The latest EP from Unreal City presents more dark metallic hardcore mandatory for fans of the classic "holy terror" sound of mid-to-late-'90s Cleveland: aversionline.com/view/unreal-ci…

An interestingly blended form of U.K. metalcore purported to be "FFO: Arkangel, Turmoil." I do not disagree: aversionline.com/view/afraid-to…

Semi-chaotic late-'90s/early-2000s metalcore meets screamo, from NJ's Stress Spells. One of the best releases I've heard so far this year: aversionline.com/v/8322

Little dash of Achers today. Angular emo/indie in a D.C. meets San Diego via London kinda style. Very good: aversionline.com/v/8321

Missed January, but loads of interesting music already piling up this year, so here's an early roundup for the month. Death/thrash, impactful screamo, hardcore/punk (and adjacent)... Enjoy, I hope: aversionline.com/view/random-ro…

A quick chat and ripping tunes regarding the 30th anniversary of Dutch grind unit My Minds Mine! aversionline.com/view/my-minds-…

A handful of words about the dark, angular hybrid of noise rock/post-hardcore from Feel Worse on the site today: aversionline.com/v/8317

Last day of the year = time for the list. All kinds of stuff. Many different styles. There. I did it. It's done. Moving on... aversionline.com/view/2025-year…

"The Final Rewind," rounding out the initial pre-hiatus run of the site. With future "stars" like Animals as Leaders & Turnstile, painfully underrated gems such as Karma Never Forgives & Lash Out, longstanding classics like Exhumed & Integrity, and more: aversionline.com/v/8314

A quick nod to the new album from longstanding Boston rockers Black Helicopter on the site today: aversionline.com/view/black-hel…

A good range this month, with some deathly and/or experimental metal, curious screamo, and alternatively rockin' catchiness, too: aversionline.com/view/random-ro…

Slimmer pickin's by 2010, as the posts-per-year dipped below 100. Still, longtime favorites like Integrity & Starkweather, (eventually) higher-profile keepers from Deafheaven & Title Fight, unsung gems such as Red Vienna & Young Adults, and even more: aversionline.com/v/8311

Part aggressive recommendation/part rant about the obvious brilliance/inexplicable underratedness of Surrender the Weapon today. Excuselessly mandatory for fans of technical and progressive metallic hardcore! aversionline.com/view/surrender…

A properly varied mix this month, with assorted forms of catchy alt-rock, differing post-hardcore styles, ripping grind, crushing metalcore, and more: aversionline.com/view/random-ro…

It feels like the early-2000s again with the three latest releases from the mighty Full House Records, proving that Finland still has one of the finest metallic hardcore scenes on the planet: aversionline.com/view/full-hous…

Getting into the leaner years by 2009, with a number of repeat bands—Bolt, Dead City, Trapped Under Ice, etc.—but plenty of unsung gems to revisit from the likes of Explode and Make Up, One Hidden Frame, The Platoon, Show of Force, and more: aversionline.com/v/8307

Some fantastic indie rock today, direct from Haugar out of Reykjavík, Iceland: aversionline.com/view/haugar-so…
