I've heard 'Tarot Cards' by saturdays at your place before, but nothing else. This record is fantastic so far, I am a big fan!
Spite House record has my ear the most so far (I’ve barely scratched the surface but still). Really likes their album from 2022 and this picks up right where that left off. RIYL Title Fight, Defeater, etc
Between the Buried and Me (The Blue Nowhere) -- Prog metalcore with some wild tangents. Maruja (Pain to Power) -- Very great, very eclectic post-rock, hip-hop, jazz, post-hardcore band. Album is very hard to describe in words, but I also find it very hard to put down. Der Weg einer Freiheit (Innern) -- Breath-taking, atmospheric, epic black metal. Acceptance (Phantoms/Twenty) -- Original is a classic for me. This has some slight variations with really nice guest vocals. Silverstein (Pink Moon) -- One of the best, most consistent post-hardcore bands. Really enjoyed the first part of this double-album, and I'm excited for the second part. The Sound of Animals Fighting (The Maiden) -- Experimental, progressive post-hardcore supergroup/collective do it again. Cartel (Chroma MMXXV) -- Rerecording/reworking of a very, very good pop-punk album. Punchline (Somewhere To Land) -- Pop-punk. These guys should be way more popular than they are. So many wonderful records. I See Stars (THE WHEEL) -- Metalcore with a heavy electronic bent. I can't believe it's been nine years since their last album dropped. Their last album surprised me by how much better I thought it was than their previous output. Hoping this one is just as good. Lorna Shore (I feel The Everblack Festering Within Me) -- Symphonic deathcore. I like these guys. Their vocalist is as talented as how hard I eyeroll when I read the album title. Nicolas Cage Fighter (I Watched You Burn) -- Metalcore. Honestly, I'm just checking this out because of the band name. It's a very good name. STARSET (SILOS) -- Dark, heavy-ish, electronic alt-rock. I like these dudes, but their albums are pretty bloated. Unaligned (A Form Beyond) -- Tech-death. King Princess (Girl Violence) -- Pop. Dance Gavin Dance (Pantheon) -- These guys seem like bad people. They try some different things on this one. Pretty good if you like DGD.
There's not been a better week for album releases for me in recent years. Parcels / Between the buried and me / Lorna Shore / SIlverstein are the ones I'll check first.
