These metalcore Swedes from Stockholm reached out to inform early this year they have shot an official music video for the song "Earth Destroyer" which is featured on the band's second EP titled "Enigmas". SET BEFORE US, formed in 2012 in the suburbia of Sweden's capital city are currently holed up in the studio for the recordings of their third release and debut full-length. With this five-some we're not really into uncharted waters but the dudes deliver some solid melodic metalcore as it should be played and without the superclean vocals, frills and lot of electronic shit newer bands throw in the mix. Did we say the Swedish melodic death metal hints sound more SWEDISH here than what you hear in other metalcore music? Watch now the video for the song "Earth Destroyer" https://youtu.be/79p8gn-qtlk and stream the EP in its entirety off their bandcamp https://setbeforeus.bandcamp.com/album/enigmas
Got first introduced to this band thanks to a show aired in the 90's on the late Video Music channel and titled INDIES. Attilio Grilloni, the host, was using big words to present this hot new band from Brooklyn, New York named LIFE OF AGONY and debuting on Roadrunner records with the album "River Runs Red". When the video of the song "This Time" kicked off...baam! How couldn't the host be more right about LOA? Their music just blew me away big time -that break at around 1:24 to 1:38 and the song speeding up into the 1st chorus "You said, "I've got time"But you ain't got time for me" is just freaking awesome. The best mix ever of heavy doomy metal and melodic hardcore. Watch the video for "This Time" and discover more on this band if you're newby to the 90's so called alternative metal scene https://youtu.be/_HnDVKiWDYM

The post-metal soundtrack for those wanting to slow-down, seat-back and relax while reflecting on time and life in general... summer is dead, summer is gone! Enter the eye of the storm with post-metal trio STONEBIRDS and their new song "Animals", streaming now on The Obelisk.net -but we wanted to have you the chance to stream it on GAN as well. Their second full-length, titled "Time", is due out on October the 20th. Qualified as "55 minutes’ worth of progressive heavygaze fluidity" by The Obelisk, new album "Time"confirms the unique, juggernaut brand of post-metal matured on STONEBIRDS' Pink Tank Records debut "Into The Fog...", and their ability to write deeply emotional and complex songs. Once again recorded at Kerwax Studio, the atmospheres on the album get considerably heavier and darker, while relying on spine-chilling atmospheric climaxes. Living up to expectations rose by their debut effort, STONEBIRDS deliver an ambitious, pre-apocalypse worthy full-length that establishes them as a singular voice in the heavy music landscape.
Hey! UK's GBH has a new record comin' out this November the 17th on Hellcat records.
The title track doesn't disappoint, I mean it's GBH-ish, perhaps, a bit polished (definitely sounding tight and good), but we're in 2017, right? Do you still wish the band to sound as rancid as back in the 80's?
Sao Paulo's QUESTIONS have a video up for the very first song sung in their own language -Portuguese. Perhaps, it's hard or immpossible for you to understand the lyrics but the song truly kicks some arses.

"We hope to have created something people can connect to." says vocalist Geoff Lagadec. "It's pretty eclectic, just a bunch of stories in different styles. We keep trying to evolve, yet stay grounded in a punk/reggae aesthetic."
