This week’s wrap-up of all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff.
STAFF PICKS
Landlords – Haunt (Single)
Label – Church Road Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Landlords front an ethereal and seemingly haunting single in “Haunt“, displaying chilling yet dreamy and enticing works, making the upcoming EP Codeine that much more exciting to look forward to.
ERRA – Pull From The Ghost (Single)
Label – UNFD
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: Fresh off their self-titled deluxe album ERRA and onto their aptly named North American tour headliner, ERRA craft up a stellar piece of work in “Pull From The Ghost“, filling it to the brim with captivating groove and hypnotic instrumentals.
Terminal Sleep – Death Therapy (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: Making their debut in newly released single “Death Therapy“, Terminal Sleep show they have what it takes to compete with the big dogs. Bolstered by crisp production, “Death Therapy” is an absurdly obliterating track that deserves all the attention in the world from the hardcore scene.
WJSN – Sequence
Label – Starship Entertainment
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dean recommends: WJSN return fresh on the heels of their triumphant Queendom 2 victory with a new special single release titled Sequence. The title track “Last Sequence” reassures audiences just why they won the show, enchanting listeners with an ethereal track and goddess-like visuals.
