STAFF PICKS
crooked – Kill the Static (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify)
Joe recommends: Our friends from New Jersey returned with in another banger in “Kill the Static“, packing all the hallmarks of 00s metalcore and heavy rock. This quality and authenticity can only be produced by someone who really lived through that era. Whether it’s the distorted chorus backed by melodic riffs or the big breakdown at the close, it’s the sort of track that would be found being made into an AMV back in the day.
Karmanjakah – Dove (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify)
Dobbin recommends: It’s been three years since Karmanjakah released new music, a long winter that now thaws to the sound of “Dove“. In a world that’s getting dark and heavier, their concept of ‘happy thall’ has never been more magnetic, and this must immediately be their greatest track. Burst blasts, angelic vocals, and pirouetting leads swirl together to create a djent experience that is frankly life-affirming.
Monochrome – Still Suffering (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: If the sublime single “Levitate” wasn’t convincing enough that Monochrome are a blue chip prospect of the UK’s underground scene, then “Still Suffering” will be the track that does. Blending haunting soundscapes with baritone riffs and piercing screams, there is an otherworldly atmosphere to what Monochrome are crafting here, with their sophomore record set to be something quite special.
Vaticinal Rites – Augury Of The Bloodied Crucible (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Vaticinal Rites deliver a death metal masterclass in two minutes flat. “Augury of the Bloodied Crucible” both enthrals and smashes face as it tours through riffs and patterns that feel both classic and cutting-edge. Whether this is a one-off or the start of a release cycle for LP2,Vaticinal Rites have by now carved their mark into UK death metal’s dark future.
