New stuff (some older)!
Allegaeon - Extremophiles (B)
Technical Melodic Death Metal
I really loved their last album. It was a beautiful mix of melody, technical prowess, and brutality.
IZ*ONE - La Vie en Rose
Kpop
Most kpop fans here probably already know about IZ*ONE, but maybe I'll recruit some new blood. "La Vie en Rose" has one of the greatest pre-chorus drops ever, imo.
AliA - かくれんぼ
Jpop / Symphonic Rock
This song is incredibly pretty. Violin and piano mix in with it to give a symphonic feel paired with some powerful vocals.
GFRIEND - Flower
Kpop
If you like kpop and have heard GFRIEND, you probably know what to expect. They mix it up a bit, while keeping their vibrant sound.
Evergrey - Weightless
Progressive Heavy Metal
Probably their heaviest song in a decade. If you like melodic, progressive metal, you'll like Evergrey.
Sunmi - Noir
Kpop
The video for this song is perfect. It's a biting commentary on idol and internet culture. The song is beautiful and catchy too.
Deafheaven - Black Brick
Post-Black Metal
Deafheaven has a very melancholic and touching sound to them that still has that black metal aggression to it. It's hard to explain, but they're wonderful. They decided to go back to thrashy black metal with their latest single.
Inferi - Condemned Assailant
Technical Melodic Death Metal
I'm still trying to unpack the album this song comes off of. It's incredibly heavy, technical, and a complete aural assault.
Cherry Bullet - Q&A
Kpop
A debut group with a bubblegum sound. Their style sounds like newer AOA. It's a fun bop.
