The Ditch and The Delta, We Rust (Gypsyblood, 2015)

Imagine, perhaps, Neurosis as a stripped down, sludgy math rock outfit.

Anchord, Anchord (Saltamarges, 2014)

A stellar fusion of emo, melodic hardcore, and hints of pop-punk from Girona, Spain.

Various Artists, Rock 'n' Roll Rebels & The Sunset Strip: Volume 1 (Eönian, 2015)

Four CDs, 36 bands, 72 tracks, and nearly five hours of obscure and underrated glam metal/hard rock!

Haemophagus/Subjugation, Split (EveryDayHate, 2015)

Vicious underground death metal from Italy and Turkey, by way of Polish label EveryDayHate.

Red Vienna, The Book of Hours (Locust Hail, 2015)

Will a wider audience finally catch on to Red Vienna's unique post-punk with a shoegaze edge?

No Way, Sing Praises (More Mutant Music, Inc., 2014)

Brooklyn, NY quartet cranks out unexpectedly sludgy noise rock.

Corrosion, EP (Mas-Kina, 2015)

American/Norwegian progressive extreme metal outfit has far more to offer than one might expect.

Further proof that Finland is still a hotbed for top-notch metallic hardcore.

Nesseria, Fractures (Throatruiner, 2014)

French outfit returns with increasingly dark and dissonant grinding "metalcore" fury.

Unearthly Trance, Ouroboros (Throne, 2014)

Two-hour, two-disc compilation of vinyl-only rarities spans 12 years of sludgy darkness...

Raw Blow, Slow Choke (Social Cancer, 2014)

An excellent 10 minutes of punkishly emo-tinged grungy post-hardcore whatever-you-want-to-call-it...
