Watch out for these “Evil Eyes” from Everture!

Cover Art

Finland metalcore band, Everture, just released their powerhouse of a track, “Evil Eyes.”

The lead vocalist’s clean vocals are packed with warmth and blend perfectly with the beefy guitars and drums. With a hard rock spin on the production, the growl vocals and guitar solo come in as a nice contrast, rounding out the overall metalcore sound. I especially liked the grinding bass in verses and use of synth for an atmospheric mood. If you like a beefy hard rock style with all the aggression and edge that metalcore has to offer, this might be your chance!

Ignoring Royal Hearts would be a Disaster

Cover art

Do you miss Warped Tour? The heat? The humidity? The music?

If you answered yes to all four of those (or even just the first and last ones), you’re going to enjoy Florida-based metalcore band Royal Hearts.

The band’s latest single, “Disaster”, tosses in just enough familiarity to catch my ear, while straying far away from “generic local band metalcore”. The blend Royal Hearts brings to the table is quite appealing, and Fronz-style vocals even make a brief appearance – the sound will be familiar to anyone who attended the last five or six years of Warped Tour.

Take a listen to “Disaster” now, and be sure to follow the band via the links below!

We’re “Hellbent” on listening to this new Bridges Ablaze track

Cover Art

Metal band, Bridges Ablaze, from Austin Texas, hit us with a hefty riffing track, “Hellbent!”

I enjoyed this track particularly due to its use of heavy guitars, diverse vocals styles, and consistent pacing. While it is certainly a metal song, it doesn’t race to the finish line with overly sped up sections. The speed of the track allows enough room for the riffs and vocals to open up and breathe. The backup vocals and effects mix in for the perfect amount of space and power. The breakdown in the latter half of the song doesn’t disappoint either, complete with a solo and guttural growl. If you’re a fan of the riffing and long sustained vocal style in metalcore, this one may be for you!

We’re “Dead Addicted” to this new track from 4 Oceans

Cover Art

Metalcore band from Germany, 4 Oceans, bring it back to RMP with their new track “Dead Addicted!”

The Last track we covered by 4 Oceans, “Unbidden,” had some grungy but uplifting instrumentation with guitars and synths. Dead Addicted delivers in the same light, with a health balance between ear splitting growls and full melodic choruses. The guitars on this song I found to be especially effective, offering clarity, but not overpowering the rest of the arrangement. The synth additions hold a wider ambient portion of the mix than on Unbidden. If you like your heavy riffs with some extra edge and an aggressive vocal to combo with, try out Dead Addicted!

Get the best of Half Me with “Blacklight!”

Cover Art

German metalcore band, Half Me, slap down a hefty wall of sound with this month’s release “Blacklight.”

The beefiness of instruments really shine through on this one, with massive gritty guitars and bass. The clean and growl vocals are well executed with an engaging back and forth. Although brutal and dirty, the song has a smoothness to it that melds all elements together into one cohesive unit. Transitions throughout the track keep it moving and dynamic as well. If you like a chunky metalcore track with plenty of massive brutality, give the Blacklight video a watch! Stick with it until the end for a grinding breakdown too.

Destroy//Create and Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker bring it down to a “Whisper (Printemps)”

Cover Art

Metalcore band Destroy//Create, team up with Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker, to bring us a heavy dynamic story “Whisper (Printemps.)”

With calming clean vocals and guitar building into barking vocals and driving guitars, this song keeps a dynamic flow. I enjoyed listening to the three intensities of vocal styles, mellow, aggressive, and the wide chorus sound. You can really feel the passion put into this, with melody lines and lyrics that pull you in. The instruments keep the track punchy and escalated to match the diverse vocal styles. If you like the story in songs, with contrasting sections and dynamic changes, this one might be worth a listen!

We’re Wolves are heavier than “Titanium”

Cover Art

Metalcore band “We’re Wolves,” open the month with a heavy production “Titanium.”

The video provides awesome contrast, jumping from the clean guitar riff in the studio, to a full-on hefty mix. There are plenty of gut-wrenching growl vocals and riffing sections, with clean vocals as a break from the mayhem. The rhythm and punch in drums set a solid base for the rest of the instruments to thrive. I especially liked the variations in clean vocal melodies when they hit up in the higher register. Combining the visual story with a punchy mix makes for a compelling track any hard rock or metal fans should watch!

Coldstate show a “Gruesome” display of metal and aggression

Cover Art

Metalcore band, Coldstate, give us their new high energy and aggressive track, “Gruesome.”

The barking growl vocals in this song are on point and pair excellently with pounding drums and hefty chugging guitars. Each of the chorus sections has an effective rising feel with lots of ambience for fans of wide stereo images. Aside from the more open-ended choruses, this track holds up an impressive wall of pummeling sound consistently throughout the structure. If you love diving into the pit for some meaty riffing and growl vocals, this may be the one for you!

Saving Vice bringing “I, Dysmorphia” to light on a superficial earth

Cover Art

Vermont metalcore band, Saving Vice, hit us with another banger: “I, Dysmorphia” only a month apart from our last posting!

Normally we try to space out coverage of specific bands so they aren’t too close together, but Saving Vice deserves a bit of a shoutout on this one. Starting off with their rap style and transitioning to aggressive and clean vocals has us reeling from the impact. The use of sub bass and close up rap vocals, transitioning to huge metalcore choruses makes for an impressive progression. The chorus is extra singable and the overall ebb and flow of the song leaves tons of room for expression. If you like the classic melodic nature of metalcore and can make some room for growls and rapping, give this one a look!
