Welcome to 2022. A new year. And new content. And with this new year comes one of the most exciting releases to grace the year's already thriving music scene, and that's Underoath's  long awaited album "Voyeurist" . An album that shows the band's return to form in heavy music while also keeping in tone with sounds from the rock world that the band has already dipped their toes in in the past with their 2018 release "Erase Me" which signaled off a brand-new era filled to the everlasting brim with creativity and enthusiasm that had been missing for quite some time. And, with that creativity and enthusiasm we see the band continue down the road of heavily electrified industrial madness with the heaviness of past releases cultivating in one singular package. What's fascinating about "Voyeurist" is that it's boldness to create an atmosphere that's so different yet so familiar is something that yes has been seen in the past, is now ta

The spirit of 90's post-hardcore lives on through the scene's newest band Party Program . A carefully crafted project made up of members of ex-Empty and Dull Mourning. The band are breaking down walls with their most recent single "The Body, The Effigy" from recently released ep "These Are Just Songs, Thank You" . The track like the ep itself is a strong display of honest and powerful post-hardcore with a hint of the 90's and the Seattle scene mixed in for good measure. The band has allowed us to premiere the new single, so we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. The new ep "These Are Just Songs, Thank You" is available now on all major streaming platforms.

So, here  we are now in 2022 and the scene is potentially getting one of the biggest reunions that we have seen in a very long time.  The Birmingham, AL southern metalcore vets Maylene and The Sons of Disaster have always been a hot ticket band for reunion requests and rumors since their abrupt hiatus in 2016 due to the terrible ATV accident that struck front man Dallas Taylor, which understandably put him out of commission for a very long time, dealing with multiple life-threatening health struggles that should have taken the singer's life. But like John Jacobs himself he stood strong and kept on fighting. Well,  it seems like the wait for an official MATSOD reunion is starting to become a reality as recent photos and videos have shown up with Dallas Taylor, former Underoath band mate Octavio Fernandez, as well as other former members of Maylene performing for what seems like a new music video, as well as different videos of recordings with Dallas Taylor bringing back his signatur

So here we are. At the tail end of yet another year full wild and unforeseen circumstances that challenged us in more ways than one. And, as we cap off yet another year of music that excelled in so many ways, none was more prominent than the album release. So, without further a deux here is a list of the best albums of 2021.                                                                                                                                                                                                    25: Eidola - "The Architect" "Eclectic, immersive, and overwhelmingly impactful. Swan-core's Eidola shines through with some of the heaviest and creative post-hardcore that the year was shown. Soaring with technical and beautiful hooks, exquisite guitar structures, and an incredibly poignant narrative that you can sink yourself into. "The Architect" is a beautiful experience that you can immerse yourself into time and time again." - Samuel

As 2021 rushes to the finish line and caps off yet another year of wild circumstances, we have to address the greatness that has come from the year's music and art and that is in the form of EP's. Along with albums 2021 has seen some incredible ep's that in some ways rival full length releases. So, without further a deux here is a list of the best EP's of 2021.                                                                                                                                                                                                    10: Structures - "None of The Above" "Technical blistering and emotive djent driven post-metalcore comes back with a vengeance with the first release in six years from Structures with "None of The Above", as they strike hard with some of the heaviest music that the band has to offer, From the dirty 'Planet of Garbage'. to the riff fest 'Psycho Hours'. to the masterfully punishing 6
