Welcome to this week’s New Music Friday, our wrap-up of all the releases ranging from metalcore, post-hardcore, indie and alternative. Take a look at our release calendar to see what releases are due soon. The NMF playlist can be found here or at the bottom of the page.
Commoner – whateversleftisyours (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Continuing their return “whateverleftisyours.”, Commoner create a layered and impact experience, bringing together weighty reverb guitars, brooding drum grooves and commanding vocals to make for a superb track.
Blanket – Euphoria (Single)
Label – Church Road Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Nisrin recommends: Shortly after the release of Blanket’s newest EP, Blue Eyes, the quartet have returned with their newest surprise single, “Euphoria”. With Bobby Pook’s drony, melancholic vocal style, and this track’s strikingly cathartic outro, “Euphoria” represents the natural progression one would expect coming from their last project.
Arimea – Castiel (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify)
Joe recommends: Arimea continue to hit their stride in 2023 with new single “Castiel“, Deftones-inspired guitars pluck away while Cooper’s gorgeous vocals lead and elevate the track into something grand.
Windvent – Psiquiatra (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Jonthan recommends: Mexican progressive metalcore band Windvent return with “Psiquiatra”. Their smooth blend of beautifully intricate leads djent rhythms fill a void for fans of older Novelists.
