    Débruit- "Cuivrée"

    The Needle Drop

    Using the sounds of West Africa as inspiration and sampling material, the hip hop-influenced beats Débruit produces are uniquely colorful. The foreign flavors on his new album, From the Horizon, definitely give his music an otherworldly quality, but what ultimately makes this album so intriguing are Débruit’s production chops.

    Holograms- "Monolith"

    The Needle Drop

    A new track from the forthcoming Holograms album, which is self-titled and dropping via Captured tracks on July 10th. The band hails from Sweden and showcases a noisy, chaotic post-punk vibe. After a handful of listens to this album, I have to admit it is a bit similar to the

    Nachtmystium- "Borrowed Hope and Broken Dreams" (Loved)

    The Needle Drop

    Here, we have a new track dropping from the forthcoming Nachtmystium album, Silencing Machine. I actually dig it lot more than the first, which had some pretty furious, relentless, mechanical drums on it. This new track, “Borrowed Hope and Broken Dreams,” moves at a much more moderate pace, but manages

    H-SIK- "Gallerry" (Loved)

    The Needle Drop

    Dropping July 2nd on Error Broadcast, here’s a track we’re premiering from the upcoming H-SIK EP, Cocody. Originating from the Ivory Coast, French music producer H-SIK combines elements of African music and hip hop with the jittery and relentless rhythms of footwork. He executes this infusion with some

    Greenleaf- "Nest of Vipers (A Multitude of Sins)"

    The Needle Drop

    I dunno if it’s the eerie organ, heavy riffs, or the devilish lyrics, but this new Greenleaf track just has me thinking of all this cult imagery: Robes, candles. Everything! Eh, it’s probably a combination of all three. Greenleaf hails from Sweden, and Nest of Vipers is the

    Download TAMUTAMEN's Demo

    The Needle Drop

    Considering the Nordic countries commonly associated with black metal, I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow when I heard this particular band, TAMUTAMEN, hails from Tel Aviv, Israel. However, I guess it’s not such a big deal since bands like Liturgy, Krallice, Deafheaven, and Wolves In the Throne
