STAFF PICKS
BIND. – The End of Everything as You Know (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: Mastered by the legendary Will Putney, East Anglia’s BIND. offer up a typically fierce and biting slice of metalcore that, keeping in line with their debut material released across 2023, is worth every second of your time.
DEADSKIN – RATS IN THE WALLS (feat. Daniel Macdonald of Body Prison) (Single)
Label – Thirteen Studios
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Melbourne outfit DEADSKIN return with their groove laden style of metalcore alongside some brutal vocals that make for a weighty and forceful listen, the blistering vocals from Daniel Macdonald build a breakdown that will leave speakers rumbling.
MANAPOOL – Invoker (Single)
Label – dreamstation
(Spotify)
Joe recommends: After releasing alexandra II earlier this year, MANAPOOL continues their steady stream of releases with brand new track “Invoker”. Honing in on their ethereal brand of breakcore, with some gorgeous vocal sampling of Kingdom Hearts‘ “Sanctuary”, making for a special listen.
Incaseyouleave – Arrhythmia (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: UK screamers incaseyouleave are back with a single. Taking the genre everywhere it could go in 3 minutes, “Arrhythmia“‘s intricacies will leave you feeling blissed out and calm once it closes. Even more non-linear are Aaron Akeredolu’s vocals, the very definition of “dynamic” as he runs the gamut of gentle to gigantic.
