This week’s culmination of all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff.
SION – self titled
Label – N/A
Genre – Metalcore, Hardcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: SION (Howard Jones, Jared Dines) impress on a heavy, nostalgic metalcore record. A truly strong debut, filled to the brim with enough classic Killswitch Engage worship, along with a nice sprinkling of modern djenty goodness. It’s lovely to hear Howard on a record this fierce again.
Assurance – The Beginning Of The End (EP) [STAFF BAND]
Label – N/A
Genre – Progressive Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
The debut EP from Boolin Tunes writer Joe Hammond‘s band Assurance! Make sure to check it out and give it some love!
Empty Hollow – Trilogy (EP)
Label – N/A
Genre – Deathcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: In an explosive debut, Empty Hollow show that they have come to play. Mixing distortedly disgusting riffs and deathly growls, Trilogy is a release coming out of left field, begging for you to keep your eyes on them.
Many Rooms – When Love Got in the Way (Single)
Label – N/A
Genre – Metalcore, Post-Hardcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe E recommends: Many Rooms makes a pleasant return with a heart-warming track completely with her signature airy vocals and beautiful guitar chords.
