New Music Friday – September 24th 2021

This week’s wrap of all the metalcore, alternative rock and other releases plus picks from our staff.

Sleep Token – This Place Will Become Your Tomb
Label – Spinefarm Records UK
Genre – Post-Hardcore, Alternative Rock
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Max recommends: (Full review here) Sleep Token‘s brand new record sees the band branching off further into the unknown with an album that is equal parts more reserved and bombastic than its predecessor.

YUQI – Rise Up / Andra Day (Cover) (Single)
Label – Cube Entertainment
Genre – K-Pop, Singer/Songwriter

Dallis recommends: With a somber cover, YUQI returns to grace us with her husky voice, showing a range not seen in (G)I-DLE. Entrancing us all once again, this is a tearjerker for sure. Happy Birthday YUQI.

Fit For An Autopsy – Far From Heaven (Single)
Label – Nuclear Blast Records
Genre – Deathcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe E recommends: Fit For An Autopsy have returned with an evolved sound while sticking to their roots that have made them a staple of the genre.
