Album Reviews
25 years and 8 albums later, Killswitch Engage delivers a full on metalcore album called ‘This Consequence’, out with Metal Blade Records. No surprises, just full on high-quality Killswitch Engage with their signature mix of emotion and brutality.

Architects = brutality on this album. They are back with the blegh and brutal breakdowns just the way we like it, but without completely forgetting their more recent sound and sense of doing things differently. Out vvia Epitaph Records.

Not too long ago, As I Lay Dying was back with a slab of solid metalcore songs on the new album ‘Through Storms Ahead’, released via Napalm Records. Just too bad it came surrounded with a bunch of negativity and an unsure future.

Last year, Holding Absence released ‘The Noble Art Of Self Destruction’, an album that left quite an impression on one of our writers, an album that tells a beautiful story on top of a bed of beautiful music. It is metalcore, but very melodic and not as heavy as you would think, released via SharpTone Records!

While She Sleeps can make music speak, even with no lyrics. What they’ve accomplished again on their latest album ‘Self Hell’ is truly beautiful. Out via Spinefarm Records.

At the end of last month, the Swedish metalcore legends Dead By April were finally back with their latest album ‘The Affliction’, another solid album that on the one hand surprises with some really cool collaborations with other bands and artists, but on the other hand doesn’t really bring in much new. If you’re a fan of the band, you’ll love this, though!

Ten56. released ‘Downer part.2’, filled with songs that have a metalcore sound with rap influences similar to Landmvrks. 20 years ago we had nu metal, and now we have something you could call the “nu metalcore” sound, a progression that most definitely will have its own share of fans. Released via Out of Line Music!
