This four-track offering is a hulking monster of death metal with bursts of violent grindcore mayhem. This next EP ( Danger) wasn’t timed to come out today, but you can still take advantage of the savings offered by this Bandcamp Friday, and hell yes you should take advantage of it. The song is the second single from a debut album named IX that will be released by Nuclear Blast next February. But on the other hand, the riffing generates a bleak whine, and the shimmery high tones give the music an eerie and ominous cast.Īnd so, the song is danceable and catchy, but kind of chilling too - and the video by Ash Pears amplifies the track’s unnerving qualities.
Yes, this band is composed of metal luminaries Greg Mackintosh and Nick Holmes but the music of their new endeavor, as represented in the song “ Hiding From Tomorrow“, is more in the vein of dark post-punk and New Wave than metal, with vivid bouncing beats and darting/glittering electronic pulses providing the drive for Holmes‘ gloomy clean-sung vocals.
As vivid proof of that, I’m leading off with… I also did try to provide some genre scatter in the choices, knowing that not everyone loves everything, and to provide a range of radar elevations among the bands. I can’t say I’ve waded through all of it to make your shopping experience easier (I’m only one bedraggled human and speed-cloning is a generation or two away), but I did make my way through some of it, and have these recommendations for you. On the plus side, I get to do something like this again on December 2nd!
When you combine a Black Friday with a Bandcamp Friday the result is a goddamned typhoon of new music and videos, with bands and labels not only launching sales but trying to take further advantage of the situation with new releases, some of them out today and some now up for pre-order.Ĭorrection: As Nic pointed out in a comment on the post following this one, Black Friday was NOT in fact a Bandcamp Friday, and now I’ve forgotten why I thought it was.
