Haut & Court - "La Vie"

French hardcore from Haut & Court on their "La Vie" release, packed full of short and sweet numbers that are filled to the brim with brutality and ingenuity. The guitar workouts on "Colision" are absolutely bananas especially, but definitely killer across the whole release. The drums are tuned awesomely and the vocals are just incredibly intense and heavy. Monstrous stuff right here.

Dacast - "Dédale"

Parisian mathy noisy progressive metal and core varieties via Dacast. Super technical and talented, these guys have a clip from a reported movie that accompanies the release available on Metalinjection.com right now. The movie mostly consists of sliced and diced found footage, but it expertly crafted to match the music. And the music, well, this joint is fucking incredible if you like your thinking music loud, aggressive, and chaotic while also being cohesive, intelligent, and emotive.

SYPHLUST - "Fuck You Bruce Willis"

As if the dude behind James Doesn't Exist et al isn't prolific enough already, he basically finishes off and rounds out the band called Syphlust, cited as a guest on each individual track and the album as a whole. Following the trend of all Nikolai Gawin related output, this shit is incredible. He, along with two other rude dudes, craft some really over the top brutally awesome noisy grindy chaotic mathy hardcore. Check the shit out. I mean, if you think you can handle it, anyhow. Torn Flesh Records strikes again.

Errata - "Cognac Al Dente"

Considering the literal definition of this band's name, I'd say it's pretty fitting they chose it as their moniker. Same can be said of this album title, perfectly fitting. Heavy and intense, soft and subtle. Serious business that's fun stuff, fun stuff that's serious business. Perfect for weekend afternoon puff'n'chug scenarios.
