The Convalescence
No Survivors ft. Scott Ian Lewis (Carnifex) (released Jan 26th)
Blood Blast Distribution
26 January 2023
Great new stuff, brutal, catchy technical deathcore that’s melodic and a pinch of atmosphere Cool stuff!

Cawston
“DFYF”
(SBG)
This is a kind of modern pop-ish metalcore, but more of a “hard rock” emo core

Dying Fetus
“Unbridled Fury”
(Relapse)
Well, I think the song title of this new single says it all. Technical, brutal heavy and pretty catchy

Siege of Power
This Is Tomorrow
Metal Blade Records
17 February 2023
This one is a kind of deathy thrash but with a cool heavy groove

Hellripper
Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags
Peaceville Records
Straight up blackened thrash, technical and fast headbanging good times

VEIL OF MAYA
Godhead
Sumerian
Technical death core with a smidge of that electronic industrial djent stuff

BLESSED CURSE
STREET FREAKS
M-THEORY AUDIO
Catchy heavy thrash (just a single – more please!)

Seerd
I Won’t Comply (Single)
Flesh And Blood Records
This is a kind of modern metal, melodic and maybe a little prog-ish

Sixty Watt Shaman
Antidote (Single)
Megalithic Media
Good ol classic stoner metal. cool stuff.

RIKETS
MISERY
GODSIZE RECORDS
A melodic kind of progressive thing with atmospheric sounds arching over the track, there are some crunchy heavy parts too. Decent stuff.

Misanthropik Torment
Album: Ecdysis
Label: Earache Digital Distribution / Misanthropik Records / Kvlt und Kaos Productions
Release date: February 14th, 2023
Mostly death metal with some black metal tendencies, there’s a bit of a melodic groove too.

Sifting
Nemesis
Eclipse Records
17 February 2023
So, when a band does a cover of one of my favorite Arch Enemy songs, it will automatically pique my interest, then it gets to the singing parts… they kind of throw an Avenged Sevenfold vocal vibe, but the music is on point. It’s interesting, that’s for sure.

Ancestral Blood/Vesterian
Release title: Through the Enchanted Forest of Illusions/Dead Beneath the Dark Open Seas Split
Label: Self-released
Release Date (dd/mm/yy): 13-02-2022
Two tracks, Ancestral Blood’s track is a very atmospheric black metal thing… vocals are really not even the forefront as much as the loud keyboard filling, the Vesterian Track is a bit similar, but a bit more doom and gloom.

Dead Soul Alliance
Spiralling to Lunacy
Cryptorium9
17 February 2023
A kind of groovin’ death metal a bit of melody but full on brutality and lots of groove. A smidge of a black metal thing too. Great stuff!

DEPRAVATION
IV:LETVM
Lifeforce
February 17th, 2023
This has some classic black metal stuff going on, but great production, and all that good stuff, shrieky vox, blast beats but some good catchy grooves too.

Sarpa
Mauta Tala
Self-Release
17 February 2023
Just three songs, two of them are about 12 mins. Some fast and heavy/brutal blackened death metal and since the tracks are so long, they do branch out and get a little melodic in parts too. Decent stuff.

Last Legion
Metall, Blod & Aska
Grind to Death Records
17 February 2023
This kind of sounds like a black metal Amon Amarth, good grooves, a cold black metal harshness and a little bit “cold” on the production, but not lofi or anything

DUSK
Spectrums (Out Feb 17th)
Self-Release
17 February 2023
This has a melodic metalcore thing going on, a bit heavier in parts, some great harsh vox and shouts along with a higher pitch clean vox.
