Palisades and their brand new track better off kick off this week’s show.
Better is taken from the bands upcoming album reaching Hypercritical out July 22 2022
Check out the video for Better here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYnIWDuEzSI
Palisades online
https://www.facebook.com/WeArePalisades

https://www.instagram.com/wearepalisades/
A track packed with big hooks big chorus and plenty of riff and still has plenty of energy to the feel of the track, truly a stunning track one to crank up and scream that chorus out and head bang to the stunning riff.
Go and check this one out.
Next up Blacktoothed and their track Pulse taken from their upcoming album Juli out July 29 2022
Check out the video for Pulse here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxu2u-QZ7tM

I will be honest with you I was not going to review this track from Blacktoothed as initially It did not grip me, but as Pulse went on, I found myself finding the hidden gems of the track from the melodies to the hooks to raw power of the track met with some stunning production.
This one is defiantly a grower and may take a listen or two.
Next up are ThornHill and their track Hollywood taken from their upcoming album heroine out June 3 2022
Check out the video for Hollywood here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN2BH-a20Ec
Thornhill online

I love Hollywood as I can hear cues from Deftones, it has this atmospheric feel, and with thick bass lines and groves.
A soaring chorus with big soundscapes, this is the perfect track to kick and back and just relax I love it.

This really is nothing short of brilliant, packed with riffs high octane energy, plenty of grove
Great guitar breakdowns there is not much more to add apart from I love this and I hope you do go and crank this one up and have some fun
Moving over to our next band this week, Love sick Radio and there I need a little which is taken from the bands debut album love language out may 6 2022
Check out the video for I need a little here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Dna-qBKVA
A really nice upbeat track with a cool 70/80’s classic rock tones, this will be one for you if you love bands like Blackstone cherry, BlackBerry smoke, AC/DC.
As I’ve already mentioned it’s an upbeat track matched with a great set of vocals, packed with hooks in the chorus, a track to really tap your foot too some nice keys on the track too If you like a bit of piano, Go and check this one out

lastly this week are appeal to authority and their stunning single Black Aura
check out the video for Black Aura here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPbuA0FCqmg&t=250s
I really love cues this band take from bands like Tool and I felt like I was picking up a little bit of a system of a down vibe with the start to the track that may just be me.
I love how this track goes from strength to strength there are different layers being added weather that be more guitars or different vocals styles. Black Aura is not afraid to take different twists and turns whilst still delivering a track at 8.09 with plenty of grove some impressive guitar tones. Can’t wait to hear what’s next from these guys

MALEVOLENCE on broken glass taken from the new album MALICIOUS INTENT
Broken glass comes out the gates swinging.
So much energy to this track straight away riffs and some killer early tones
And then boom the energy intensifies a whole another level.
Packed with Riff and powerful hooks what a way to announce yourself to your new label.
If you like your music fast and heavy this is for you, I’m really not surprised when you have people like Matt Heafy of Trivium singing this bands praises, every word of praise is fully deserved, I cannot wait to see this band take over the British metal scene
Give this one a spin.
Check out the killer video for Broken Glass here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqoFbD1xVWM

Next up Silverstein and their new track ULTRAVIOLET
which is take from the upcoming album Misery Made Me 6 May 2022
Another track that carry’s plenty of energy and bounce sees Silverstein releasing their second single from their upcoming album Misery Made Me, I love this plenty of energy as I have said already some great hooks/melodies and tones as well some killer production.
Really looking forwarded to Misery Made Me as well as hopefully seeing them live at Slamdunk.

Next up this week sees the return of Crowbar to the show and their new single Bleeding From Every Hole which is taken from the bands upcoming album zero and below, on 4th March via MNRK Heavy
Check the video for Bleeding From Every Hole here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLAdKSKa4tk
This is one for anyone who loves their riffs slugy and with a chug like sound, to be honest it’s a track that despite giving it a couple of listeners I just could not connect, I like the thick opening bass line, and like I say if you’re a fan of slug then I think you will be a fan of the track let me know your thoughts on this one.

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0W2BpSvwuR2UPoOTd5xr5C
This was one that for me I felt it got stronger as it went on, if you a fan of the late Scott Weiland then I think this one is for you as it soaked in Stone temple pilots and Velvet revolver with hints of grunge.
Some very interesting choice of production here with a trumpet I think it works it’s a bold and an interesting move, I liked this and I want to hear me as it touches on bands I love.
Next up Sicksense and their new single Kings today
Check out the video for Kings Today here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWv8yR2o6Zc
Kings Today opens with an explosion of riffs killer production and some great vocal displays you have screams mixed with some rapping and then some melody which I love, these 3 vocal styles together really work well on the track. Whilst these vocals are ongoing added to the mix is this heavy riff matched to slap you in the face. A really cool and fun track keen so see where this bands goes next

lastly this week are Rain City Drive and their latest track Dreams

Dreams is a track that is so different to what I have already featured this week, it’s a slightly more of poppier sounding track with a lot of production, but yet it offers a really great feel plenty of energy and some killer hooks in the chorus and the guitar tones sound great.
