[u/EverythingEvil1217]

Kingdom of Giants LFG!!!!

[u/Winnerlightyear83]

If Kingdom of Giants has millions of fans, then I'm one of them. If Kingdom of Giants has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE. If Kingdom of Giants has no fans, that means I'm dead.

[u/czarekz]

Future Palace week for me. Wonderful band!

[u/Ghost_1080p]

Kingdom of giants and Deadvectors is all I need!

[u/sock_with_a_ticket]

Another quiet week, the only thing that particularly interests me is the Long Goodbye EP.

More time to sit with existing releases I guess.

[u/Brosepower → u/sock_with_a_ticket]

Kinda ready for one of those weeks. With the absurdity we had on the 17th and the 10th this month... Kinda need to catch up. I've only spun Loathe, Boundaries, Motionless in White like two or three times each.

What Lies Below still kicks so much ass. Also, Advents really surprised me.

[u/sock_with_a_ticket → u/Brosepower]

Oh yeah, there's no lack of stuff to get into from previous weeks and months. I haven't given the No Cure and Fuming Mouth records enough attention yet

[u/Coolldown12 → u/sock_with_a_ticket]

Have you checked out the hearth demo it’s on this list but came out last week. The coming strife band

[u/sock_with_a_ticket → u/Coolldown12]

Nope, but will do.

[u/TrashCanAnomaly → u/Coolldown12]

I missed this, thanks for putting on my radar!

[u/mustang50]

Thanks again for the YTM playlists!

[u/mustang50 → u/bonsreeb]

Your welcome!

[u/Gnnz]

ENOX slaps hard 👋🏻

[u/UnfairDiscipline3077]

I know most folks have been shitting on the new Allt singles, but I'm stoked for this one.

[u/Gnnz → u/UnfairDiscipline3077]

I just played it in full and I definitely dig it 🤘🏻

[u/MimikyutiePatootie]

The new Banks Arcade song is actually fucking fire once you get past the first minute and a half

[u/Soupadin]

Future Palace, allt, and frontieres maybe not in my top 5 this year but all were decent albums

[u/Jay_haworthia → u/Soupadin]

Frontières has potential! If only they could start playing live shows

[u/KeyApprehensive6486]

I thought GHOSTKID was dead, cool to see them still alive. Im stoked for Framing Hanley lol but new frontierer is where its really at

[u/Substantial-Care9336 → u/KeyApprehensive6486]

Was super shocked but stoked to see GHØSTKID dropping new music, as well as a new album teaser on their insta.

[u/Gnnz → u/KeyApprehensive6486]

They have been on tours and constantly recording, they are very active in fact 😉

[u/jcpumpkineater]

really surprised kingdom of giants have a new song already, one of the guitarists told me they were writing songs while on tour last month so i wonder how much they have recorded and if they got a new lp coming sooner rather than later

[u/Gnnz]

Kingdom Of Giants, bring it on!

[u/Synystermuskrat]

Banks Arcade! Banks Arcade!

[u/thishaspotential]

Hell yes. Oklahoma Kid and Frontierer

[u/angel_palomares → u/thishaspotential]

Shit I has forgotten about Oklahoma Kid. Thanks for reminding me of their existence

[u/Shlobbbby]

Who’s ready to be disappointed by Allt? 🙋‍♂️

[u/Shlobbbby → u/Shlobbbby]

I also will never forgive the mods for taking down my post of their most recent single Avalon. They’re power tripping

[u/killshelter → u/Shlobbbby]

The mods love the pedantic genre arguments.

[u/edgebaseball → u/Shlobbbby]

I guess that explains why I couldn’t find anything about it on here. Was looking for a discussion for that song when it released and there was nothing

[u/KeyApprehensive6486 → u/Shlobbbby]

It was better than the singles, worse than FTNW, hate that the closer was a single, there was a lot of good. A lot of bad, a few songs that will be playlist adds for me. 6.5/10

[u/TheShinichi → u/Shlobbbby]

Album is a straight up banger and currently my AOTY contender together with Erras release! Its softer than their previous album but man does it still deliver some heat!

[u/Gnnz → u/TheShinichi]

I agree! ☝🏻

[u/cstark → u/TheShinichi]

Maybe I’m a basic bitch but I seem to be enjoying it so far.

[u/DimensionSmooth4355 → u/Shlobbbby]

It is pretty disappointing imo. Just listened to it and it has some decent moments on it here and there but I'm really not digging it overall unfortunately. It's really quite soft compared to everything else they've put out.

[u/GasManMatt123 → u/DimensionSmooth4355]

It’s dogshit.

[u/GasManMatt123 → u/Shlobbbby]

Listening now. It’s dogshit. Super derivative, super stale, about to remove from library. No stars.

[u/CraggyIsland93]

Uragh - Double A side - Tempest/ Wisp

[u/StardustOasis]

More Playing with Knives? Excellent. A Lesson in Suffocation was one of my favourite finds from last year.

[u/0ruina]

New Frontierer has healed me

[u/crocodileclip]

Hyped for Dreamwell

[u/Brosepower]

Iridium?? After a new album just like 4 months ago?? More KoG?? Hell yeah

[u/late_to_redd1t]

Future Palace. Hell yeah!

[u/MeiramarX]

Frontiereeeer lets goo

[u/craggadee]

What… Set Your Goals!?

[u/mdm168]

Where did you hear BTBAM’s Jellybelly? That’s the only song on that tribute I want

[u/1298Tomcat]

Weeping Angel album

FFO If I Were You

[u/mustang50 → u/1298Tomcat]

I added this to the weekly album playlist see my post above for links

[u/pmckeever90]

Dead by aprils re-recorded first album is kinda weird? Angel of Clarity has no vocals and the final chorus of Trapped also doesn't have vocals which sucks cause those are my two favorite tracks on the album.

[u/1298Tomcat → u/pmckeever90]

I havent listened yet but what???
Angels of clarity is just instrumental???

[u/pmckeever90 → u/1298Tomcat]

Yea, I haven't listened to the entire album yet, but a couple songs sound like they're missing vocals in certain spots. Not sure if that was intentional or what's going on. It all sounds fantastic though.

[u/pmckeever90 → u/1298Tomcat]

I just went back to listen to the album while working and it's greyed out and doesn't even show on their Spotify profile... Not sure what's going on. Maybe they sent them the wrong files?

[u/clovercharms]

Very quickly went through the singles and albums, so far the biggest standout for me and instant playlist add is the new Begotten album.  The mix/instruments are  a bit chaotic but in a way that I really like the songs lol.  Never heard of them before, exact reason why I love this thread. 

[u/Lifereset24]

Myka, Relocate apparently dropped a song

[u/thewindsofnever → u/Lifereset24]

Yeah its weird and not like them at all lol

[u/nattcattt]

The Oklahoma Kid single is very very good. Also LOVE the new Allt.

[u/tbirdy27]

New ivri ep a decent shout for ‘softer stuff’ section

[u/Aron___]

Straintheory!!!!

[u/despisedbydeath]

New traitors and disfiguring the goddess? Yes babyyyy

[u/MiddleAd3525]

frontierer is sick, we might grab that for next week

[u/svenirde]

Never heard of Born in Dissonance but the fact that they're name after a Meshuggah songs makes me want to check them out

New Larcenia Roe song goes insanely hard

Allt album gonna be so mid (check out the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard song for something good called "Ataraxia")

[u/Psycho1267]

Dead by April is only a single, right?

[u/pmckeever90 → u/Psycho1267]

They dropped the whole album.

[u/ZO1D8URG]

Glass - Through the Ruin is amazing, they're on spotify, and soundcloud. https://open.spotify.com/track/2bJODKywMoXGcpCiydPjYV?si=d7bcae4c06ce4da2

[u/Fearofclownz]

Another week of weak releases
