Future Palace - Resurgence (2026)


Future Palace continue refining their mix of melodic metalcore, electronic atmospheres and emotional post-hardcore on Resurgence. The production is massive, Maria Lessing delivers another strong performance, and the best songs combine catchy choruses with genuinely heavy breakdowns.

The formula remains predictable, with quiet verses, electronic tension and explosive choruses appearing throughout most of the album. Still, the band executes it with enough energy and conviction to make the repetition less damaging. The heavier sections hit harder than before, while the melodic moments are immediate without becoming completely generic.

Resurgence does not reinvent modern metalcore, but it is a polished, consistent and emotionally effective album. It lacks originality and occasionally feels calculated, yet its strong vocals, accessible hooks and improved aggression make it one of Future Palace’s more convincing releases.

Bring Me The Horizon - Count Your Blessings | Repented (2026)

I appreciate what this re-recording accomplishes because it finally gives these songs the sound they always deserved. The production is bigger, the performances are sharper, and the riffs hit with far more authority than they did on the original release. The youthful aggression is still there, but it's delivered with much greater precision. Where it loses me is in the writing itself. Most of the songs are built around the same formula of fast riffs, blast beats and breakdowns, and after a while they begin to blur together. The constant intensity creates excitement in the short term, but it also leaves very little room for tension, contrast or memorable climaxes. Instead of building toward defining moments, the album often feels like one long sustained assault. I also miss a stronger emotional dimension. The anger is authentic, but it rarely evolves into something deeper or more affecting. That makes the record easy to admire for its energy and execution, yet harder to connect wit...
