Dark Divine, a name that has grown pretty big within the modern Metalcore realm, particularly in the “spooky” space, has just dropped a jam-packed 13 track album ‘Undead Melody’. This is a band I discovered thanks to their marvelous debut album ‘Deadly Fun’ that captured a perfect energetic ... read more

2016 was an excellent year for Metalcore, and Annisokay was no exception. Following up their 2015 album ‘Enigmatic Smile’ they were quick to turnaround and immediately hop back into the studio to get another album out, and by no means was it a clone of the last album at all, quite vastly different. At this point in Annisokay’s career you can tell they were just crossing the line of finally discovering their ... read more

Sace6 is one that has grown increasingly popular over the past year, the name is almost inescapable at this point especially if you follow any genre in the core space. I put them onto my list of bands I'll give a first listen to whenever they release a new body of work, so what better time to give them a first listen than their debut ... read more

Anyone who knows me knows how special this band is to me. This band was truly my first ever real obsession that I discovered on my own. I discovered them in early 2019 and during that time they were still on this album cycle of ‘Arms’. During the time I discovered them I was just entering ... read more

This is another case of a band going from a very small tight knit fanbase to nearly exploding into a much much larger fanbase with one album. Weirdly enough this band took a 5 year hiatus after the release of their debut album, a lot of people who ... read more

Bilmuri is quite the interesting band, I’ve been listening to them since I found them in 2020 (yes another 2020 discovery I know) I feel like they really struck gold with Eggy Pocket, that is still one of the most unique EP’s of all time in my eyes. Ever since then Johnny has been striving to find the next big sound, and he ... read more

The dedication to a singular color is a really cool concept. Colors are all around us, making meaning to every thing they’re a part of. A singular color could develop a deeper meaning bleeding into everyday life aspects. That’s exactly what Pinknoise is. I found them thanks to a tiktok I came across for the debut single “Never Last” and was immediately grasped by the hooks, I wrote the name down and kept an ... read more

I got into this band at the perfect time, right as they started discovering their identity and the sound that makes them unique. Blending elements of modern metalcore, djent, and progressive metal, this band has found its footing within the last year or so and as they should. Every element about this band is fantastic and you can tell a ton of thought is going into each key piece in the ... read more

It's weird going from a band losing a vital member, to a new vocalist joining and absolutely ripping it on vocals with the new material, then the new vocalist leaving and the old vocalist rejoining, almost in the span of a year. That's the fate Until I Wake had with this release. Life changes though and ... read more

As Everything Unfolds is yet another discovery I made during 2020 with the single "Hiding From Myself" as did most people who are into this band. I remember listening to it once and it didn't click much for me. But literally the single released after called "Take Me There" I was immediately hooked with the style they were going for and I had that song ... read more
Nevertel is one I’ve been following since mid 2019, I wish I knew how exactly I discovered them but I'd like to say it was either via Youtube or Spotify. When I found them they only had below 30k monthly listeners (probably even less) back when they released their 2021 album 'Everything In My Mind' I felt like they hit a gold mine and I was wanting them to blow up so damn bad. Fast forward a few years to 2023-2024 when they really started posting videos on TikTok, out of ... read more

First off; How in the world are there no reviews for this album??? Makes no sense with how much I see people talk about this but I'm honored to be the first. This album is praised by most as being their magnum opus and I definitely see why. I remember listening to this all the way through back in 2024 when Breakthrough Records announced the ... read more

I decided to go back and revisit Before I Turn's discography because of how much I love the new album and the fact that they've finally clicked for me after like 5 years of trying to get into them. Lovelorn is an album I remember vividly listening to upon release back in 2020. There were a couple tracks I kept in my rotation back then but apart from that I remember not caring for this ... read more
