As a long-time fan of Misery Signals, I am absolutely stoked for their newest album Absent Light. Using IndieGoGo to fund album creation – and all the fun perks that come with it such as a tour cycle and merchandise – the band doubled their campaign goal by raising $104,060 after everything was said and done.  And just today Basick Records announced they would be exclusively helping the band distribute the album throughout both the UK and Europe.

Indiegogo is great as it has provided a great opportunity for individuals to bring their ideas and creativity to fruition outside of traditional distribution markets such as record labels. Similar to Protest The Hero, Misery Signals has now hopped on board with IndieGoGo and with great success.

The ever eclectic and forward thinking Myriad Records have announced their signing of Belleville, Illinois based metalcore band HeavyArms. Bringing to mind bands such as Underoath, Misery Signals, Within The Ruins and Architects, Heavyarms are set to release their debut album Burning Crowds via Myriad on April 29th. You can stream the band’s new track ‘Boundless‘ below:

With a signing to Southern Lord and members list that includes stints in Trap ThemShai HuludMisery Signals and, of all things, Fallout Boy, it’s probably fair to say that Enabler have a pedigree. And while the idea of a ‘supergroup’ tends to bring out the cynics in flocks, upon first listen of their new album All Hail The Void it’s hard to deny that they do themselves justice. Comprised of crusty, metallic hardcore that seats itself in the same school of ‘Entombed-core’ as bands like All Pigs Must Die and the aforementioned Trap Them — it’s exactly the kind of violent aural massage I needed to start this week and you can catch the full album stream too over at BlowTheScene.com before it drops tomorrow!

Maybe it’s because I like to search and hunt, or maybe it’s because I have absolutely no life at all, but every month or so, I like to go on these “Bandcamp Hunts”.  It’s where I check Bandcamp and go through the first few pages of the metal section and download everything that is both free and appealing to my interest.  During this month’s hunt, I discovered French hardcore band Stillborn Messengers, and their EP Sightless, which was released on May 1st.

Their official Facebook page says they are influenced by bands like Periphery, After the Burial, and Misery Signals, and while I do hear a bit of that, I also hear more influence of bands such as Of Legends and Veil of Maya [I'd contend that this band brings to mind early Dillinger Escape Plan at times! - JR] This band does have a great mesh of djent, hardcore, and metalcore, however, with frantic drums, memorable guitar riffs, and intense vocals. Their self-released EP is an all-0ut assault on the eardrums, and it’s completely free of charge. You can download their EP at Bandcamp and listen to the player below, and the band has released this EP for however much you wish to pay for it. So be sure to give them a little money if you can, as I would love to see these guys be successful.

Wretched’s new album Son of Perdition creeped up on me, quite honestly. Death Metal is not my typical forte’ and I’ve been obsessed with Meshuggah most recently. That is until I heard Wretched’s new single ‘Repeat, The End Is Near’. This song quite effectively reignited my lust for blast beats and shreds, and I began spinning Beyond The Gate in anticipation of their new work. I thoroughly enjoyed their previous work, and since then my aural skills of all things heavy have matured. As a result, I found my-self enjoying Beyond The Gate more then when I had first listened to it. By this point my expectations had peaked high for Son Of Perdition.

Volumes – The Concept of Dreaming

Volumes

The Concept Of Dreaming

01. Two-One
02. Wormholes
03. Through the Trees
04. Starstruck
05. Intake
06. Gateways

This review has been a long time coming, and I wish I had gotten to it sooner. But with a full-release scheduled for this year, a late review of their EP will suffice for the anticipation.I first discovered Volumes after hearing them referenced in our Elitist review from a commenter named Tom. After hearing a few songs on their myspace page, I was hooked. I eagerly awaited their EP, and when it finally arrived I must say I was definitely satisfied.
