  • Nordic rock ‘n’ rollers Kvelertak have a new video out for their new single, “Bruane Brenn,” which is gonna be on the band’s sophomore album dropping later this year, Meir. It’s always nice to see a metal band not take themselves too seriously, eh?

    Ever since the release of their D.R.U.G.S. tape last year, I’ve been feeling what New York’s Flatbush Zombies have to offer more and more. I’m definitely warming up to them, but I think they’re refining their style as well, combining classic boom

  • Nails are probably one of the most vicious acts in underground American music right now, and their new song “God’s Cold Hand” shows that if anything, they’ve gotten more pissed off. Sandwiching the grind mentalities of bands like Rotten Sound and Gaza with the fuzzy distortion of classic

  • The debut full-length from Code Orange Kids delivers all of the heaviness the band’s previous EPs promised, but the songs tend to be somewhat hit-or-miss. WATCH THE REVIEW

    Heretic Ep by GORE TECH / ROTATOR Some heavy bass and hard breaks from this new Gore Tech and Rotator single for the track “Heretic,” which is just too heavy and crushing to deny. It’s a destructive combination of dubstep, digital hardcore, and breakcore that’s been aptly uploaded to

    Bone Dance by BONE DANCE Some sludgy hardcore from the new, self-titled Bone Dance record, which you can stream for free via the widget above. The band’s vocalist Morgan Mechling is relentlessly gruff, and the band itself hammers out some pretty nice riffs over the course of these 10

  • 2012 Demo by Blessed State Some catchy, energetic, and melodic hardcore punk coming from this new demo from Western Massachusetts’ Blessed State. It’s rough around the edges, but surely worth a listen. Some great guitar leads manage to shine through the grit of this recording, and some spots like
