A beautifully theatrical style release from Crash World delivers such an honest testament to personal struggle that it's hard to turn away from. The song delves pretty deep from a very personal perspective, and it's this kind of robust honesty that gives it as much character and personality as it actually has. The song itself feels sort of sad, and its melodies are also lush and sort of colorful in their performances and textures. You can tell this is a song that was influenc

The new Bruecken album release drops you into this vastly atmospheric set of soundscapes that have the ability to take you away to different places in a very unique sense, by bringing together ambient tones and space along with heavy and edgy tones. Years That Answer  is a record that starts by pulling you into a world that has a beautifully constructed set of textures, driving percussion, building guitar sections, and still with that ambience in its underbelly, all coming to

A new EP release from Nightmarer delivers a brutal and trudging blend of doom, thrash, speed, and blackened death metal, all put together into this one extensive release that hits with a blistering set of tonalities and deepening guitar riffs. When you start listening to this record you could tell right off the bat that these guys have a love for their craft. Their passion for brutal metal is something that they hold very high and I love how they're able to bring together the

A new release from Amanda & James just dropped, and this track portrays such a great sentiment when it comes to relationships. Even though they know they're not making a comeback anytime soon, it's very light-hearted, and it focuses on such a great storyline between two people that sort of know things have ended, and they're not making that come back, but it's okay. I definitely dig the sentiment because it speaks volumes for the duo and how they're able to be open in terms o

A vastly experimental album release from The Beatroot Road delivers such a lush and outside-the-box set of soundscapes that blend and mesh together seamlessly, but still have a way of branching out in different directions with each new track. This is a full record of songs that feel spacious, cinematic, and again, quite experimental, as you never really know what's going to happen next. This release is packed with surprises around its corners, unique production approaches, an

The Rat Utopia Experiment returns with an absolute threshing banger that reaches into the depths of everything riot rock was built on while blending in elements of punchy garage and loads of swagger-riddled attitude that all come together and create something that hits hard and boasts unbelievably infectious energy. "Blast!" comes through as a 2-minute powerhouse that is absolutely relentless and completely addicting. This embodies what a lot of punk rock is all about, but fo

Hail The Ghost is known for releasing and creating songs that have messages behind them, whether they are stories or personal attributes that get delivered boldly and with very few boundaries or walls built around. The music is normally very vast and always has that cinematic feel to it, which is always one of my favorite aspects about the soundscape that's usually brought to light through their songs. Lyrically, there is almost always very little being held back. At times yo

A new release from The Victim manages to pull together a lot of classic influence while bringing in a warm and welcoming pop rock approach. I feel like the classic rock influence comes from artists like Springsteen because the tracks have this sort of particular tonality to them in terms of the guitars, and the way the vocals are performed as well. "This Town" is the main single of focus and does give such a story, told with some amazing detail, so that you can sort of paint

Fake Mannequin just dropped a new single, and this thing really reaches into the depths of alternative pop, with super spacious, ambient underbellies and just the right amount of edginess and Intrigue to sound super alluring. It gives me a little bout of nostalgia because it feels like something that was released in the late 90s, and I dig that a lot. The song boasts a very cinematic aesthetic. It's got an amazing format and arrangement so that it really grows and sort of swa
