This has been out for a little while, but never got pushed to metal radio… Now I guess isnce it’s nominated for a Grammy, they’re giving it another push… and well, since we didn’t do much with it when it came out, it’s worthy of airplay.  Good technical melodic deathcore type stuff.

AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED
Arc (NA Promo)
Relapse Records
Screamy doomy and sludgey…3 long tracks and did I mention that it’s doomy?  Big Meaty sound

Bury Tomorrow
Earthbound
Nuclear Blast USA
Just a single in my hands for now… but it seems like some melodic death/metalcore type stuff.  Abrasive and brutal while still being melodic and catchy…

Conan
Revengence
Napalm Records
Kind of a sludgey doom

Degradead
Degradead
Metalville Records
sounds like some pretty cool melodic death.  Great contrast between some very clean sung vox and screamy death stuff too.  Great melodic guitar work contrasting to blast beaty technical death metal type stuff.  Catchy and brutal all at the same time.  Cool stuff.

Grieved
Grieved
Prosthetic Records
A sort of doom tinged hardcore, good heavy edge while still being true to hardcore too.

MORTUARY
Nothingless Than Nothingness
Label: Goregeous Productions
Thrashy classic death metal.  Great groove sounds like some German edgy influence… just a brutal heavy death metal.  Me likey.

Brimstone Coven
Black Magic
Metal Blade Records
A grooving laid back stoner metal with a bit of a 70’s throwback

CHARMING TIMUR
So Much So Little So Little So Much

A modern post metal doomy black-ish metal with synthy stuff going on too.

PRIMAL FEAR
Rulebreaker
Frontiers Music srl
Heavy classic metal/power metal with a great edge.  These guys have always been at the top of this genre and this album keeps it up.  Melodic grooving power metal makes you want to pump your fist, sing along AND mosh it up too.

Borknagar
Winter Thrice
Century Media
Melodic folky proggy black metal. There’s folk and black metal blended with prog to make it a full package. Great stuff.

HELL IN THE CLUB
Shadow Of The Monster
Scarlet Records
A modern almost emo core thing to a quick snippet… but moving into it a bit more, it’s a driving hard rock with a strong 80’s/90’s hard rock/metal thing going on.  Probably something like the Italian Steel Panther.

Brutal black metal, but listen deeper, you have actual real melodic guitar solos and some really cool stuff.  Cool abrasive growly vox.

Kind of a doomy blackened death metal… big meaty riffs in parts with a groove yet going full on black/death metal too.

Temple Below
The Dark Goddess 12″ MLP

Grindy brutal blackened death metal.  Growly vox, drony black metal guitars, but a solid groove when there aren’t blast beats going on.

Doom with some melodic sludge

Good ol metal.  A doomy stoner vibe with a bit of some melodic classic metal going on, but the vocal production is in your face…

Wrathrone

Blackened death metal, good chunky groove, brutal vocals and overall brutal sound with a bit of melody.

CHRONOS ZERO
Hollowlands
Scarlet Records
prog metal with some good variety, male and clean female vocals. Music has some balls and good classic prog metal sorta like Dream Theater/Symphony X… contrasting vocals make it kinda neat.

Black Blood

I know I use the word groove enough… but this IS real groove metal.  Foot tappin’ head bobbin’ good classic groove metal.  Lots of meaty riffs.

Wolfhorde
Towards The Gates of North

Proggy melodic folk death metal.  This will go along well with the Borknagar above… but more folky.

Escalane
The Days of Decay
Inverse
Female fronted melodic hard rock… synthy and a bit too “poppy” for our show.
