Between the Buried and Me – The Blue Nowhere
Between the Buried and Me is a band for explorers. On The Blue Nowhere, the band continues the thread they began within the early years and weaves it in all instructions. There’s a definite industrial rock/steel vibe on sure songs, particularly with the settings on Tommy’s vocals. However as all the time, there’s the zany, outlandish sections that play like an epic rock opera. It’s the combo of the acquainted sudden we’ve come to depend on from these fashionable prog-metal heroes. Oh, and there’s plenty of moments the place the band’s metalcore tooth come out, recalling Alaska and the primary album. That all the time makes me completely satisfied.

Der Weg einer Freiheit – Innern
The newest from the introspective and contemplative storm of sound referred to as Der Weg einer Freiheit. That is the band’s followup to 2021’s Noktvrn. Innernis a flowing torrent of black steel power, however one which’s balanced in such a manner you possibly can hear every part clearly. The drums are dialed in significantly effectively right here, a blessing as some albums like this are chore to take heed to when the kick-drum is simply too loud. Oh, and much and plenty of riffs too!

Lethal defiance within the face of precise dying. Help!

Restraining Order – Future Fortune
And now for one thing utterly completely different. I’m a simple promote for something like this — principally a modernized, tricked out model of Destructive Strategy and Black Flag combined with Boston hardcore-vibes and 70’s arduous rock guitar leads. Nostalgic sufficient to hit the appropriate notes, however contemporary sufficient to make them really feel new once more.
