Their songs virtually drip with molten lead, they are that freaking heavy; the throbbing bass, down-tuned guitars and guttural vocals making for an impressively doomy comeback from the Sheffield quartet. It may be short at only three songs, but it is an interesting taster of what they can do.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8217;90ft Stone&#8217;<\/i> is about as massive as the name suggests, with an enormous chugging riff, while the similarly paced <i>&#8216;Mantis Rising&#8217;<\/i> rocks slowly along before a few challenging twists and turns. However, it is <i>&#8216;Lefole&#8217;<\/i> that is most daring with its atmospheric passages and artistic edginess, lending it a cathartic quality, making for a stylish finale. So, if you like your riffs heavy as fuck and want something that pounds away at the skull this should prove a satisfying return.<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"naisian - 90ft.

Acoustic intros? No way. Atmospheric interludes? Nope. Orchestral passages? Not a chance in hell. It is just straightforward, head-banging, no-holds-barred, supercharged speed metal from the word go. But ya know what, despite the obvious influences inherent to the genre, it sounds fresh and exciting, having much more in common with recent Testament and Death Angel albums than with yesterday&#8217;s classics.<\/p>\n<p>The pummeling begins immediately with the super fast guitars of <i>&#8216;Cloak of Lies&#8217;<\/i> and doesn&#8217;t let up until the ear-splitting solo of <i>Husk&#8217;<\/i> brings it to an equally abrupt close. Sandwiched in between is a constant battering of superfly riffs, screeching solos and machine-gun rhythms, all about as aggressive as it comes. Each track is a great thrash metal workout, something few bands are doing these days, but collectively it does blend into one marathon thrash fest. Even so, if you like your metal to be metal and your thrash to thrash, this is well worth shaking your head to.<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"Black Fast - Phantom I Am\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0aZzNqS3l9U?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Spectre of Ruin&#8217;<\/em> by <strong>Black Fast<\/strong> is out now on <strong>eOne.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Black Fast<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackfastmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BlackFast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BlackFastMetal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blackfastofficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-67822\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-768x767.png 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-465x465.png 465w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Hyvmine.png 1276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Hyvmine &#8211; Fight or Flight EP<\/h2>\n<p>Virtuosic guitar work and soaring post-grunge vocals provide the signature sound to the new face of progressive metal, <strong>Hyvmine<\/strong>. Their second release, <i>&#8216;Fight or Flight&#8217;<\/i>, is a more complex affair than their debut album, taking a less commercial approach in order to fully explore Al Joseph&#8217;s incredible guitar skills. Influenced by the likes of Steve Via and John Petrucci, Joseph really lets rip on what is a seriously extended EP weighing in at over 31 minutes! However, this is no djent fest as they explore a variety of riffing styles, extended solos and quirky experimental passages, with the anthemic vocals thrown in it is really rather easy on the ear and way more accessible than the track lengths suggest.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;Coup de Grace&#8217;<\/i> is a particularly smooth opener with a distinctly 90s feel, though it successfully explores different textures, while <i>&#8216;The Epicoustic&#8217;<\/i> delivers a killer hook in the midst of a meandering epic liberally spattered with fine guitar work. At over 12 minutes, closer <i>&#8216;Feather Bed&#8217;<\/i> is simply gigantic and despite featuring more classy axe-wielding, is a little more demanding of the listener. All told <i>&#8216;Fight or Flight&#8217;<\/i> is a surprisingly enjoyable record and, with this much talent on display, is sure to shake up the prog metal scene.<br \/>\n<iframe title=\"HYVMINE - &quot;Shogun&quot; Official Music Video\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AoD8F5OLAYg?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Fight or Flight&#8217;<\/em>\u00a0EP by <strong>Hyvmine<\/strong> is out now on <strong>Seek and Strike<\/strong>\/<strong>Sony Music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hyvmine<\/strong> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hyvmine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hyvmineband\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hyvmine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a id=\"theagonyscene\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-67918 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/The-Agony-Scene-Tormentor.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The Agony Scene &#8211; Tormentor<\/h2>\n<p>After a ten-year hiatus, <strong>The Agony Scene<\/strong> are back with a bang on fourth album <i>&#8216;Tormentor&#8217;<\/i>. Their underground metalcore stylings, which owe much more to traditional metal than to current interpretations dominated by clean vocal radio-friendly choruses, have not been dimmed by their extended break. In fact, the raging assault of <i>&#8216;Tormentor&#8217;<\/i> is refreshingly aggressive, taking no prisoners as they dip their fingers into the inkwells of black metal and thrash to produce a relentlessly intense speed fest.<\/p>\n<p>Tracks like the ferocious <i>&#8216;Like the Weeds in the Field&#8217;<\/i>, <i>&#8216;Mechanical Breath&#8217;<\/i> with its pounding kick drum attack and the superfast <i>&#8216;The Apostate&#8217;<\/i> are just a handful of the quality tracks on offer. The entire album is a full-on furious assault, yet has plenty of other dimensions to it with well-placed tempo shifts and darker influences at play.

Despite the DIY approach, they knock out a catchy tune and have a pretty polished sound as they succeed in balancing their hooks with mosh-friendly heaviness.
