“Forsaken,” but this time Everyone Loves a Villain!

Cover Art

Hard rock band, Everyone Loves a Villain, from Spokane Washington, drop an epic and aggressive track, “Forsaken.”

Not long ago we featured a track also titled “Forsaken,” and this one kills it as well! The guys in Everyone Loves a Villain knock this one out of the park with an all encompassing clean vocal, tight riffing, and bursts of aggression. The track has a nice contrast between massive guitars and lightly layered sections with creative electronic production techniques. The tone of the main vocal brings me back to the classic hard rock power of bands such as Disturbed. If you grew up on hard rock and metal, and can appreciate some new twists in production, don’t sleep on this one!

Give “Forsaken” a spin here, and follow Everyone Loves a Villain for future updates!

From the fiery depths of 11|34, we bring you “Story of a Kid”

Cover Art

Italian post-hardcore band 11|34 give us a heavy riffing track with their new release “Story of a Kid!”

We always like a strong start to a song and this one doesn’t disappoint with an ultra heavy riff playing in tandem with the punch of the kick drum. Layering and progression in this track are well done with a blazing fast guitar line contrasting the flow of the verse vocals on top of the mix. The song fills in immensely when the chorus line hits, bringing a wide vocal melody that anyone could get stuck in their head. With a devilish name, catchy melodies, and well defined guitar parts, we’re looking forward to seeing what 11|34 will be summoning in the future!

Give “Story of a Kid” a listen, and stayed tuned with 11|34 to catch their upcoming EP “Extinction” set to release on April 8th!

Lüdo brings the energy to an otherwise “Negative Space!”

Cover Art

Post-hardcore band Lüdo, from Norway, bring us the twists, turns, and punch of the hardcore style!

“Negative Space” does a great job hyping you up with energy. You can almost feel the crowd surfers thrashing around you on the driving chorus line! The structuring of the song creates a dynamic soundscape that constantly moves forward without stagnating. The guys in Lüdo show some songwriting prowess with alternate chorus endings and a compelling breakdown to keep it rocking. The drums and guitars hit a groove that always seems to be flying at one hundred miles per hour and I’m absolutely alright with it.

Give the guys in Lüdo a follow and jam this track in your ears!

“Forsaken” are the ones on the Morning After Dark

Cover Art

German metalcore band, Morning After Dark, drop a classic fast paced heavy track “Forsaken!”

This one brings me back to All That Remains and As I Lay Dying, but with it’s own twist. The guitars are extra high-def for that crystal clear clarity of the riffs playing. Anyone that has been into the metalcore scene for a while can appreciate the technical heavy riffs, powerful growls, and wide clean vocals in this. Starting off with a blazing fast drum beat, this song doesn’t waste any time amping you up! I had a great time listening through this metal journey from fast, to slow, to strong sustained chorus lines.

Is Resistor the “Most Hated?” We think not!

Cover Art

The brutal boys Resistor, from Long Island, NY, are back! Bringing us another ultra sludgy beatdown, “Most Hated.”

As with their last track “Demon Time,” this one isn’t for the faint of heart! This track ramps up and explodes from the intro into a heavy drum and guitar section. Just listening to this, you can visualize some metalhead stomping around the venue floor looking to mosh. The record scratching sounds towards the beginning are also a creative introduction to sound design that really draws the ear! Slow, fast, grungy bass, this track has it all with influences from death metal, doom metal, and some industrial style sounds.

Give the deep demon club banger “Most Hated” a listen, and follow the guys in Resistor for future updates!

We hope Gareth Howatson is sticking around with this new track “BTTF”

Cover Art

UK artist Gareth Howatson hits us with a unique track, “BTTF,” showing influences from emo and pop-punk style music.

This high energy and uplifting track shows a nice mix between excitement and a touch of sadness. I have been jamming on this track for a few weeks since release and it always lifts the spirit! The vocal lines have a unique dark chorus tone to them that really makes the song pop out. The melody and lyrics are also quite catchy and relatable if you have ever been in a situation you know you just should not “stick around” in.

Give Gareth Howatson’s new track “BTTF” a listen and be sure to follow him for updates on the upcoming album!

“Bound to Thrill,” the exhilarating new Letters Sent track!

Cover Art

Germany metalcore band, “Letters Sent,” bring the fast-paced elements of hardcore and metal to their new release “Bound to thrill!”

This track will get your blood pumping with its driving drums, progressing rhythms, and aggressive hardcore vocals. The growl vocals have that nice medium between clarity and aggression, hinting at ties to melodic death metal, but with a higher level of decipherability. With well executed pacing, and an in-your-face vibe, the song maintains energy while transitioning to elevated clean vocals. All in all, this is a punchy song, that will keep you on the edge of your seat with its forward moving guitar lines. The warehouse thrashing in their music video is pretty killer too.
