The Bellwether Syndicate – Vestige & Vigil
Album | 28/04/2023 | Sett Records / Nexilis Records / Schubert Music Europe
Post Punk / Glam Noir
Chicago, IL, USA
The theme of Vestige & Vigil is a two-fold perspective on the world. Between Vestige, a joyful view on what is still there, and Vigil, the mourning realisation of what has gone, a three-dimensional picture erases. Music-wise, The Bellwether Syndicate depict this sober view between melancholic sounds on the one hand, and heavily rolling tunes on the other.

Finte – Bastion
Single | 28/04/2023 | Independent
Mathcore / Post Hardcore
Hannover, Germany
Three weeks before the release of their new album Wie das Endliche treibt, Finte provide us the longplayer’s second ex ante single. Bastion deals with loss and with the rollercoaster ride of emotions during realisation that an episode of life has finally been terminated. Fitting the context, the musical score reaches from sharp-edged Post Hardcore to melodic Indie passages, and it moves between those spheres in breathtaking waves.

Leaves in Flames – Silence of the Night
Single | 28/04/2023 | Independent
Alternative Rock / Hard Rock
Mönchengladbach, Germany
Not too long ago, Leaves in Flames started as a students band, and now they are already preparing for the release of an EP that will follow up their 2021 debut album Rolling the Dice. The new single stands for their coming-of-age process as it deals with finding oneself while working a day job. Silence of the Night is a song that will live in your memories rent-free once you heard it.

The Rumperts – New Age Jesus
Album | 28/04/2023 | SBÄM Records
Punk Rock / Hardcore Punk
Vienna, Austria
It feels like, we need some riot, don’t we? The Rumperts do not mince words, and they remorselessly shoot against narcissists, sexists, old and new fascists, and other players of oppression or injustice – inside and outside the punk scene. And by that they present one of the most dynamic and butt-kicking Punk Rock albums of the current year.

Post Black Metal / Blackgaze
Mexico
Originally released digitally in January, Sáasil’s longplayer Ephemeral has now been made available on physical formats by Italian label These Hands Melt. The project from Mexico is inviting their listeners to a journey through chasms and painful edges of the human consciousness. Between Doom, Post Metal, DSBM and Blackgaze, a serious confrontation with the self is made possible here.
