STAFF PICKS
The Cartographer – Blood (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Welcome back to The Cartographer, keepers of a slept-on discography that merges tech and deathcore. They’ve announced a new record with “Blood” leading its charge, incorporating bleeding edge nu-core guitarwork and vocals that leave nothing behind. With a multi-faceted chorus that begs you to get your groove on, some guttural bass drops and maniacal laughs, it goes hard as hell without a single concession on character.
The Hate Campaign – SOUL TARIFF (Single)
Label – TheHateCampaign2k26
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Shane recommends: There will never be enough bass-heavy belligerence with a side of shower drain lows and pig squeals; here’s hoping The Hate Campaign will be around to deliver more of what they just unleashed with “SOUL TARIFF”. Slamming deathcore of this caliber was made for degenerates (complimentary) and brutally violates your very sense of hearing to the point of triggering a masochism-laced hunger for more.
Invasion – Afterdeath (Single)
Label – 1782 Promotions
(Spotify)
Shane recommends: If the UKHC scene wasn’t familiar with Invasion before, “Afterdeath” will serve as a mercilessly unforgiving showcase to tip the scales. Through sonic coercion, many will become accustomed to this homicidal brand of death metal-adjacent beatdown hardcore. “Afterdeath” is nearly five minutes of bare-knuckle cranial compacting, leaving only its outro to bask in a vast, self-induced massacre.
Ómoia – The Quiet Place (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: The first single from Ómoia in hot second takes us back to their sprightly post-hardcore and alternative sound. It brings a strong step up in production that compliments their airy sound, plenty of detail across noodly guitars and layered vocals, and a gnarly breakdown. This track continues to prove that Ómoia are burning with potential, waiting to be discovered by UK audiences and beyond.
