A super lo-fi but extremely compelling submission from Those Darn Gnomes (featuring members of Pyrrhon), avant-garde mathcore from San Diego. Quite the ensemble was utilized for this one.

Dirty submission from Falter, heavy hardcore from Milwaukee.

Submission Sunday - 10/30/16

Submission Sundays started as just a chain of posts on the last Sunday of every month, rounding up our favorite user-submitted releases or releases we unearthed ourselves over the course of that month. However, I felt it would be more effective to simply group all these bands into one article for your convenience and listening pleasure. This time I've narrowed it down to 10 highlights, all of them released within the last few months

~

First up, Sundrainer, from Richmond, Virginia. 

FFO: As the Sun Sets, mathcore / techgrind

~

Our next submission is a nasty one, Joy, from North Carolina. Thanks to Nick Schultz for recommending this one.

FFO: Nails, Full of Hell, Lamplighter, Grim State

An incredible submission from Mothman, "Answers to No One," which a pummeling 20 track assault of techgrind/mathcore, and by far one of the most exciting releases this year.

Screeching, grinding madness from Munt, from Melbourne. Sick highs and insane blast beats with the occasional hardcore breakdown or 2-step, because why the fuck not?



~

Super sick stuff from undō, noise / grind from Oakland. Big ups to my good friend Quade Ross for recommending this one.
