STAFF PICKS
Fever Cult – HEATWAVE (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Texas unit Fever Cult show a different side to their sound on their return with single “HEATWAVE“. Post-punk and ‘gaze stylings carry us through the track, and as this backdrop shifts, Quinn‘s absolutely sublime vocals remain a guiding light.
SPLIT//BITE – Love-Letter-for-You.txt.vbs (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify)
Dobbin recommends: Chaotic hardcore raining down from Bergen, SPLIT//BITE have completely convinced us with this track. It’s a speedy bleeder, firing all cylinders all the time, peaking with its its two jubilant choruses and a bridge that can’t contain its own feedback. It’s got to be a spectacle to observe live; one can imagine the stage antics would fit alongside such carnage.
Heaven Unknown – Emerald Gaze (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: A fresh find for us at Burn It Down fest, Heaven Unknown have another hot single to put the summer to bed. “Emerald Gaze” just keeps morphing before you, folding deliciously technical into essential emo and metalcore moments. The sheer ideas-per-minute that Heaven Unknown manage, without detriment to making it all so gratifying, is perhaps what marks them as a promising rising star of the UK.
Viatorem (feat. Zeli) – Nakba (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: “Nakba” is this London metalcore band’s strongest offering yet, marrying the brutal and melodic, with a fantastic feature from Zeli for its chorus. It’s completely focused on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, not mincing its words as it lays out the atrocities that continue to unfold, and the prevailing hypocrisy that drives and excuses it all. The music video is a must-watch, and praises those who put themselves at risk to highlight the vital plight of Palestine.
