New Music Report – March 11, 2022

Lots of really cool singles this week. If I’m honest, they actually far outweigh the full lengths. Of course, we’ve got the huge return of Alexisonfire, who may sound different these days but it is still equally exciting. Then of course, Greyhaven, who is another big favorite of mine, so lots of cool stuff coming up.

Wolves at the Gate – I really loved the last Wolves at the Gate album. They’re a really perfect combination of metalcore guitars with post-hardcore vocals, and the last album came together perfectly. I’m not entirely sure I like this one as much, maybe I’ll have to give it a few more listens. The same formula is there though, so it’s worth checking out if you’re into metalcore with clean vocals.

Angelmaker – This band is fucking dirty. Really, really heavy traditional deathcore that departs from the more melodic or blackened stuff that we’re hearing throughout the genre these days. It’s honestly just an absolute beatdown for the sake of being heavy. And honestly, that’s a pretty refreshing change.

Singles/Albums – Greyhaven (Metalcore), Darko (Deathcore), Be Well (Punk), Aviana (Metalcore), D.R.U.G.S. (Post-Hardcore), Miss May I (Metalcore), Alexisonfire (Post-Hardcore), Terror (Hardcore), Drug Church (LP, Grunge), Palisades (Metalcore)
