If you are, or you’re aspiring to be a metal head, you know the band Kylesa. Formed in Savannah, GA in 2001, “Descend Within” is from the band’s debut self-titled album. Known for their many interpretations of metal, “Descend Within” was laid down on a day the band felt like stoner-rock and math-rock sound awesome together, and they do.

Here’s some pissed off raging metal emo-core from Are Those Your Friends. These boys are from Germany, but it sounds like they’ve been living on the Warped Tour bus for tens years. “Unleash The Fury” they suggest.

Is it just me or does the lead singer of Freedom Hawk sound like Ozzy, post Black Sabbath? You know I like my metal heavy, big and gnarly, with lots of gnarls. Wussified cookie monster child’s play this is not. On the very totally baddass Small Stone Records label. Go forth and bang thy head.

From the seething cauldron of culture and politics that is Berlin, comes one blistering hardcore metal band called Final Prayer. The single “Final Hour” flies completely off the chain. Ferocious grinding total metal mayhem. According to their blurby on IODA Promonet, Final Prayer’s music is “inspired by life in Berlin — a city that has inspired all forms of political opposition ranging from the early workers movement to anti-fascist resistance to student uprisings in the 1970s and todays attempts to reclaim the city from becoming another boring, fully commercialized hipster town.” Well now. That’s something to rage about. These guys tour all over Europe and rock very hard with cookie monster.

Things To Do When You Should Be Dead Anyway is the debut full length from Virginia’s FORENSICS, who play a monolithic, mountainous brand of heavy guitar-driven rock. “Boat Day At The Marina” is designed to make you scowl and bang your head while beating on your steering wheel. Part hardcore, part math rock, part prog-metal, this group crafts songs with zero genre discrimination.
