Over the past few weeks, a bunch of folks have been filling out brackets in honor of March Madness (though probably due to boredom) to pass the time, but with a twist. They’ve been ranking bands, genres and songs, and the results have sparked some fun conversation. Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 put his chips to […]

Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin Announce Collaborative Album 'Stygian Bough Volume I', Share New Song "Heaven Torn Low II (The Toll)": Listen
Back in 2017, the Seattle doom duo Bell Witch released the huge, immersive album Mirror Reaper — one single 84-minute track inspired by the death of former drummer Adrien Guerra.

Infant Island – “Content”
Infant Island absolutely rule. The Fredricksburg, Virginia band draws from late-’90s screamo to make an urgent, noisy, towering form of cathartically bugged-out basement rock. Earlier month, they released a towering EP called Sepulcher. That was the first part of a deluge. The second part will arrive next month, when Infant Island follow up their great […]
Land Of Talk – “Compelled”
Right now, for obvious reasons, a whole lot of artists are delaying their planned album releases. It’s tough, after all, to promote a new LP when you can’t tour. This morning, we already added Protomartyr to the list of artists whose albums won’t be coming out on time. Today, we’ve got another one for the […]
