Magnolia Park - VAMP
70

it's a fine alternative metal album. enjoyable all the way throughout, although it's too repetitve at times.

Thousand Below - Buried in Jade
83

Thousand Below’s 4th album feels like a perfect mixture of everything they’ve done up to that point. I’ve always had a soft spot for this band and this record only reinforces that.

The 1-2 punch of Kerosene and Palace of Dread is imo a 10/10 way to start the record and those are probably my favorite songs here

Memphis May Fire - Shapeshifter
68

76–>68

I liked this album at first, but never really revisited it. It’s just fine octanecore, there aren’t any bad songs here, but nothing all that great either - maybe except Shapeshifter and Necessary Evil

Falling In Reverse - All My Women
0

what the fuck is this

Etienne Sin is legitimately better than this, I’m not even kidding

Turnstile - GLOW ON
80

it took me a while to get into this album in full, but man when it hits it HITS

While She Sleeps - SELF HELL
NR

idk for some reason I really like the title track but I can’t be bothered to sit through the whole thing

To The Flowers is goated though.

GHØSTKID - HOLLYWOOD SUICIDE
55

pretty mid ://

there are some enjoyable songs and there wasn’t really anything “bad” per se on this album, but it wasn’t all that great either

100 gecs - 10,000 gecs
72

the fucking breakdown at the end of billy knows jamie

overall a really enjoyable album but I sadly didn't really like tracks 8 & 9 at all

The Callous Daoboys - I Don't Want to See You in Heaven
92

The most interesting album of 2025 so far.

We Came As Romans - BAD LUCK
80

I don’t get the hate for this song, doesn’t sound too far off from something like Darkbloom. Claiming they suddenly went octanecore is so ignorant to me, they have been flirting with this sort of sound since like 2013.

Kingdom Of Giants - Passenger
96

i straight up think this is one of the coolest metalcore albums ever made

Hollywood Undead - SAVIOR
65

its a fine octanecore song. i instantly thought it was tyler smyth because the guitars really sound like FIR

Thousand Below - Gone In Your Wake
93

this album hits different when ur going through it

PRESIDENT - Fearless
90

im VERY biased because of how much i relate to the lyrics. i love the chorus though

Sleep Token - Even in Arcadia
83

ngl, I feel like a lot of the hate for this band is just performative at this point

this album really grew on me, I didn't really like it at first, but it's just one of those records that seem to get better with every listen.

some of these lyrics are so relatable that its uncanny

LANDMVRKS - The Darkest Place I've Ever Been
85

Landmvrks is one of those bands that continue to hit the mvrk (lol) time and time again. Their brand of metalcore with some nu metal influences is really unique, even if it doesn't deviate much from your standard metalcore formula. They have managed to create a sound that feels truly theirs – and I think that's what sets them apart from the other bands in this space. There are some (imo very welcome) Linkin Park elements in this album, especially in the songs The Great Unknown ... read more

Rivilin - AND SO THE AGONY BEGAN
76

my first impression is that it's a really good and creative EP, somewhat plagued by a muddy mix which sometimes makes it near impossible to hear what the guitarist is playing. I do appreciate the creativity though and I feel like the move from solo artist to band is utilized here in a way that it wasn't on the standalone singles released by Rivilin last year.

As with most of their tracks, this hits best when you're spiraling down mentally

Grayscale - The Hart
NR

This was a really enjoyable album
