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!

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.

Cover Art

Metalcore band Hostage, from Germany, drop “Cancer,” teaming up with Rotarian Metalhead Fellowship to raise funds for world cancer day on February 4th, 2022.

Hostage does a great job incorporating high-movement lines while maintaining a solid rhythm on this track. The guitar riffs are interesting, yet hold the concrete depth that is needed to bring a metal mix together. The amount of aggression in the growl vocals is on point, with lots of energy and a good blend with the clean vocals. On top of it all, the song has that bass and kick drum punch that works so well with grindy riffs in this genre. Stay until the end to hear the ramping tempo transition.
