Mind Equals Blown

Having formed less than a year ago, Secrets has already got the production quality and grasp of the genre under its belt. Their first full-length The Ascent is chock full of typically energetic harmonized choruses, breakdowns, and hardcore fury. The thing is about this record is that it isn’t totally on par with other scene-core

What a journey it has been. Going through a plethora of musicians, Before Their Eyes have shown their commitment to the industry. With the return of original vocalist Nicholas Moore, the life that was missed on previous records is back. Being around longer than a good number of bands shoving their way through the scene

Lately we’ve seen a lot of bands trying to break into the United States’ sanctum of hardcore/metal, and few have the chops to garner the respect that is necessary to survive in such a crowded genre. Now, Voyager is a group of five guys from the depths of Brussels, Belgium, and they’re a force to

Eyes closed, ears open. The next full-length from A Hope For Home, titled In Abstraction, demands this kind of attitude to take in the full experience. Releasing their third album in three years, one could reasonably the expect the typical downfall with bands crafting records in such a short time. It’s hard to find an album
