classic! vocalist from that LP is also in Sumerlands, who i think have a new record coming out this year at some point.

I recently revisited it and forgot how good it was!

Is the vocalist also in the hardcore band Rival Mob? I feel like I remember that being a thing but could be wrong..

Exactly right! Recently went on a Metal Archives trip with him :)

He is really talented! I'm going to check out Battering Ram!

Bang into 'Kind Eyes at the moment.
Album dropped today and it doesn't disappoint (other than only being a couple of new songs compared to what was on their Spotify already)

It's largely political rage aimed at the injustice of police in America and the systemic racism across the board.

That's fantastic! Wish they'd have 1 shot more of the video though, guess someone fucked it at 1:58

Nudging nu-metal, the new Slipknot is...different

i've only given it one spin so far, but I rather liked it. But then I like all the albums apart from All Hope Is Gone, and it seems i'm one of few there

One of the best songs I've heard this year.

Not sure about Rival Mob but he was the vocalist for one of my favourite hardcore bands, Mind Eraser... if it's the guy I'm thinking about.

Magnificent

new band from the guitarist that got kicked out of Absu after she came out as trans.

That’s a banger! I loved Soul Diminshed, and hadn’t realised they had new material out.

also this, from London's very own London no less:

Yeah I’ve had that on today, and enjoying a lot - awesome drumming.

Very much enjoying this

Pretty excited for Conjurer on the 4th. Who's in ?

*raises hand

Saw them a couple of years ago at the Boston Room next door. Looking forward to seeing them in a larger venue. They are excellent live and the new album is amazing.

new album is amazing indeed. more layered and complex so i am desperately hoping for a good mix.

the situation reminds me of seeing turnstile 7 years ago in the boston rooms and then at the Forum this year. decent progress ! let's hope for a similarly exponential experience for you
