No Cure - It Is Going To Get Dark (2026)

Image
No Cure deliver 33 minutes of metallic hardcore, death-metal riffs, breakdowns and relentless aggression on It Is Going to Get Dark . The performances are intense, the production is suitably crushing and the album occasionally becomes genuinely vicious. Unfortunately, most tracks rely on the same chugging riffs, shouted vocals and predictable breakdowns. The death-metal elements add some variety, but not enough to prevent the songs from gradually blending together. The constant brutality also becomes numbing rather than exciting. It is a competent and energetic record with a few strong moments, but it rarely moves beyond the established metallic-hardcore formula. Effective in short doses, yet too repetitive and limited to remain memorable. Pros Convincingly heavy production Energetic and committed performances Some effective death-metal passages Cons Repetitive songwriting Excessive dependence on breakdowns Very little melodic or emotional variety Genre : Deathcore Country : US Final V...

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

Image
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...

The Acacia Strain - You Are Safe From God Here (2025)

Image
"You Are Safe From God Here" finds The Acacia Strain operating at full force—dense, unforgiving, and intent on forging a bleak sonic sanctuary.  The band blends their classic breakdown-heavy deathcore/metalcore riffage with new sludge and doom textures, making the record feel both brutal and expansive. Vocalist Vincent Bennett delivers his rawest, most commanding performances to date, backed by thunderous rhythm and crushing riffs that feel engineered for impact.  Thematically the album addresses human burdens, “God” as both literal and metaphorical ruler, and a place of refuge from life’s oppressive forces—hence the title. While production and sheer intensity may deter some listeners, for fans of heavy music done with purpose this album stands out as one of the band’s finest so far.  Genre : Deathcore Country : US Final Verdict : 65% (Good Album) Yearly Ranking : 282th / 780 Highlight : ACOLYTE OF THE ONE Made me think of: Fit for an Autopsy Harms Way Thy Art Is Mur...

Lorna Shore - I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me (2025)

Image
I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me is a ferocious, ambitious statement from Lorna Shore that seems to push death-core toward grander, more cinematic horizons. From the thunderous opener “Prison of Flesh” to the epic closer “Forevermore”, the album builds a wall of orchestration, blast-beats, guttural vocals, and melody that rarely eases its foot off the throttle. The symphonic layers and harmonic leads (especially on tracks like “Oblivion” and “In Darkness”) add emotional weight and theatricality without diluting the aggression. Some reviewers argue its length and formulaic elements risk repetition, yet when the band hits their stride, the impact is undeniable. In sum, this album doesn’t just reaffirm Lorna Shore’s place in heavy music—it challenges the boundaries of the genre itself.

Psycho-Frame - SALVATION LAUGHS IN THE FACE OF A GRIEVING MOTHER (2025)

Image
Psycho‑Frame’s debut is a feral rebirth of deathcore — high-speed blast beats and chugging brutality are injected with tech-death flair and razor-sharp riff dynamics. The album resists genre stagnation, with disco-caliber drum patterns and polyrhythms that nod to The Dillinger Escape Plan’s chaotic mastery. Tracks like “Blueprints for Idol Genocide” and “Inverted Spear of Heaven” deliver viscous breakdowns and precise aggression, yet “Neuro++Terror” showcases their growing adventurousness. Critics praise its lean runtime and relentless fury, while still allowing space for occasional breathing room and songwriting growth. It’s an uncompromising, fun, and meticulously executed return to deathcore’s most primal strengths.

Shadow of Intent - Imperium Delirium (2025)

Image
Imperium Delirium sees Shadow of Intent forging a masterful fusion of crushing deathcore breakdowns and razor-sharp symphonic death metal precision. The album opens with relentless fury and grandeur, blending technical riffs, bludgeoning drums, and orchestral accents. Tracks like “Feeding The Meatgrinder” (featuring Cannibal Corpse’s George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher) and “They Murdered Sleep” spotlight the band’s ability to seamlessly integrate brutal heaviness with cinematic symphonics. No filler moments: even instrumental piece “Apocalypse Canvas” sustains tension for full immersion. Each breakdown and tempo shift feels purposeful, never gratuitous—balancing nostalgia for their early deathcore roots with evolved songwriting and polished production. A confident, focused album that cements Shadow of Intent’s place among the elite of modern symphonic deathcore.
