For fans of metalcore from before that was a derogatory term. They also put out a split with Zao if you need a dated co-sign.

Go get this. 

Super pissed riffy stoner metal? I’m in.

This reminds me a lot of the early Single Mothers, which is not a bad thing.

Was this band big or notable? I found them a few years ago around the time their last full length came out, but know pretty much nothing about them.

Go listen to the whole album.

Pretty on the nose thrash, right down to the nuclear zombie radiation suit art work. But its good and fun.

Go get it.

Growled metal with some non-glam glitter, atmospheric tendencies and a touch of melodic punk.

Go get it.

Droning ambient noise by a guy with 9 toes in a white ghillie suit.

Go get it.

This is catchy as all hell.

Get it here

The band says they’re a hardcore band with thrash, and punk influences. I’d say its the opposite, I hear a lot more punk than I do hardcore. Its good though.

For whatever reason, Knull isn’t on Bandcamp, only Apple Music, Spotify and Youtube.

I know this album is getting a lot of attention right now, but it deserves it.

Get it.

I loved the first Sumac album. I still think its their best release, but its also their most straight forward release. Each thing they put out pushes listenability further and further out. Now I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to the band, and even then I end up skipping around past the real “free jazz” parts of songs.

There are parts of this nearly 19 minute song that are fantastic, but you have to fade in the find them.

Slow crushing crusty doom featuring a member of Hellish Form.

Despite, not being on my list of favorite albums of 2020, Stay Alive seems to something I keep going back to.

This track, Old Friend (Stay Alive) was the first thing that really grabbed me and is a pretty perfect pandemic song (even if that wasn’t the intention). Now with repeat listening, there are just so many great songs on this album, The Mountain Song, Super Natural Possession and Hanging Tree and stand outs for me. I’d don’t think there is any filler on the album. I like it so much I’ve been revisiting Against Me! later albums I fully ignored.

 Its great. Go get it it.
