 If you like metal, sludge, post-rock, hardcore, and ambient atmospheres, this album will be a godsend.

 The violence and urgency shake the foundations of the entire scene with a modern but NEVER intrusive production.

Trenches' debut album, The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole, is praised as a groundbreaking release blending metal, sludge, post-rock, and ambient elements. The album offers a diverse yet cohesive experience with no fillers and intense vocals by Jimmy Ryan. It stands out amid a scene struggling with stagnation, presenting a fresh and powerful sound reminiscent of Hydra Head and Neurot Records' finest works. Listening at high volume is highly recommended to fully appreciate its impact. Listen to Trenches' powerful debut and experience a post-metal journey like no other!

 Maximum The Hormone are famous for mixing multiple musical genres by combining two songs into one that have nothing to do with each other.

 This is stuff that doesn’t leave you indifferent (in the end, I believe that’s what matters in music).

Maximum The Hormone's Bu-ikikaesu stands out for its unpredictable genre mashups and shocking style. The album mixes hardcore, doom, funk, and catchy choruses with manic energy. Though some tracks feel patchy and the Japanese lyrics add a quirky tone, it captivates listeners with originality. The review highlights the polarizing nature of the band and their clear distance from typical J-Rock trends. Listen to Bu-ikikaesu and experience the wild, genre-bending shock that is Maximum The Hormone!

 It’s an acoustic album that is not acoustic at all.

 Death Acoustic is undoubtedly the rowdiest acoustic album that has ever crossed my path.

Death Acoustic by Nick Oliveri is a unique and intense acoustic album that defies traditional acoustic norms. Featuring raw screams instead of typical singing, it channels punk and metal energy through acoustic guitars. The album includes notable covers and an original track, highlighting Oliveri's gritty style. It’s a must-listen for fans seeking authentic and powerful acoustic music. Listen to Death Acoustic now and experience punk-fueled raw acoustic energy like never before!

 If you’re not familiar with the band, but especially the album in question, I’d describe it with a simple adjective: EVOCATIVE.

 The ultimate example is the bomb track 'Belgian Congo': a post-rock piece where in the final minutes, the ‘song’ form is practically overturned.

Frodus' album 'And We Washed Our Weapons in the Sea' stands out as a deep and evocative blend of punk, math rock, and hardcore. Though the band disbanded in the late '90s, their DIY ethos and experimental sound make this album a valuable underground gem. The reviewer highlights tracks like 'Belgian Congo' and 'The Earth Isn't Humming' for their innovative qualities. This album deserves more recognition beyond its limited visibility in Europe. Dive into Frodus' evocative punk masterpiece and rediscover a hidden gem of the 90s underground scene!

 In the decade 2000-2010, it is one of the few albums I found with a SOUL.

 It’s not an album to listen to in the car or while cleaning the house, because this work will leave nothing with you.

The review praises Blacklisted's 2008 album Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God as a rare hardcore record that truly captures the pure spirit and soul of classic hardcore. It highlights the album's meaningful lyrics as its main strength, setting it apart from many modern releases. The reviewer appreciates the raw energy and authenticity that this album delivers in just 20 minutes. Overall, it is described as a gift to longtime hardcore fans and a beacon of hope for the genre’s future. Deathwish's role as a dedicated hardcore label is also emphasized. Explore Blacklisted's Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God and experience hardcore punk at its most genuine and powerful.

 The first track 'Define' in its 9 minutes represents for me the entire post-core-rock genre.

 When I listen to Bossk, the atmospheres of the aforementioned groups are somehow 'summed up' in one great, instrumental flow.

Bossk's .2 EP stands out as a compelling post-rock instrumental work, balancing simplicity and depth. Though short-lived, the band captured the essence of the genre. The track 'Define' beautifully encapsulates this flow, resonating with fans of Neurosis and The Ocean. Their brief career remains influential despite their disbandment. Listen to Bossk's .2 EP and immerse yourself in the ultimate post-rock atmosphere.

 There are 10 songs for 30 minutes of “music,” 30 minutes that are more than enough to knock the listener out.

 These madmen record their productions live with overdubs turned to the max, without any mastering: the result... is quite debatable, but there’s no doubt that here the devastation is real.

The Chariot's third album, 'Wars And Rumors Of Wars,' showcases their signature abrasive mathcore style with a raw, live-recorded sound. The 30-minute album packs a powerful punch with ten intense tracks that differentiate the band from typical polished metalcore productions. Although their concerts can be harsh and physically demanding, the album itself is a strong representation of the band’s unique approach. Fans of heavy music and those seeking something different from conventional metalcore will find value here. Discover the raw power and unfiltered energy of The Chariot's 'Wars And Rumors Of Wars'—listen now and experience mathcore like never before!
