Hakahn – Abyssal Moon
Release Date: 31st October 2024
While some artists will inevitably try and push genres forward, there’s a lot to be said for just going out there and smashing out some metalcore that hits that part of the brain that needs some chugging riffs and clean choruses. ‘Abyssal Moon’ is the latest track from American metal act Hakahn and does the latter perfectly. No, it isn’t anything new, but it is a soaring metalcore track that will have you singing and screaming along.
Static Authority – Manufactured
Release Date: 1st November 2024
Rock, punk and metal all go nicely hand in hand, as evidenced by relative newcomers Static Authority, a band that are doing their best to merge all of these elements into one chaotic single. ‘Manufactured’ comes straight out of the early noughties in style, with raw vocals and a sense that this music is all about rebellion and attitude. There’s plenty to get your teeth into here.
Buddy Wynkoop – Stress Fracture
Release Date: 1st November 2024
Indie rockers Buddy Wynkoop are building a strong following with each passing track and ‘Stress Fracture’ should do wonders in pushing them on again. Combining bursts of intense energy with softer, spoken sections creates a sense of urgency when all hell breaks loose. This isn’t the heaviest track that will be released in November, but when it goes, it goes hard.
Fight Back Mountain – Trouble & Havoc
Release Date: 1st November 2024
Gravely vocals and a modern punk vibe come together on ‘Trouble & Havoc’ from American outfit Fight Back Mountain. With a catchiness in the guitars that borders on tranquil, it was always going to need something to counter that and it’s vocals that almost sound like they’re painful to produce that provide the ideal tonic. Get ready to be hoarse as you get more and more into this one.
DYLYN – Drown
Release Date: 25th October 2024
Combing modern vibes with some classic inspiration while ramping the energy up as high as possible, it’s ‘Drown’ from Canadian alt-rocker DYLYN, her first single in over two years. The energy of the track itself matching the subject matter of falling ‘hard and fast’ for someone, this infectious track will have the dancefloor bouncing.
Shutter – Silver Saviour
Release Date: 18th October 2024
Slowing down proceedings next with ‘Silver Saviour’ from American shoegazers Shutter, this emotive track will have you staring out of a window contemplating as much as it will up and belting the lyrics out. Taking inspiration from their shoegaze roots but also more 90s alt-rock, each few seconds feels fresh as the song transitions subtly.
Liverpool Alligator Park – BRAVADO
Release Date: 22nd October 2024
Catchy as all hell, ‘BRAVADO’ from pure rock n’ rollers’ Liverpool Alligator Park starts with an outpouring of energy that refuses to relent. While the singalong starts immediately, it’s the choruses that will have everyone up off their feet belting out every word. The energy is so high through this track that you’re bound to be a sweaty mess by the end.
Alffa – Find Me
Release Date: 25th October 2024
Power is the name of the game in ‘Find Me’ from North Wales based Alffa. The stomping track bursts out of the gate and, aside from a few seconds in the middle, is an intense barrage of punky drumming and unrelenting guitars. Look up ‘Find Me’ in a dictionary and you can now be expecting ‘pummelling’ to be written right there.
