.@prankrec has reissued the 1985 demo from one of Alabama's earliest punk bands, GNP, with extensive packaging that—when mailordered direct—even includes a 10-page 8.5" × 11" zine loaded with liner notes and ephemera. Very cool: aversionline.com/v/8333

In the mood for some gut-churning death metal about the rampant destruction of humanity? Sounds good to me! aversionline.com/view/immort…

Good mix this month, with no two bands falling into the same style. From melodic hardcore to technical "emo" with some edge metal, post-hardcore, crushing sludge, and unique crust in between: aversionline.com/v/8331

Despite my love for New Jersey hardcore of the '90s, I had never been exposed to Unanswered—later known as Hope (Delusion)—before. Underrated mid-to-late-'90s metalcore for fans of Rorschach, Converge, etc. aversionline.com/view/unansw…

Trying to catch up after weeks of unmotivated burnout. Been sitting on some of these for months. Varieties of crushing metallic hardcore, then some catchy or angular emo/indie, plus some dark post-metal-ish weirdness: aversionline.com/view/random…

Philly doom metal-infused rockers New Dawn Fades return with an excellent full-length LP—required listening for any fan of this particular corner of the genre: aversionline.com/view/new-da…

Guitar/drums duo whitepicketfence crosses genres with their "fuck you to the American Dream." Stylistically you'll pick up on emo/indie, borderline sludgy noise rock, post-rock, and associated realms in between and beyond: aversionline.com/view/whitep…

Today, perhaps explore some great Swedish noise rock with undercurrents of sludgy warmth and mathy quirks: aversionline.com/view/mpb-vi…

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…

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

This week it's some well-produced thrash peppered with death metal and metallic hardcore influences, by way of Philly outfit No Gods: aversionline.com/view/no-god…

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…

Gracious thanks to Handstand Records for sending over the latest LP from Kissed by an Animal. Energetic alt-rock with a power pop sensibility: aversionline.com/v/8318

"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
