Bleeding Through has been leading the charge for hard edged metalcore for the better part of 3 decades. When all of their peers decided to broaden their musical horizons to varying degrees, BT were steadfast in their commitment to brutality.

Simon Crampton2 years ago2 years ago04 mins

You have to give Atreyu credit.They have endured for over 2 decades now, and their popularity and persistence has seen them outgrow and extend their reach far beyond the scene that spawned them.

Kyle Dimond3 years ago3 years ago06 mins

2019’s Alien saw Northlane pushed further through the smoke than ever before. An intensely personal album for vocalist Marcus Bridge, their last record added layers of nu metal, industrial and electronic music to their established sound.
