As I Lay Dying - Tim Lambesis FINALLY responds. Acknowledges the environment has been toxic, and it trying to make that better for the next crew. Says that everyone leaving was due to Phil Sgrosso’s decision to leave, which is odd considering his was the LAST announcement made. https://blabbermouth.net/news/tim-lambesis-admits-unhealthy-environment-within-as-i-lay-dying-led-to-split-with-his-bandmates

Neon Nightmare - They Look Like Shadows ttps://youtu.be/OyfYpMF8s_g?si=dDmFIwFE6vEScDvD More goth metal awesomeness… the video plays out like an 80s horror movie too. Faded Dream album out now. ALSO this video reveals the man behind the music. Nate Garrett from Spirit Adrift. Pre-Order the album!! https://www.20buckspin.com/collections/neon-nightmare

Molotov Solution - Devour The Children https://youtu.be/HJxA5h0_L4Y politically charged deathcore. Very vocal heavy mix, but otherwise REALLY good. First new music since 2011. Title track from upcoming record.

Extreme - Small Town Beautiful https://youtu.be/SIwU9T-SbdE trying to recapture that “More Than Words” spirit it seems. Not bad though.

No Cure - Don’t Need Your Help https://youtu.be/0tQ9RyLSAnw Bleeding Through labelmates. Featuring Jesse Clark of Wielded Steel and Nick Chance of Beautiful Child Of God. THAT is crushing!

Paradise Slaves - A Fever to Defeat https://youtu.be/Tn_Iaj84phY featuring Joel Stroetzel’s little brother Tyler, and 36 Crazyfists vocalist Brock Lindow. Kind of like a more melodic Crazyfists.
