New Stuff This Week… 6/30/14
EVERY TIME I DIE
From Parts Unknown
Epitaph
Metalcore, but just man, in your face screamy wall punked up metal. A bit of techy mathcore stuff going on too… They’re back and showing everyone they’re not fucking around again.
Chelsea Grin
Ashes To Ashes
Razor And Tie
Brutal metalcore…(deathcore) just a wall of brutal chugging math-djent-ish metal… but catchy and
Novembers Doom
Bled White
The End Records
Melodic, proggy death metal along the lines of Opeth, but leaning more on the Death Metal. In the past they seemed to lean more on the Doom… it seems like they have a good balance of death and doom along with melodic death type stuff too.
Sonic Syndicate
Sonic Syndicate
Nuclear Blast USA
Some heavier commercial sounding metal. A bit like a Five Finger Death Punch, but with a fuller sound seemingly filled in with electronic keyboard type stuff… but it stays heavy and cool. Track 5 features Speed from Soilwork!
AMBERIAN DAWN
Magic Forest
Napalm Records
Proggy/power metal with female vocals… kind of seems like a typical euro fe-metal band. Clean sung female vox, almost have an Abba quality to them. Music is keyboard heavy, so I guess that throws them a bit more into the Symphonic metal category.
Temple Desecration
Communion Perished MLP
Iron Bonehead
One track… long song, kind of doomy black metal.
Eternal Oblivion
Human Fields
Horror Pain Gore Death
Blackened thrash… great catchy thrash. A big wall of sound
Save the Clock Tower
Wasteland
Bullet Tooth
Melodic metalcore type stuff, screamy vocals.
SPELLCASTER
Spellcaster
LONE FIR RECORDS (BAND RUN)
A bit of a throwback of some basic sounding Priest type stuff, or maybe a basic “metal” band. Clean vocals, just your standard metal formula… nothing awesome, nothing bad. \m/
1000Mods
Vultures
The Lab Recs
A bit of a stoner metal thing with a little grungy feeling.
Marmozets
“Marmozets EP”
Roadrunner Records / Roadrunner Promotion
At first, I thought it was another emo sounding metalcore thing… but then the more you get into it, it’s british female vocals that then go more the direction of Otep or something. Just a three song EP, but female fronted modern metal with a pissed off punk edge and melodic stuff too.
GAME OVER
Burst Into The Quiet
Scarlet Records
Classic sounding thrash, great production, catch stuff.
Everley
The Tyger And The Lamb
10 June 2014
Post metal, indie sounding stuff.
DWELL
Far Dark Helm
Self-Released
Doomy, cold, black metal type stuff.
