EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Black Nail - "The Air Was Perfectly Neutral"

Bust out your whitebelts: it's MySpace time. Remember the glory days of skinny jeans and abundant breakdowns? That time has returned, my friends. As of late, a new wave "scenegrind" has taken the world by storm, and Black Nail are the cream of the crop. Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, the four piece recall the screamo-injected heaviness and chaos of bands like Me and Him Call It Us, Hayworth and more recently, newer bands like Gif From God, Vein, and SeeYouSpaceCowboy.

*Black Nail are to release a split with Tweak later this year

EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Hibagon - "Orogenesis" / "Lamantino"

Like polyrhythms? Like instrumental math metal? Italy's Hibagon are here, and they've brought the weird. Today we have the pleasure of premiering not one but TWO songs from their upcoming album, "Polyposmic," which is to be released May 12th. The first song, "Orogenesis," is a palindromic 3 minute heavy epic with an almost Ravel like attention given to subtle variation in the main riff. The 2nd track, "Lamantino," is based around a Latin groove that starts spooky and gradually crescendos into a chaotic variation of the main motif.

Volume 3 Artist Listing

We are proud to finally reveal the artist listing to our third compilation, which is to be released via Bandcamp April 28th. Artwork by Karl Frandsen / Frandsen Art, layout by Tamás Bakó / APBT, and original logo by Keith Carlson / Headbang 'n Buttonmash. Special thank you to SKiN GRAFT Records and Throatruiner Records.
