New Music Friday – November 1st, 2024

 STAFF PICKS

Chamber – Tears of Joy (Single)
Label –
UNFD
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Making a sooner than expected return with “Tears of Joy”, Chamber piece together the rawness of their early material, with the franticness of previous album A Love To Kill For, to create something absolutely immaculate.  

CVLTE & iRis.EXE – eepY.EXE (Single)
Label –
F.C.L.S.
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Jonathan recommends: Japanese hyperpop-styled rock band CVLTE bring an exciting collaboration with the talented iRis.EXE. “eepy.EXE” strikes an intriguing execution of the increasingly prevalent “hyperpop metal” genre, with the two artists styles meeting perfectly in the middle.

Identity Error – Atrophy (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Identity Error find their harshest and most brutal side yet with latest single “Atrophy”. Anguished vocals matched with instrumentals that will blow an ear off, Identity Error fully encompass the heaviness the Melbourne scene has become known for. 

Lilith’s Demise – With Teeth (feat. Kyle Medina of Bodysnatcher) (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dobbin recommends: The nasty side of deathcore fully takes a hold on “With Teeth”, trading between harrowing gnarly lows and harsh growls, Lilith’s Demise expertly use the Bodysnatcher feature to drop into a psychotic breakdown.
