preview  AXTY preview  Hannya (2024) 90/100    Nov 5, 2024
Hannya What. An. Album. Is it super weird? Yes. Are parts of it a joke? Yes. Is it super good regardless? Absolutely. “Melodic Deathcore” is the only way I can describe it. There are some really nice clean choruses, but there are some brutal gutturals and some of the most crushing breakdowns of the year. Even the lyrics are deep and emotional, atypical of a lot of modern deathcore. This might be one of the heaviest albums of the year, but it’s also an extremely well produced, well recorded, and well written album from a melodic standpoint. Rivals some of the best albums released this year.

preview  Kublai Khan TX preview  Exhibition of Prowess (2024) 60/100    Nov 5, 2024
Exhibition of Prowess When you release an album that’s ten songs long, under 30 minutes, and has 3 singles, you need to make every song count. Which is why there being three different tracks under a minute long makes zero sense to me. Overall, the album isn’t great. It’s another beatdown album with 10 identical songs that don’t flow. No atmosphere besides the intro track’s spoken word part (which plays well into the song and would make the album much more compelling and complete). There’s no inherently wrong with any song, but that’s the issue. There’s no risks taken and no variety. The only songs worth mentioning are Low Tech and A Hopeless Fate, which have some uniqueness to them. To summarize, it’s an album made of one song sung 10 times.
preview  A Bullet for Pretty Boy preview  Revision: Revise (2010) 85/100    Nov 5, 2024
Revision: Revise A pretty good sounding 2010 Metalcore piece that sticks just the right amount with the trend of the time and innovates in many other aspects, creating a solid release that holds its own today against the modern Metalcore scene. It’s a little bit repetitive at times, but there’s enough variation to keep it unique and interesting. The intros of some songs are super quick and feel rushed at times, but the instruments are performed amazing well. The drums are a huge standout which a mix that puts them at the forefront of each song. The guitars are good and play into each song well, while also standing out from the eras heavy reliance on lots of 0s. These are complimented by a good backing of electronics and an even better orchestral backing, very unique for its time. The vocals are nothing ... See More
preview  Loathe preview  I Let It in and It Took Everything (2020) 100/100    Nov 5, 2024
I Let It in and It Took Everything This might be the greatest metal album I’ve ever listened to. No words can explain how truly awe inspiring this album is. There’s nothing it does poorly. Kadeem France throws in downright absurd cleans and screams, the instruments are mixed and performed perfectly, and the environment starts at the album art and flows through the whole album, making it feel so connected even though the songs are so different. Coming from the Metalcore scene, I definitely hear a bit of core inspiration in there, but there’s so many sounds that it makes it such a unique listen. It’s absolutely amazing. No album compares when it comes to how put together this is. My personal favorites are New Faces In The Dark and Heavy Is The Head, which is the perfect demonstration of this album for me. Two complete ... See More
preview  To the Grave preview  Everyone's a Murderer (2024) 55/100    Oct 1, 2024
Everyone's a Murderer Oh man. Guess what To The Grave, one of the best modern Deathcore bands, just released?
It's another uninspired beatdown album that isn't mixed well and is incredibly generic. So many bands have released the same thing this year that 2024 might go down as the "year of beatdown". They must've heard Knocked Loose's first song off You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To and decided to just do that. After how good Director's Cuts was and how amazing some of the tracks off Offcuts were, I highly expected this to be one of the better releases of the year. Instead...

Similar to Kublai Khan but not as boring, this sits as an incredibly mediocre release. The only highlight is the vocals, brutal as always from Dane Evans. The instruments are performed decently but ... See More

a mind waiting to die preview  Graphic Nature preview  a mind waiting to die (2023) 95/100    Sep 6, 2024
Amazing. A simply masterfully done nu-metalcore type album with outstanding drum and guitar work, really good vocals, and super creepy atmosphere surrounding it all. Even the lyrics are impactful and telling. A super good album, probably top 3 for the year for me, especially coming from a band’s first full length album.
The Fear of Fear preview  Spiritbox preview  The Fear of Fear (2023)  [EP] 95/100    Feb 9, 2024
The perfect album when it comes to showing people what new metal sounds like. Everything is done with an amazingly high level of quality. Courtney is amazing with the vocals as always, showing more range with her cleans. The guitar and drums work perfectly with it as well, either exploding in your face when she’s angry or flowing along when it’s a more melodic tone. Spiritbox 2024 is going to be an album of the year contender, without a doubt.
The Way It Ends preview  Currents preview  The Way It Ends (2020) 85/100    Jan 17, 2024
Overall a solid metalcore album. Especially considering it came out in 2020. Some of the best and most fun riffs of the past few years, but that’s to be expected from them. Well written songs and really solid screams. However, the cleans can be spotty at times, and the transition between them can be weird. Nothing too unique or genre defining like The Death We Seek would be a few years later.
Stand Up and Scream preview  Asking Alexandria preview  Stand Up and Scream (2009) 90/100    Jan 11, 2024
This is the crabcore album for metal heads. It doesn’t lean into its crabby brother too hard (no auto tune on the choruses, electronics relatively muted) but it keeps a unique Identity. It almost feels like a sequel to Someday Came Suddenly because they’re very similar, but with Stand Up And Scream just better in most facets. Great drum work, very early 2010s guitars, with Danny throwing in an amazing vocal performance.

I am, in fact, happy now.
Perception preview  Breakdown of Sanity preview  Perception (2013) 90/100    Dec 13, 2023
The album is really repetitive, that's my only complaint. The sound is really good with no true stand out tracks but no duds either.

One of the peaks of the "Storytelling metalcore" scene. Such a unique sound that's completely absence from the scene besides their music.
