Let's get started.
Malignity by Vile Apparition / Me Saco Un Ojo / Dark Descent
https://mesacounojo.bandcamp.com/album/malignity
Mechanically precise drumming violence and crazed riffs fire you into an onslaught of malevolent extremity with intense, guttural vocals spewing through the mix. The ruthless aggression shown from the very beginning will transport you back to the brutality of the '90s with a modern twist showcasing only the most gruesomely barbaric ideas from the Australian band. Warped ideas contort into truly abysmal visions of gore and depravity, with only the most malignant of sounds making the cut. Along with the groove-laden riffing, technical solos fit the unwavering madness to give some impressive shred flair to the monstrous hammering assault.
Perpetual Wasteland by STONEBIRDS / Ripple Music
https://stonebirdsarestone.bandcamp.com/album/perpetual-wasteland
Please embrace the powerful fourth and final album from French post-metal architects STONEBIRDS. On "Perpetual Wasteland", the Breton trio perfects their signature duality of crushing weight and majestic levity, offering a meditation on collapse and transcendence by weaving themes of ecological decay and human isolation into something strangely hopeful, pairing tectonic metallic riffs with heartrending vocals to find fleeting brilliance in the ruin. This is their boldest record to date and a spectacular epitaph — one that will violently sweep you out to sea only to spit you back out onto the shore, changed forever.
LITANIA by Litania / HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS Records
https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/litania-litania
A new sonic force to be reckoned with: LITANIA. This Serbian-Italian foursome conjure up a unique sonic spell called "hindustan psych", delivering a mystical blend of heavy and Indian music to cast a spell over you. Their doomy and droning soundscapes interweave aerial instrumental passages featuring traditional instruments such as sitar, dilruba, harmonium, and tanpura, while Elisa De Munari's ritualistic vocal incantations draw inspiration from ancient Indian Ragas, evoking a journey suspended between abyss and transcendence.
Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum by HÆRESIS / Vendetta Records
https://haeresis.bandcamp.com/album/si-vis-pacem-para-bellum
"Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum" - Latin for "If you want peace, prepare for war" - is a powerful and dynamic fusion of genres. The album channels the raw energy of black metal, the expansive atmosphere of cinematic scores, and the relentless weight of post-metal into a multilayered and unflinching sonic experience.
Process of Elimination by Dead Heat / Metal Blade Records
https://deadheatca.bandcamp.com/album/process-of-elimination
Process Of Elimination follows the band’s critically-lauded 2023 released Endless Torment EP. The record serves as a continuation and progression musically, while thematically it often touches on DEAD HEAT’s disdain for the powers that be. “I feel like unconsciously the music has become more complex with the songwriting and how we play live as well. We all naturally wanted to become better musicians and it shows in our music and live presence,” elaborates guitarist Justin Ton. “Our music is a metal/hardcore twist, but I’d say we intentionally leaned more and more metal in our sound.”
The Beep Test by God Alone / Prosthetic Records
https://godalone.bandcamp.com/album/the-beep-test
GOD ALONE charges through styles and vibes with the velocity of a high-speed bullet train, barreling forward at a breakneck pace, busting boundaries, and beckoning listeners to hold on for dear life. The Cork, Ireland quintet mash together math rock virtuosity, metal intensity, pop hooks, techno textures, and dancefloor-ready grooves equally at home under the glow of a disco ball or in the center of the mosh pit. This is what happens when you invite a cohort of highly skilled music nerds with all of their amps and gear beyond the velvet rope and into the V.I.P. section of the club. This is controlled chaos converted into a catchy collage of sounds. This is GOD ALONE.
Arise by Omnivide / Seek and Strike
https://omnivide.bandcamp.com/album/arise
With Arise, Omnivide push themselves further than ever, delivering a thrilling balance of technicality, melody and emotional depth. The EP cements their reputation as one of the most exciting rising forces in modern progressive metal.
