BACK WHEN - SWORDS AGAINST THE FATHER

This reminds me a lot of the band EXAMINATION OF THE... before they headed down the Neurosis-style route.

BLUE LETTER, THE - LOVE IS NOT CONTROL (COLOR)
In a time when the hardcore scene has been confined to breakdowns and guitar squeals; and fashion has seemed to become more important than ideas and music, The Blue Letter challenges stereotypes and genre boundaries with explosive textured soundscapes. Their music is passionate and dynamic, layered with hoarse screamy vocals and soft interludes. The Blue Letter has transformed in many ways since their first full-length, Prima Facie (Blood & Ink Records, 2007). Following the release and positive critical reception of their debut, founding members Dan Shebaylo (vocals, guitar) and Silas Zdybel (drums) left Sacramento, California to establish a new home in Richmond, Virginia where they met bassist and vocalist Brendan Artz. With a range of influences from mid-late 90's screamo bands to the post metal giants of today, The Blue Letter can be found somewhere-both sonically and geographically-between Envy and Cult Of Luna. Recorded by Chris Dowhan (Giant/Brave Young, Antlers, Becoming The Archetype, etc.) and featuring original artwork by Michael Repasch-Nieves (of Junius). Thirteen songs clocking at 75 minutes on two 12" vinyl records complete with a poster insert and colored vinyl to round out the package!

FERAL LIGHT - VOID/SANCTIFY
"Void/Sanctify" is the debut full length from Feral Light, and is quite a bit of a departure and vehicle of growth from their previous release, "A Sound of Moving Shields". Both lyrically and musically, it stretches across more boundaries while managing to still keep an overall cohesive aesthetic. Now being a two-piece, fronted by Andy Schoengrund (ex-Wolvhammer), the outfit can move more lightly and swiftly, keeping a raw energy while still producing a very tight, powerful, and at times oppressive wall of sound. Rooted in black metal, "Void/Sanctify" also nods to elements of post-rock, death metal, and black and roll. Lyrically it is a 180 degree turn from the war themed lyrics of the previous release, instead focusing more on an abstract, internal theme throughout the record. Pressing of 100 copies on black vinyl. FFO: Darkthrone, Wolvhammer

KEN MODE - VENERABLE
Known for effortlessly blending noise rock reminiscent of old-school Amphetamine Reptile bands with the raw and aggressive nature of modern hardcore, KEN Mode has become one of the most devastating bands in the underground, following suit in the lineage of forward thinking heavy music to come out of the Great White North - what you might hear if Voivod and Cursed had a baby that started a noise-rock band. Songs like "Batholith" and "Book of Muscle" cling to the traditions of hardcore music that resonate with fans of Converge or Trap Them while "A Wicked Pike" takes on spastic noise rock elements, and "Flight of the Echo Hawk" pushes forth as a mind-bending instrumental masterpiece, clearly influenced by the post-rock movement of the 2000s. "Venerable", the band's fourth full-length album was produced by Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE), mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side, and features layout by Josh Graham (NEUROSIS, RED SPAROWES). This vinyl pressing (CD available on Profound Lore) comes packaged in a deluxe gatefold jacket with alternate artwork from the CD version.

TOWERS - FULL CIRCLE
Since 2004 TOWERS has been one of the hardest working DIY hardcore bands, touring every inch of the United States, not to mention a good chunk of Canada, United Kingdom, and Europe. The band has released almost a dozen records, cd's, and cassettes; the majority of them being self-released, and the majority of them also selling out with absolutely no distribution In 2008 TOWERS only played a handful of shows around their homebase of Philadelphia, PA and took time to focus on writing and recording their sophomore full-length, and follow up to their self-titled debut CD/LP released on Electric Human Project/Turnstile. Summer 2008 the band entered the studio with Steve Roche (Off Minor) to record Full Circle, which is the band's greatest work to date. A great blend of technical and screamy intelligent hardcore. LP is a split release with the band's own label, Towering Sound.

WOMAN IS THE EARTH - THAW
From CVLT NATION: "As you can hear within the furious and shapeshifting knits of the song Dream Collapse Woman is the Earth cover much ground on this new opus of theirs, crawling in and out of light and shadow, and pushing their imagination across vast and ever-changing landscapes made of shimmering shoegaze and post-rock meadows and dreadful abysses of darkened punk and obsidian black metal. While "black metal" is the obvious word to use here, it is somewhat diminutive for a band like this one, who find their pathway and essence in constant change, duality, and ambiguity, always pushing forward to take the listener deeper into the unknown and beyond genres and tags. If you like bands as diverse as Oathbreaker, Wolves In The Throne Room, Fen, Converge, Hexis etc, then your heart will be stolen by this band." Limited pressing of 300 copies on blue/gold vinyl, this was released for the bands 2017 European summer tour, and these are the leftover copies - limited availability!

BATTLEFIELDS - AGASSIZ
After the release of their 2009 full-length, "Thresholds Of Imbalance", BATTLEFIELDS lost founding guitarist Andrew Wallin, and went on a brief hiatus from playing shows. "Agassiz" is the band's return to the trenches with two new members and a more sonically assaulting blackened blend of metal and hardcore. Agassiz blasts through six songs in under a half-hour, presenting a concept EP of the glacial lake Agassiz, whose dried up geographic location is where the band's base of operations lies. Fans of the band's previous work my be taken aback by the sheer force of this new material, with pummeling blast beats, but there is still the familiar sound throughout the EP that BATTLEFIELDS has perfected since it's conception in 2006. Agassiz lyrical content deals with when Lake Agassiz's ice dams broke and rose sea levels, destroying the old world, and setting up the new world for corrupt religious control. Featuring artwork and layout by Seldon Hunt.

BLINDING LIGHT - JUNEBUG
The long-awaited follow up to 2004's "Ascension Attempt". In 2005, while working on their follow-up sophomore album, the band played what would be their last show, and seemingly vanished into hiatus, with members focusing on other projects and bands. Flash forward to 2008 when Init Records approached the band members about a reunion show for the second annual Init Fest. The band played to a packed house and was well-received. The energy and excitement was in the air; THE BLINDING LIGHT had returned to the stage. In the midst of this all, the band finally brushed the dust off of their unfinished follow-up album, and proceeded to finish the album, marking their most monumental album to date, taking the bands sound to the next level; the final result, Junebug, has been highly anticipated by fans for years, often popping up as the subject on message boards and websites. Features breathtaking original artwork and layout by Aaron Horkey of Burlesque Design. Printed and packaged in a 100% recycled EcoPak digipak.

BLUE LETTER, THE - LOVE IS NOT CONTROL
In a time when the hardcore scene has been confined to breakdowns and guitar squeals; and fashion has seemed to become more important than ideas and music, The Blue Letter challenges stereotypes and genre boundaries with explosive textured soundscapes. Their music is passionate and dynamic, layered with hoarse screamy vocals and soft interludes. The Blue Letter has transformed in many ways since their first full-length, Prima Facie (Blood & Ink Records, 2007). Following the release and positive critical reception of their debut, founding members Dan Shebaylo (vocals, guitar) and Silas Zdybel (drums) left Sacramento, California to establish a new home in Richmond, Virginia where they met bassist and vocalist Brendan Artz. With a range of influences from mid-late 90's screamo bands to the post metal giants of today, The Blue Letter can be found somewhere-both sonically and geographically-between Envy and Cult Of Luna.

IN THE FACE OF WAR - LIVE FOREVER OR DIE TRYING
The third CD release from this Indiana hardcore band, showing lots of evolution from their previous attempts. With similarities to bands like GOOD CLEAN FUN and STRETCH ARM STRONG, this band has plenty of catchy youth crew sing alongs blended with both screamed and shouted vocals (their vocalist is also an ex-member of PHOENIX BODIES). This is also insanely positive - songs about staying young, friends, summer, playing hardcore, and being excellent to others and enjoying life. 11 songs, including a FOO FIGHTERS cover, in under 30 minutes.

NORTHLESS - LAST BASTION OF COWARDICE
Since the band's inception in 2007, Milwaukee's Northless has been at the forefront of all things sludgy, noisy, and misanthropic. Now in their tenth year, the band brings us their newest full-length, Last Bastion of Cowardice, in partnership with Gilead Media & Halo of Flies (vinyl), Hand of Death (tape), and Init Records (CD). Throughout the last decade, Northless has honed in on many of the darkest parts of the human condition as inspiration for their brooding, heavy dirges. Previous full-length albums Clandestine Abuse (2011) and World Keeps Sinking (2013) both touched on topics both intensely personal and universally identifiable, while this new record achieves a similar darkness by way of a conceptual narrative. Last Bastion of Cowardice tells a dark tale of revenge, sorrow, and redemption denied, as the protagonist learns the true wage of sin. To work in concert with these themes the band pushed sonically in many different directions to extremes previously unrealized by Northless. Dynamic, emotional, and expressive approaches are more varied than before through heavy nods to death metal, noise rock, and post rock. FFO: Neurosis, Swans, Eyehategod, Crowbar

ROSETTA - QUINTESSENTIAL EPHEMERA
Quintessential Ephemera, the new album from Philadelphia's post-rock/ambient, ROSETTA. Their first record as a five-piece, with Eric Jernigan (CITY OF SHIPS) on guitar and vocals. It was recorded and mixed at Machines With Magnets (BATTLES, THE BODY, BRAVEYOUNG) in Providence, and mastered by Colin Marston (of GORGUTS, KRALLICE, DYSRHYTHMIA) at The Thousand Caves in New York. Quintessential Ephemera is both existential and deeply hopeful. It has some of ROSETTA's moodiest work to date, but has an upward force to it that delivers an appropriate counterpoint to the darkness and nihilism of The Anaesthete. FFO: Isis, Neurosis, Frodus, Mouth Of The Architect NO EXPORT: Germany, Japan

The songs are crafted with guitar, bass, piano/keys, flute, melodica, vocals and drums.

SLEEPING IN GETHSEMANE - BURROWS
In the ocean of droning, doomy instrumental post-hardcore bands, SLEEPING IN GETHSEMANE breathes a fresh breath of air with their instrumental music, full of energy and life (and even the occasional non-mic'ed vocal scream here and there). Formed at the end of 2005 and influenced by their desolate surroundings of North Dakota's Great Plains, SLEEPING IN GETHSEMANE also took hints from bands like RUSSIAN CIRCLES and EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY while maintaining a level of energy and excitement, especially during their live performances, often lacking in instrumental bands today. SLEEPING IN GETHSEMANE transcends genres and fans, sharing stages with both the likely and unlikely. After achieving praise from regional press for their self-released debut CD, The Great White North, the band decided it was time to look for a label and focus on touring. Their follow-up album, Burrows, is a well polished collection of eight songs clocking in at 48 minutes, recorded in Minneapolis, MN at the Devil's Workshop (BATTLEFIELDS, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS). Printed and packaged in a 100% recycled EcoPak digipak.

TOWERS - FULL CIRCLE
Since 2004 TOWERS has been one of the hardest working DIY hardcore bands, touring every inch of the United States, not to mention a good chunk of Canada, United Kingdom, and Europe. The band has released almost a dozen records, cd's, and cassettes; the majority of them being self-released, and the majority of them also selling out with absolutely no distribution In 2008 TOWERS only played a handful of shows around their homebase of Philadelphia, PA and took time to focus on writing and recording their sophomore full-length, and follow up to their self-titled debut CD/LP released on Electric Human Project/Turnstile. Summer 2008 the band entered the studio with Steve Roche (Off Minor) to record Full Circle, which is the band's greatest work to date. A great blend of technical and screamy intelligent hardcore.

WOLVHAMMER - BLACK MARKETEERS OF WORLD WAR III
Black Marketeers of World War III is a textural, monolithic display of modern black metal. With styles ranging from 3 minute punk infused thrash jams, to 8 minute lush, blackened opuses, BMWWIII is bound to turn heads. The production credits to the record read like a who's who in modern heavy music. With Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium, Twilight, Minsk) at the board, Colin Jordan (Ministry, Yakuza, Pigface) handling mastering duties, and Stavros Giannopoulos (the Atlas Moth) in charge of layout and design, Wolvhammer clearly pulled out all the stops to deliver an overwhelming debut.
