New Music Friday – April 8th, 2022

This week’s selection of all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff.

STAFF PICKS

Void of Vision – INTO THE DARK (Single)
Label – UNFD
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe H recommends: The Void quartet follow up previous single “DOMINATRIX” with an another absolute banger, marking themselves on the metalcore map with their magnum opus.

Ithaca – In the Way (Single)
Label – Hassle Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe E recommends: With latest track “In The Way” they have once again shown why their upcoming record They Fear Us will be one of the best releases to come out of the UK this year. Do not sleep on them.

TesseracT – Regrowth (Singles)
Label – kscope
(Bandcamp)

Max recommends: A brief return to a heavier TesseracT with two fantastic new tracks for a good cause. With an entirely new track, and a re-done track from the One sessions, it’s a small but satisfying package of energetic proggy goodness to help tide listeners over until their upcoming fifth studio record.

IVE – LOVE DIVE
Label – STARSHIP Entertainment
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dean recommends: IVE return with their single “Love Dive” that sports an addictive groove some may say is even better than “Eleven”.

(G)I-DLE – Never Stop Me (Live Version)
Label – Cube Entertainment
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dallis recommends: After the stellar comeback of their first full length album I Never Die, (G)I-DLE have released a live version of “Never Stop Me” that is to die for and more.
