New Music Friday – May 27th, 2022

Welcome to this week’s edition of all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff.

STAFF PICKS

iRis.EXE – SMiLE (EP) [FULL REVIEW]
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: iRis.EXE‘s debut project is one of the most intriguing we’ve come across in some time. Read more about the ins and outs of the incredibly unique AI-assisted music project in our feature piece here, and make sure to give the EP a listen!

Thornhill – Raw (Single)
Label – UNFD
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Max recommends: Thornhill‘s final single before the release of Heroine next Friday is a bouncy, attitude-y romp, and stands as one of my favourite tracks across the brand new record. Eight-string Arctic Monkeys riffs combined with the soaring vocal chops of Jacob Charlton, what’s not to love? Further, check back tomorrow for our full review of Heroine right here on Boolin Tunes!

Moxy – The Cost (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Sean recommends: Bolstered by some great talent, the new group Moxy has put out a great lead track for their upcoming album. ‘The Cost’ is emotional and engaging, showing true promise.

Conjurer – Cracks in the Pyre (Single)
Label – Nuclear Blast
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dallis recommends: In a doom-trotted explosive and ethereal track, Conjurer continue to flex their creative gusto and genius in their newly released single ‘Cracks in the Pyre‘.
