New Music Report – February 25, 2022

We still aren’t QUTE in full swing yet, or at least not seeing the regularity of releases you get in late spring or the fall, but there are still some really cool hidden gems like we have this week, and as I’ve said before, a lot of very cool singles foreshadowing some big things for later in the year. Honestly, this week my highlight was the Limbs and Static Dress singles, so be sure to check those out. Limbs is a very good metalcore/post-hardcore hybrid, and Static Dress sounds like 2003 era post-hardcore like Funeral for a Friend or, probably not coincidentally, A Static Lullaby.

Corpsegrinder – Now, after about three decades worth of material from Cannibal Corpse, I don’t think anyone is really going to be surprised with what they hear from Corpsegrinder’s solo album. In fact, the biggest surprise is probably that a solo album is so damn good, it’s usually hard for artists with such established bands to stand on their own with solo albums as any more than a novelty, but this album rips.

Singles/Albums – Limbs (Metalcore), Static Dress (Post-Hardcore), Erra (Muse Cover, Metalcore), Bad Omens (LP, Metalcore), Wolves at the Gate (Post-Hardcore), Stray From the Path (Hardcore), Silverstein (Post-Hardcore), Crowbar (Sludge), Mouthbreather (Mathcore, Primus Cover), Scary Kids Scaring Kids (Post-Hardcore, Feat.
