β Last Friday, our favourite heavy metal boyband dropped their latest EP 'Death 2' via , and it is an absolute beauty.π₯π₯π₯
β "Banks Arcade's lates creation is supercharged with energy, passion and variety, born in the darkest and most twisted parts of their minds where the lines between dreams, nightmares, anxieties and desires are blurry. It shows a near-juvenile disregard for rules but delivers a mature blend of modern metal foundation, nu metal angst, punk disobedience, hip hop grittiness, industrial frenzy, psychadelic aesthetic, and much more..." ποΈ

β A masterclass in modern EP making - 'The Abyss Pt 1' by our favourite came out last Friday via and we are already waiting for the second part. π©πͺπ₯π₯π₯
β "With its breathtaking six tracks, the EP casts a shadows over more than a few full records from this year. As far as EP releases go, Abyss Pt 1 easily stands above the crowd by a long shot, blending a hefty dose of groovy modern metalcore with aethereal synths and dystopian atmosphere for a truly exemplary piece of contemporary heavy music" ποΈ

β You better be spinning 'Human' this week, the fantastic sophomore record by French newcomers out now everywhere via , a brilliant successor to their 2021 debut, easily making them one of the hottest bands in Europe right now. π«π·π₯
β "Human marks a spectacular evolution that is to be respected and remembered for years to come...In its entirety, it is a masterclass of a modern metal record, putting equal focus on musical composition, track arrangement, lyrical themes, and even marketing campaigns. Since late 2022, Resolve dropped enough singles to get us hyped and fully aware of what is coming and yet kept enough bangers up their sleeves to keep us entertained and excited to listen to their release again and again.." ποΈ

βΒ I might be spamming about this a lot, but it is worth it, trust me. Just stop what you are doing and check out 'Paranoia Playground', the debut record by Bulgaria's finest ! π§π¬π₯
β "Against the multitude of rushed, repetitive or chaotic releases that we get weekly, Badcast seamlessly deliver an almost conceptual work with a clearly defined purpose, direction and overall atmosphere to hold it tightly in an existential chokehold. It is a volatile mix of past, present and future, echoing the psychotic and estranged feel of certain nu metal classics, whilst embracing rapcore's gritty realism in its lyrical themes and swagger in vocal delivery, as well as the raw power and intensity of modern metalcore." ποΈ

β Love them or hate them, you will struggle to find and EP with such immense significance for the post-pandemic metal world like 's '...And I Return To Notingness'.
Review of the 2021 EP still shines on the website, tracks are already overplayed across the 2021 playlists, you know where to find them. π
β It's been aΒ week since the legends inΒ dropped theirΒ eighth record Smile via , and it has brought nothing but smiles and positiveΒ vibes here, surely on repeat until the end of the Summer and probably even the year!Β π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώπ₯
β "Praising a veteran band with nothing left to prove is pointless, but if there was ever a band to find new ways to surprise this late in their career, it was always going to be Skindred. Their signature larger-than-life personality is on full display throughout the record, maintaining the perfect balance between heavy riffs, punk attitude, ragga party, and reggae positivity, delivered in the most uplifting and invigorating way and style possible." ποΈ
