Albums are slowly starting to be released again

This Week:

• Eidola -- Post-Hardcore (swancore). Band has dialled back the aggression from their last release, but this album is probably the most varied of their career? I've only listened to it once, but I really like it. It seems to offer more than the standard copy-paste of Dance Gavin Dance.
• Teramaze -- Great hard, soaring, catchy melodic prog.
• Blood Lemon -- This is interesting. Stoner metal guitars with 90's alt rock vocals and harmonies. Catchy and kind of dreamy.
• The Maine -- Interesting project where they took an unused track from each album and gave it new life.
• Hazzerd -- Really fun thrash
• Sink In -- Darkish, electronic-tinged pop-rock
• Deus Sabaoth -- Dark, atmospheric black-metal. Doesn't overstay its welcome.
• Synaptic -- Tech-death

Last Week:

• Cap'n Jazz -- Their LP got the remastered treatment. Still one of my favorite albums.
• Am I in Trouble? -- Prog-y black-metal where each song's theme corresponds to a color.
• Obscure Sphinx -- Absolutely wonderful, expansive post-metal
• Wyatt E. -- Big sounding (TWO drummers!), psychedelic doom
• PATRIARKH -- Choral black-metal
• Stick to Your Guns -- Great no-frills metalcore. Maybe my favorite album of their's?
• The Halo Effect -- Melodeath
• Paleface Swiss -- Nu-metal deathcore. Super caveman shit (compliment).

 

New Stick to Your Guns came out last week, and it's surprisingly good!

 

Whoa - did not know they were coming out with anything new. And I like it - a lot!

 

new combust song is a beast, too

 

The Maine
Mac Miller

 

Day by Day
Mac Miller

also gonna check out Blood Lemon and Hazzerd based on @CapnJazzHandz descriptions alone.

 

Stale Azzwater never disappoints

 

Big fan of the new Mumford song and the new Samia song that dropped earlier in the week
