STAFF PICKS
Daufødt – Toxic (Single)
Label – Fysisk Format
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Packed with attitude filled punk riffs and menacing barked vocals, juiced with reverb that makes it a forceful and potent listen. “Toxic” only makes upcoming record Glitter a more exciting prospect, that will see Daufødt reaffirm that they’re one of the top acts in the European underground scene.
Killing of a Sacred Deer – Devotion (feat. World of Pleasure) (Single)
Label – laughingcorpse
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Emerging from the depths of Canada, Killing Of A Sacred Deer delivers a powerful blend of deathcore and metallic hardcore. Featuring members from Serration, World Of Pleasure, Mortality Rate and Secret & Whisper, the band’s debut single “Devotion” showcases their heavy, unsettling sound. With guest vocals from Jess Nyx, the track erupts with earth-shattering blast beats, crushing guitars, and a mix of guttural and intense vocal styles.
Swiss Pleasure – Charcoal (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Ahead of the release of their EP, Heliotropia, Swiss Pleasure have dropped the full release of demo track “Charcoal“. A blissful indie rock track filled with jazz stylings, that sees each chord and harmony each hitting the ear with a certain delight.
Utflod – Stine (Single)
Label – Apollon Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
“Stine” sees Utflod unleash their chaotic and dark sound, that has a scorn and fury to it, that is boldened by the forceful production. Each bark of the vocal and hit of the snare hits the ear with a purpose, before the track ends on an ambient and contemplative atmosphere of strings and soundscapes.
