New Music Friday – December 17th, 2021

Welcome to this week’s wrap-up of all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff.

Mire – A New Found Rain
Label – N/A
Genre – Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dallis recommends: Combining heavy hitting grooves and technical riffage, Mire make an absolutely insane debut that should be a treat for any metalcore listener. Definitely a band to keep an eye on!

The Amity Affliction – Somewhere Beyond the Blue (EP)
Label – Pure Noise Records
Genre – Metalcore, Post-Hardcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Max recommends: Aussie mainstays The Amity Affliction craft a short but sweet burst of their absolute strongest material since 2012’s seminal Chasing Ghosts. Three fun, heavy bangers – with the surprise appearance of some brutal harsh vocals from long-time clean vocalist Ahren Stringer on “Death Is All Around” make for a fun foray into the world of melancholy, ocean-themed metalcore.

Memphis May Fire – Left For Dead (Single)
Label – Rise Records
Genre – Metalcore, Post-Hardcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dean recommends: Memphis May Fire have returned with another new single titled “Left for Dead”. Like a few of the previous singles they’ve released, this new track showcases that heavy verse/massive chorus style that they’re known for executing well.
