A culmination of this week’s metalcore, indie, alternative, and other releases as well as picks from our staff.
Superlove – Save Yourselves (Single)
Label – Rude Records
Genre – Alternative Rock
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Paul recommends: Superlove fire back with an absolute banger, keeping up their consistent blend of chunky, downtuned riffs and sweet pop songwriting.
Volumes – Bend (Single)
Label – Fearless Records
Genre – Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: At last, the brand new Volumes record is confirmed! After a string of strong singles since early 2020, “Bend” stands as the strongest of the bunch. Slick guitar work, wonderful vocal performances, and a stellar hook make for one of the best tracks this group have penned in years.
God Complex – To Decay In A Deathless World
Label – Venn Records
Genre – Nu-Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: To Decay In A Deathless World pulls out all the stops, pounding you down track after track with unrelenting fury. With a purely pissed off sound, this is definitely an album you’ll be moshing over!
