STAFF PICKS
Aggrieved – Plague Bearer (feat. Overpower) (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Packed with juicy metallic and thrashy riffs and blistering moments to throw down to, Aggrieved‘s latest single “Plague Bearer” sees a grand feature from Overpower. It’s an absolute must listen in this week’s releases of you’re a fan of heavy shit.
Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean – Sisyphean Cruelty (Single)
Label – Redscroll Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean are back with their crushing and hellish version of sludge metal that conjures haunting, suffocating soundscapes unlike much else. Opening with shrill feedback and unrelenting to it’s end, “Sisyphean Cruelty” is as bleak as it’s namesake.
Signals – Permanence (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: SIGNALS invoke an intense and emotive strain of metalcore that has recently been seen from the likes of Boundaries and 156/Silence. They’re adding their own level of sheer heaviness and aggression on “Permanence” that should see SIGNALS be the next Aussie unit to break through the ranks.
TNL VZN – Allodynia (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Once again showcasing their gorgeous blend of shoegaze and grunge, TNL VZN’s riffs are coated in melancholy, and weave through the track to create a tapestry of influences and sounds. It’s all tied together by Eva Beard‘s potent and soaring vocals.
