New Music 9/14

Date: September 14, 2015

Here is the new music for this week:

Atreyu - I would Kill, Lie, Die For you

This new Atreyu album is a serious return to their original sound that made them big in the first place. This is the first album that they released since they broke up and got back together, and they wanted to make sure that they were making music that they really believed in again.

RIYL: Bullet For My Valentine, Killswitch Engage, All That Remains

Reflections - Amulet

Whenever a band has a name of "plural one word-noun" (ex: Reflections, Volumes, Structures, Monuments, etc) you pretty much know how they're going to sound. Reflections is one of the biggest bands in the plural one word-noun djent scene today, and this album feels hevaier than anything that they've done before.

RIYL: Volumes, Structures, After the Burial

TesseracT - Messenger

Easily one of the most influential bands in the progressive djent scene. They've switched to a mostly clean singing style, compared to their mix of both in previous albums, but fans and critics did not complain at all.

RIYL: Periphery, Textures, Veil of Maya

Stratovarius - My Eternal Dream

Stratovarius have been heading the symphonic/power metal movement for a while, with very little change in their sound. Its crazy to think that they've been a band since the early 80s, but their staying power has been incredibly impressive.

RIYL: Eguy, Avantasia, Gamma Ray

Unbroken - And
Old school, California hardcore who are considered one of the most influential acts in the more punky, California hardcore scene. This was originally intended to be released when they were a band in 1994, but now it is being released with them having a much bigger following than they ever did.

RIYL: Chkehold, 108, Morning Again

Of Feather and Bone - Ignore Their Remorse

Coming from a really up and coming Denver scene (Primitive Man and Call of the Void) Of Feather and Bone have really been picking up steam lately. Their music is in the vein of of the more beat down hardcore like Nails.

RIYL: Nails, Axis, Cult Leader

White Widows Pact - The Landlord

An incredibly heavy metalcore/hardcore band, right from Brooklyn, NY. The singer, Dave, also sings in Primitive Weapons and is the co-owner of the St. Vitus Bar, so he is an incredibly prominent member in the New York metal scene.

RIYL: Meek is Murder, Gaza, Tiger Flowers
