This band is so sexy. They're working on new material currently and I've heard a sneak peak! Their guitarist and I talked for a bit on duckcore, which resulted in him showing me some new riffs and a crazy solo. Honestly this band has such great guitarists so check them out.

This band never seizes to amaze me. This single sounds a lot different then their previous works, mainly because they lost their keyboardist (I have no clue what happened), and even though that was my favorite part they still manage to melt my fucking face off. whether it's the riffs in this song, the drums, or the sexy vocals, something has improved a shit ton. Although I enjoy there album "The Blackness" (here) more, this is still an amazing piece of work.

This is my personal iTunes purchase and there's a reason why I bought this. Honestly "The Blackness" is one of my, if not my favorite, albums. Not of a certain year, but of time. I'm a major fanboy when it comes to this band and I don't see anything wrong with that. I mean, just listen to that fucking preview song. It's so beautiful and get this, that's not even the best song off the album. "Devoid Of Light" has much more crazy synths and "Running In Circles" has better guitar. Definitely check these guys out; give them a like on facebook, buy their merch, and tell them we sent you ;).

Preview: "A Human Leftover"

Out Of Yesteryear is one of my absolutely favorite bands. This release was kind of like a broadcast of their talent and I believe the track "A Human Leftover" captures a lot of said talent. Although I prefer their newer releases, which strayed away from the more deathcore-ish sound, this is still a really solid EP. Go show this band some love on facebook.

This was Bailey's album of the month for January (the post is right here) and I noticed we didn't have a download.. Turns out I couldn't really find it anywhere, so I did the reasonable thing and purchased it myself.  We may be the first blog with this album (fingers crossed). These guys show a lot of potential and are definitely worth checking out.

This band is very... different. Some very nifty guitar work and they just got signed to Blue Swan Records (Owned by Will Swan of Dance Gavin Dance) and will have numerous guest vocals from big names like: Kurt Travis, Johnny Craig, and Tillian Pearson (Pretty much anyone who has sung for DGD) on their upcoming album, which is set to be released in March. Can't wait to hear what they present.

Album Of The Month - January 2013 (Travis)

Although not too many bands released an album this month, AOTM still proved to be a hard choice. I found myself drawn between two albums that are both tied, so without further adieu I present to you my Albums Of The Month choices.

Acrania
Album: The Beginning Of The End
Genre: Brutal Death Metal, Technical Deathcore
Facebook
Preview "A trophy to corporate disfigurement"

This was an EP I had been super excited for ever since I found their split EP. Turns out I liked their singers old band Hideous Miscreation (Who I may end up posting soon). The vocals are heavy, the guitars are heavy, the drums are heavy, this EP probably weighs two tons. The only issues I see in this EP are: 1, there isn't much material, new or old, but that's reasonable, it is just an EP, and 2, my favorite song by far was released as a single well before the actual album came out, and 3, they ended their pre-order bundle about 6 hours before I bought new merch </3. But anyways, definitely support these guys. I uploaded the EP right here.

The Beginning Of The End secures a 8/10

AND TIED WITH ACRANIA IS:

Fall City Fall
Album: Victus
Genre: Hardcore
Facebook
Preview: "Lovebirds"

Wow. This album is just such an improvement. I found these guys a long time ago on last.fm with their first EP. They have just gotten better and there is no wonder why they got signed to Victory Records (which is the reason this album will not be posted here). The vocals and lyrics have matured and they've made the album's sound diverse throughout the whole listen. Some songs will come at you very chaotic and give you a Dillinger Escape Plan feel, while others feel more like the song "funeralationship" from their last EP.

Victus scores a solid 8.5/10 for me.

I absolutely love this band, in fact I just ordered this EP's merch bundle complete with a poster of the sexy album artwork, a shirt that features the design, and you guess it, the EP. The vocals are very dark and overwhelming and the riffs never get boring. The album artwork also won best design over at Duckcore's Underground Metal Awards (which is the other blog I upload at..). Can't wait to hear what these guys do next. Hail Satan and smoke meth.
