long break, we get the second coming of 100 Demons; rejoice! “Meat For The Beast” shows the East Coast band wielding a timeless, nostalgic and hefty sound. With surging interest in the scene, they’ve picked a great time to return, and this is a confident step forward into another era.
Chrome Cage – Death Calling (Single)
Label – B.I.G Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: A beefy hardcore unit calling from Whyalla, Australia, Chrome Cage come to us with the knell of “Death Calling”. Bursts of breakbeats and modern production give the track a shiny veneer, but all the rest is rudimentary beatdown – lovely stuff. Do not adjust playback when the false ending hits, no doubts designed to perplex moshers into yet more twisted shapes.
ChrryObsessed – To You, Whom I Love The Most (Single)
Label – Paper Wings Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Jack recommends: Chrryobsessed are a band who deserve to be on everybody’s radar right now. Blending revival metalcore and modern post-hardcore, “To You, Whom I Love The Most” is their most infectious track to date. Nasty breakdowns, whined cleans, ambient breaks, it has it all, tied up in a neat little package. Chrryobessed have already demonstrated they have the capabilities to be the next big thing, and if “To You, Whom I Love The Most” is anything to go by, they’ll be there in no time.
MouthBreather – Repeat After Me (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Taking the sharpest edges of metalcore and turning them into something absolutely feral, MouthBreather have cooked up a track that will make you want to spin kick the nearest person. The vocals are utterly pissed off, with riffs that will saw any ear off. MouthBreather look to leave nobody alive with their latest effort.
