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
Karmella – Porcelain Roots (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Harry recommends: With ‘Porcelain Roots‘, New York City alternative outfit Karmella offer their heaviest song to date, a powerful and emotive metalcore tune backed by low-tuned guitars, haunting ambience, and a superb, piano-infused breakdown that hits way harder than it has any right to.
Mimi Barks – DEADGIRL (Single)
Label – Silent Cult Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Mimi Barks pushes genre boundaries with her latest track ‘DEADGIRL‘, this venomous track once again shows that Mimi Barks will soon become one of the standout stars in the UK.
Microwave – Straw Hat (Single)
Label – Pure Noise Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Sean recommends: Microwave’s new single ‘Straw Hat’ is intimate and emotional. Combined with some eclectic riffs, it makes for another strong showing from the band.
A Dozen Black Roses – Treading Ever So Deeply (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: In a sonically expansive track, A Dozen Black Roses put forward an addictively demolishing and melody riddled sound that is demanding of your attention.
