STAFF PICKS

Grave Way – 90 Seconds Til’ Midnight (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Grave Way deliver up an absolutely feral track with “90 Seconds Til’ Midnight“, a snare that pops alongside 90s-esque death metal riffs, there is a rawness to Grave Way’s brand of metallic hardcore that yearns to be returned to.

Greyblood – Tongue In Cheek (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Packed with beefy southern guitar riffs that will please the ear of any Every Time I Die fan, Delaware unit offer up their first single of 2024 with “Tongue in Cheek“, that should be a must listen for any fans of chaotic and mathy hardcore.

sinema – At Least, Be Human (Single)
Label –
Ephyra
(Spotify)

Dobbin recommends: sinema are developing a unique sound between metalcore and emo, accessing something new that borrows just the extreme elements from both genres – aggression meets hearthrob. The fizzy live recording adds further to the charm of the track.

Whatsdysmorphia – squirm (feat. Sanguisugabogg)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify)

Dobbin recommends: Whatsdysmorphia explore new limits of cybernetic destruction. Devin Swank of Sanguisugabogg brings a “breee” or three to the track and should help to put Whatsdysmorphia onto more radars where they belong.
