Facing New York:
In a time where most bands in their twenties are content to dress foolish and write played out songs fit for mass emo consumption, Facing New York instead offer up something more. An introspective take on progressive indie rock, the band possess an air of intelligence that shines through in each charming melodic swirl they consistently turn out. |

Parkway Drive:
Believe it or not, metalcore has also become the way of business in Australia and Parkway Drive can prove it. A ferocious modern beatdown put to tape, the band managed to lock in Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz to produce their new outing, "Killing With A Smile". While a proper North American release date has yet to be announced, it shouldn't take long for this violent offender of an album to break free from the groups native land and terrorize more familiar shores. |

Goodbye Blue Monday:
The mopey post-rock mixed with experimental fervence Goodbye Blue Monday conjure up is of a quality not often seen. Factor in the frenetic jam band freak-outs and the ability to top it all off with detached, yet emotional vocals, plus that dizzying sense of self-introspection At The Drive-In made famous, and you have a goodbye not easily forgotten.

Phoenix Mourning
Constructed from the splinters of numerous bands who rapidly fell apart, Phoenix Mourning seem to have finally struck a solid combination to express themselves with. Sporting a severe brand of metalcore that proudly brandishes full-blown melodies, this rise from the ashes just may burn as bright as the first half of their moniker would suggest. |

Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir

"Earth.Revolt"

Deadlock:
Norway may lay claim to most of black metals greats, but with Deadlock Germany look to carry the torch in a bit more palatable of a direction. Having released the epic and undeniably devastating "Earth.Revolt" earlier this year, a penchant for corpse paint and black leather are not necessary to enjoy the grueling devastation this quintet can unleash. |
