STAFF PICKS

Thornhill – Heroine [FULL REVIEW]
Label – UNFD
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Max recommends: Thornhill‘s long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s The Dark Pool is anything but a direct continuation. Combining wide-reaching influences with a brand of ethereal, djenty metalcore that is truly their own, Heroine is a truly unique record in the world of heavy music that demands to be absorbed over multiple listens.

Ithaca – Camera Eats First (Single)
Label – Hassle Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dallis recommends: Ithaca deliver an absolute masterclass in “Camera Eats First“, bringing forth inexplicable riffage and melody that is able to take you on a transformative journey throughout its lifespan.

Pintglass – Tarzan of The Boozer (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dallis recommends: In chaotic and disorienting fashion, Pintglass release a beatdown brain-melter that is sure to bring you on a hardcore adventure.

Pale – Collapse (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Pale offer up a beautiful and moving track which will be a worthy listen for those looking for new and exciting melodic hardcore.
