2. Parkway Drive - Darker Still (New South Wales, Australia)
Genre: Metalcore Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/159qqlGwzE04xyqpfAwRLo?si=8zO6ge84R62p5QlBWIqqhw
Darker Still, McCall says, is the vision he and his bandmates – guitarists Jeff Ling and Luke Kilpatrick, bassist Jia O’Connor and drummer Ben Gordon – have held in their mind’s eye since a misfit group of friends first convened in their parents’ basements and backyards in 2003. The journey to reach this moment has seen Parkway evolve from metal underdogs to festival-headlining behemoth, off the back of close to 20 gruelling years, six critically and commercially acclaimed studio albums (all of which achieving Gold status in their home nation), three documentaries, one live album, and many, many thousands of shows.To understand that growth is to understand Darker Still, both musically and thematically. Those who thought they had Parkway Drive figured out – the unrivalled energy, the high-octane breakdowns, McCall’s trademark bark – need reconsider everything they know about Australia’s masters of heavy. Darker Still stands as the culmination of a transformative time that has seen Parkway reach new heights of creativity and success by eschewing the restrictive, safe conventions of genre and abandoning their own self-imposed rules in favour of a wide-eyed appreciation of bold new horizons. This is the Parkway Drive the band have been striving to be for two decades. Emerging from the darkness of the past few years, this is the true face of Parkway: redefined and resolute, focused in mind and defiant in spirit.

5. END & Cult Leader - Gather & Mourn (Split EP) (Salt Lake City, Utah)
Genre: Hardcore/Punk Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4MnX5gyPiIWEjQzvX54I8p?si=Ytf3iWFEQp6DT68FYeAzCw
END is a collection of musicians from various corners of extreme music, including current and former members of Counterparts, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Fit For An Autopsy, Misery Signals, Shai Hulud, and Reign Supreme. Initially conceived as a passion project by producer/engineer Will Putney, END has quickly built a reputation for their violent and destructive brand of hardcore/grind.

6. Flogging Molly - Anthem (Los Angeles, California)
Genre: Celtic Punk Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5kQGFREO5FzMBMsAO3cEtj?si=Quh07L7ZSQa_JSEWfRLddg
Flogging Molly are less of a band than they are a Transatlantic, Celtic-punk institution. Over the course of 25 years and thousands of shows around the world, Flogging Molly have transcended genres to become one of a very few bands that can literally share the stage with The Chieftains one day and Motörhead the next (this actually happened, by the way). For Flogging Molly’s seventh full-length 'Anthem', the band, which features married couple Dave King (vocals, guitar, bodhrán) and Bridget Regan (violin/fiddle, tin whistle, backing vocals), decided to get back to their roots and record 14 songs in 14 days with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies) at Electrical Audio Studio in Chicago. Atom Greenspan (Idles, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) mixed the tracks, and was also instrumental in both the sound and sequencing of Anthem.
Ultimately, there really aren’t any other bands like Flogging Molly who can transverse scenes from punk to folk so easily and the fact that there are now multiple generations of fans at the band’s shows is a testament to their continued relevance. All of which brings us full circle back to Anthem. The band—and the world—have been through a lot over the past few years and Anthem is much about the collective spirit we all possess that allows us to push forward toward the future.
7. Stray from the Path - Euthanasia (Long Island, New York)
Genre: Metalcore / Hardcore Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5tGG1slV9pkcydU5eQSIvm?si=TMwsXE5ESKypLS2Mo9rWeA
Stray From The Path have been unleashing their furious blend of hardcore aggression and outspoken socio-political lyricism for over a decade, striving to be the kind of band that can offer an entry point to both heavy music and radical ideas, and achieving an impressive level of longevity in the process. Now their latest album, Euthanasia, finds the NY/UK-based group in significantly darker territory.Rarely offering the listener a chance to catch their breath, Euthanasia rips through track after track of sinister riffs, gut - shaking bass, and powerhouse drumming that defies both reality and the seriousness of Reynold’s injury. Dijorio manages to sound unhinged throughout, while still providing genuine hooks amongst all of the aggression and no-punches-pulled lyrics. Many of the songs seek to shine a spotlight on elements of modern life that have become disturbingly normalized, like the insidiousness of copaganda, the predatory tactics of military recruiters in the United States (Chest Candy), or the unmitigated greed of major corporations. But Euthanasia doesn’t deal exclusively in vitriol. On mid-album standout Bread & Roses, the band teams with vocalist to stretch their creativity in a different direction. "This song was inspired by people, like Jesse, who do mutual aid work and make sacrifices in their own lives for the betterment of their communities," explains Williams.
8. I Am - Eternal Steel (Dallas, Texas)
Genre: Metal Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7dQNPdkq99QGiUIMmRjqur?si=FM--xe_RRSGxP7OrMIbCsw
Texas death unit I AM will release their Eternal Steel full-length September 9th via MNRK Heavy, today unveiling the record’s artwork, track listing, and first single! Brandishing a unique blend of furious thrash and death metal like a weapon of mass destruction, I AM is purely no-nonsense in their patented “Texas Death” assault. Armed with riffs, speed, and overwhelming power, “I AM writes songs that make you want to move” (Decibel Magazine). Across three full-length slabs of bludgeoning intensity and snarling rage, I AM put a Southern stamp and revitalized swagger into deathcore, a subgenre rarely as raw, energized, and diverse as this band. In the spirit of fellow Southern icons Pantera and newer Texan heroes Power Trip, I AM channels discontent and anger into empowering anthems, as likely to inspire a grueling workout as to incite the pit. Reminiscent of the combination of death metal heaviness and thrash metal speed found in the early catalog of Sepultura, I AM mines the heaviness of Morbid Angel and the dexterity of the Big 4 to create something groundbreaking of their own. Vocalist Andrew Hileman — who started the band in 2011– guitarists Tom Reyes and Chris Burgess, bassist Erik Rodriguez, and drummer Brandon Busa deliver their Texas Death in clubs, theaters, and festivals, with bands like The Acacia Strain and Kublai Khan. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Randy Leboeuf & EQ
