New Music Report – January 13, 2023

Honestly, there still isn’t a ton to talk about this early in the year, but there has been some exciting news for coming music, and a few interesting releases that we’ve seen already. Of course, the big news this week is the new Periphery album announcement that came along with two incredible singles. That album should be a real highlight for the year, and with two singles already out, we should get some more tastes of it coming up.

As for album releases, there’s still just kind of a mishmash of nonsense this time of year. We’ve got a .ten56 EP which is really good nu-metalcore and a re-release of a classic Lights & Motion album, which is a fairly unknown post rock producer, and I happened to love this album when it first came out so that’s a nice little nostalgia trip but not much more.

That’s really about it though. Vile Valo put out a solo album, Obituary put out an album, nothing I’m hugely excited about. We’ve got a few more weeks before that happens.
