The song possesses a driving and straightforward set of verses, a wide open and gothic chorus, and a sudden 6/8 groove for the solos that feels right out of those classic King Diamond albums.

Fenriz describes Pre-Historic Metal as 'a loose term,' stating, 'just figure it's our VIBE, our take on things and it's more a statement that we use old style to create something new.' He emphasizes their identity as metal with 'very loud guitars' and characterizes the music as 'frightfully barbaric but not without finesse.'

We need this, perhaps more than ever, and we suspect we are not alone. The trials and tribulations in our personal lives and as a band, combined with simply trying to navigate the insanity of our society, with the stress, anxiety, and isolation that come with it can be excruciating.

Recorded between Berlin and Baltimore, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! is the experimental rockers' first album to feature vocals, and follows 2022's Comradely Objects. It builds out Horse Lords' core lineup of Owen Gardner, Max Eilbacher, Sam Haberman, and Andrew Bernstein with bass clarinetist Madison Greenstone, trombonist Weston Olencki, and vocalists Nina Guo and Evelyn Saylor.

It started out as an album full of death metal songs with speed and aggression. Then Chris had the brilliant idea to keep half of those death metal songs and add some groovier songs in the vein of the early SIX FEET UNDER material.

Panopticon and Catharsis are doing a short co-headlining East Coast tour together this fall! The tour kicks off in Boston on October 8 before hitting Brooklyn's Market Hotel on October 9 and then shows in Philly and Baltimore. Tickets go on sale Friday (3/6).

Terror remain a veteran hardcore band that is deeply involved with the current hardcore scene, and every band opening this tour is a band that's shaping the future of hardcore as we speak: LIHC ass-kickers Pain of Truth, Baltimore's charismatic End It, and LA youth crew revivalists Start Today.

'Song of the Swamp' is rooted in where we're from. Driven by Florida and the raw aggression of nature, it's a heavy track built on tension and hostility.

Home Front, the Edmonton, Alberta band formed by Graeme MacKinnon of Canadian hardcore band No Problem and Clint Frazier, who used to lead electro-rock group Shout Out Out Out Out, will be on tour this spring in support of their third album, Watch It Die, which was released last November. The first half of the tour is supporting Angel Du$t with Béton Armé and Odd Man Out, and the second half is with Bootlicker.

The vibe and feel of this new one is almost addictive. We couldn't be happier with how it came out and we can't wait for everyone to hear it! This album takes what we've done on the last couple of records and truly brings it to a new level. The material stays true to our roots, but also goes into some new territory at times, being somewhat ambitious, but taking nods from even our earliest moments.

On the older records everything was self-recorded, home-recorded, on a laptop or on tape, and always with really limited resources," Sam Ray says. "I think we became known for that but it was also very limiting to be seen as a lo-fi band.

The trek is routed around Napalm Death's festival appearances at Welcome to Rockville (May 7th), Sonic Temple (May 14th), and Maryland Deathfest (May 20th). Headlining dates run from May 8th in Tampa, Florida, through June 14th in Vancouver, with Deadguy supporting select shows from May 11th through May 23th, and Primitive Man opening certain dates between May 21st and June 14th.

Dream Fatigue is a new-ish Massachusetts band launched by former Fleshwater/Vein drummer Matt Wood and fronted by Jonali McFadden, and they make shoegazy alt-rock that's not too different from what Matt was doing in Fleshwater. They released their debut LP The Lady In The Sky in 2024, and now they announced a new seven-song EP, No Requiem, due February 13 via DAZE ( pre-order).

Exodus with Rob Dukes is a whole 'nother beast. "3111" marks the vocalist's return to the fold after last appearing on an album in 2010, and what a return it is. On a song that's about narco killings in Juarez, Dukes gives a sufficiently menacing performance that's startlingly unhinged. The other members of Exodus said Dukes gave "the performance of his life" on the band's upcoming album

Jake has always had control of the band. There's a reason Patty left even though he is the primary writer. Jake is an ICE apologist and I will not fuck with someone like that. I don't give a flying fuck what we've been through. I cannot trust a person who thinks this is necessary. And honestly fuck you if you support this ICE shit.

"Certainty" is certainly one of the best songs by Black Veil Brides to date. Forget that this is the same band from their 2010 debut album We Stitch These Wounds, because this doesn't sound anything like that, nor is it remotely screamo. Rather, we get high caliber melodic metalcore with some nice alt-rock inflections via the clean singing of vocalist Andy Biersack. He sounds equally strong during the harsh, chuggy parts here, as well.

San Diego hardcore band Mizery made a lot of noise back in the mid 2010s, but they haven't released new music since their 2016 debut LP Absolute Light, and in 2023 they were forced to hit pause after the untimely passing of drummer Cayle Sain. But today, they announced a new self-titled EP, due March 20 via Flatspot ( pre-order).
