STAFF PICKS
Graven Image – The Day Is Mine (Single)
Label – The Coming Strife
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Catching everyone’s ears on the UKHC comp, Graven Image emphasise the “metallic” in “metallic hardcore“. “The Day Is Mine” is a classic arm swinger with production that feels both spenny and direct. It hints that their next release will be a whirlwind of thrash riffs and ignorant breakdowns.
LIE – CREEPIN’ (Single)
Label – FACELESS INC.
(Spotify)
Joe recommends: HTX unit LIE drop fierce single “CREEPIN’” that shows a presence and prowess that will see them become a force to be reckoned with not just in their local scene but on a larger stage in the future.
No Home – Empty Veins (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Jonathan recommends: No Home delivers a more-than-satisfying experience on “Empty Veins“. Punctuated with the hallmarks of melodic hardcore alongside intricate lead lines and dissonance-filled breakdowns, the road towards their debut album looks promising.
Revoid – Blood Petals (ft. Julian Latouche) (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Harry recommends: Australian metalcore outfit Revoid take a more subdued, melancholic approach with their latest single, “Blood Petals“. A belted feature from countryman Julian Latouche (Inertia) offers great contrast to the track’s gentle, vulnerable vocals and instrumentation. It’s heartfelt, tugging at the emotions and truly popping when it opens up.
