New Music Friday – November 12th, 2021

This week’s wrap-up of all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff.

GILT – In Windows, Through Mirrors (EP) [FULL REVIEW]
Label – knifepunch records
Genre – Post-Hardcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dallis recommends: Tackling the difficult subject of gender dysphoria, GILT do a stellar job at evoking sorrow in the form of a 3-piece EP. This is a beautifully done EP deserving of high praise.

Silk Sonic – An Evening With Silk Sonic
Label – Aftermath Entertainment
Genre – R&B
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Max recommends: Supergroup Silk Sonic impress on an electrifying debut as a unit, filled to the brim with the smoothest of classic R&B. Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak are no strangers to greatness, but even by their standards this is something much, much more.

Sonnet Of The Damned – Too Little, Too Late (Single)
Label – N/A
Genre – Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe H recommends: UK metalcore newcomers Sonnet Of The Damned slam hard with their debut track. Expect high-octane riffs, punishing percussion and abundant aggression throughout.

Rolo Tomassi – Drip (Single)
Label – eOne
Genre – Mathcore, Post-Hardcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Sean recommends: Rolo Tomassi are only getting better as evident by their new track “Drip”. It is gripping and harrowing in all the best ways, and their new album will surely be one of the best of 2022.
