 Bloom The Ego was definitely a pleasant surprise.

 The quintet’s desire to seamlessly blend their metal-oriented DNA with melody shines throughout the album.

Bloom The Ego by Ultima is a standout progressive metal album that masterfully blends djent aggression with melodic songwriting. The band evolves from their earlier metalcore roots to create a complex yet rewarding listening experience. Tracks vary in intensity and atmosphere, showcasing vocal dualism and diverse sonic landscapes. Fans of intricate metal with emotional depth will appreciate this release. Listen to Ultima’s Bloom The Ego and experience progressive metal that balances power and melody like never before.

 This trend of getting to work on a remake is simply a waste of time, unless... true artistic projects like Me First And The Gimme Gimmes.

 My question, in the end, always remains the same my dear Sunset Radio: Why?!

Sunset Radio's Youth Roots EP features covers of influential pop-punk tracks with notable guest artists and high production standards. However, the reviewer questions the necessity of the EP, feeling it lacks personal or risky interpretation. While fans will likely enjoy the quality, the project feels safe rather than innovative. Discover Sunset Radio's take on iconic pop-punk songs and decide if their Youth Roots EP resonates with you!

 "Bestias is certainly the most successful example of the entire batch, featuring a representative name of the current scene, Alex from Malevolence."

 Including something entirely unrelated, such as a ballad, is a youthful error but doesn't undermine the final result.

Next Time Mr. Fox's Babylon EP presents a bold evolution from their prior work, mixing metalcore with hardcore influences. The standout single "Bestias" features Alex from Malevolence and sets the tone for the EP. While some stylistic risks, such as including an unrelated ballad, feel out of place, the overall effort is successful and promising. The band explores new sounds while maintaining their core identity. Discover Next Time Mr. Fox's dynamic Babylon EP—listen now and explore their bold metalcore journey!

 This seems to have happened also to Between Changes And Me... eager to make their proposal as appealing and captivating as possible.

 BeCoMe shows us a band still unripe in terms of style but equipped with good ideas and a team... to ensure the project can grow in the short term.

Between Changes And Me's debut album 'BeCoMe' delivers eight catchy tracks with good production and medium-high compositional quality. The band's attempt to blend rock, pop-punk, and core styles results in a mixed listening experience that lacks stylistic cohesion. Standout tracks like 'Saturday Night's For Fighting' and 'Still' highlight this diversity but also the band's indecision. The reviewer suggests the band focus more on rock to carve a unique space in the Italian music scene. Discover Between Changes And Me's debut 'BeCoMe' and explore their blend of rock and alternative sounds today!

 "A personal vision of society and human weaknesses, such as depression, anger, pain..."

 "If you are used to testing new releases made in Italy in an alternative key, this could be a pleasant surprise!"

Tonight We Stand's 'New World Disorder' marks a strong debut blending core music with melodic, metal, and clean vocal elements. The band explores emotional themes like depression and anger, showcasing potential despite some uneven tracks. Collaboration with Lucas D'Angelo enhances production quality. A refreshing release in the Italian alternative metal scene. Listen to Tonight We Stand's 'New World Disorder' and explore a fresh take on Italian metalcore!

 JX Arket is a decidedly interesting project with yet-unexpressed potential.

 The band offers the best of itself, creating energetic tracks that nod to artists like Underoath and A Day To Remember.

JX Arket’s debut album 'About Existence' presents a cohesive but uneven mix of metalcore energy and experimental post-rock elements. The band shows clear potential, especially in their intense, core-driven tracks resembling artists like Underoath, but struggles to fully integrate their melodic and experimental ambitions. Vocals mix screamo with well-crafted melodies, lending diversity to their sound. The album feels strongest in its frenetic moments while some experimental passages feel less connected to their core identity. Listen to JX Arket’s 'About Existence' to discover a fresh metalcore act experimenting with new sounds.

 A Part Of Us accomplish the not so obvious task of not disappointing expectations, delivering a result that is certainly not thrilling but definitely worthy.

 The main theme addressed in the lyrics is interesting, based on today’s society now founded on technology and being 'Social' 24 hours a day.

A Part Of Us' album 'Different Stories On The Same Road' delivers a solid and consistent melodic hardcore experience. Featuring energetic rhythms and catchy choruses, it meets genre expectations without breaking new ground. The lyrics thoughtfully discuss modern social media influences. While not thrilling, it is a worthwhile listen for fans of the style. Listen to A Part Of Us' latest album and explore fresh melodic hardcore with social edge now!

 The emphasis placed on the lyrics tips the scales in their favor.

 Neither manages to convey that adrenaline typical of live shows within their tracks.

Neither's album The Abyss blends a heavy hardcore sound with strong protest themes centered on marine activism. Though not revolutionary in sound, the band introduces fresh guitar work and delivers intense energy reminiscent of live shows. Their lyrics stand out, giving the album depth and purpose. Overall, a convincing and impactful release for fans of heavy, message-driven music. Listen to Neither's The Abyss and experience powerful hardcore music with a meaningful message.

 "A situation of discomfort due to the ferocity of the offering, a lack of oxygen that over time annihilates, destroys."

 "Five tracks for a scant fifteen minutes of hatred. The best way to define today’s 'Black Friday,' in short."

Peste's self-titled debut mini delivers a powerful fusion of hardcore and black metal influences. With members from notable bands, they channel misanthropic themes and a raw, intense sound. The album's 15 minutes of ferocious energy and sharp lyricism evoke discomfort and destruction, making it a compelling listen for fans of heavy music.
