Bleed From Within, century media records

I have never been into Bleed From Within. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever really listened to the band before I got a promo for their latest album Uprising. What I initially thought I had got my hands on was a corny deathcore album that I was going to toss to the side. Instead of just throwing it out however, I listened to it and, after some deliberation, I have come to love it. As far as metalcore goes in 2013, good bands are few and very, very far between. As it turns out, Bleed From Within are one of those good ones. Continue reading »

august burns red, Solid State Records

Now this is a metalcore band I can get behind. I have been a fan of August Burns Red ever since I got their 2009 album Constellations on a whim. I’m not sure what drew me to the band, but I liked it from then on. These guys know how to write catchy, memorable metalcore tunes and I can get behind that.

Recently, the band unveiled the album art for their new album and it broke Solid State Records’ website. The album art is cool, but this new song the band has released is great. Continue reading »

Atlas, Epitaph Records, Parkway Drive

Back in September, Parkway Drive released their video for “Dark Days” which I wasn’t a huge fan of. The song was alright, but it just didn’t tackle me the right way. The band has now released a new music video for their track “Wild Eyes” which also comes off of their latest release Atlas. Continue reading »

From a Second Story Window, Into the moat, Lovelost Records, metal blade records, The Dillinger Escape Plan, the number 12 looks like you

I discovered Into The Moat the way a lot of people did. Well, I discovered them the way HBIH‘s Alkahest did: the long-forgotten MySpace search. I was hooked on bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan and The Number 12 Looks Like You, therefore I stumbled upon Into The Moat. From A Second Story Window fits into this story somewhere also, but this is about Into The Moat first and foremost. Apparently the dudes are active enough to give out some free tunes… Continue reading »

Yep. They’re back. This is the way I’ve wanted Killswitch Engage to sounds since Jesse left the band back in the day. The grooving riffs are incredible and Jesse’s voice is very welcome with Killswitch‘s all around improved sound.

Wait, what the hell am I talking about? Oh, not much. Just a new Killswitch Engage song that is currently streaming. It’s rad. Check it out… Continue reading »
