STAFF PICKS
Graphic Nature – Into The Dark (EP)
Label – Rude Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: This is fucking mad hard, listen to Graphic Nature or you’re proper missing out.
Silent Planet – :Signal: (Single)
Label – Solid State Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: Silent Planet return with one of the girthiest tunes the band have ever released in “:Signal:“. Mixed by Buster Odeholm of Vildhjarta/Humanity’s Last Breath fame, this is sure to turn some heads and cause some stank-faces across the wider metal community.
Dispassion Turn – Still Here (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: A new single from a fledgling project carefully mixing shoegaze, post rock, and emo. “Still Here“‘s enchanting, gentle start develops into a soaring bridge and charged vocal outro. Check this out if you dug the newer Deafheaven material or just want some upbeat, introspective rock.
