This week’s culmination of metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases as well as picks from our staff.
Black Veil Brides – The Phantom Tomorrow
Label – Sumerian Records
Genre – Hard Rock
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: After a delay in June, The Phantom Tomorrow is finally here! Filled with 12 tracks that contain leveling degrees of variance, this is definitely a classic Black Veil Brides album that any hard rock or scene fan should check out!
Volumes – Happier? (Single)
Label – Fearless Records
Genre – Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: A gorgeous, atmospheric and yet appropriately djenty outing from Volumes. It’s no wonder this was supposedly a cut track from Via, given how prevalent that atmosphere (along with the gorgeous piano composition) is. Check back in November for our full review of Happier? closer to release!
Thornhill – Casanova (Single)
Label – UNFD
Genre – Alternative/Industrial Metal
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe H recommends: “Casanova” is a magnificently crafted composition that sees Thornhill absorb offerings by the likes of Deftones, Loathe and Muse. Expect grandiose singalongs aplenty, as well as super satisfying production by George Lever.
