While 2019&#8217;s <em>&#8216;The Disconnect&#8217;<\/em> saw Kaan Tasan come in to replace frontman Jamie Graham, meaning in hindsight that album was transitional as this new collection, <em>&#8216;The Place Only Brings Death&#8217;, <\/em>sees a fully-formed version of this incarnation of <strong>HOAC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it ticks all the usual metalcore boxes; blast beats, breakdowns, angst-filled screams, and occasional towering melodies. Yet from the outset songs such as <em>&#8216;The Place Only Brings Death<\/em>&#8216; and <em>&#8216;Captor&#8217;<\/em> are ferociously delivered with leniency. Any previous anxiety about introducing a new vocalist is gone as Tasan now sounds like part of the furniture. Throughout his screams roar, battling Carl Ayers and Dan Thornton chainsaw guitars and Christopher &#8220;Noddy&#8221; Mansbridge&#8217;s destructive drums in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Early highlights like <em>&#8216;Devour Me&#8217;<\/em> and <em>&#8216;Surrender To Failure&#8217;<\/em> exemplify the muscular production that is maintained over the course of these 10 songs. Where past releases have seen\u00a0<strong>HOAC<\/strong> border on the technical progressive side of metalcore, <em>&#8216;Ghost&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>and<em> &#8216;Hex&#8217;<\/em> pummel their way through with musical complexity sacrificed in favour of heavier, tighter songs. Even though the latter flirts with synthetic experimentation, it&#8217;s the band&#8217;s density that comes out on top.<\/p>\n<p>For all of its hefty mightiness, <em>&#8216;The Place Only Brings Death&#8217;<\/em> occasionally suffers from giving in to those aforementioned genre tropes. For example,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Passenger&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>fiercely barges in yet is executed in a similar fashion to other metalcore torchbearers. Shades of Architects and While She Sleeps soon spring to mind during the later stages of the album, partly due to Tasan&#8217;s vocals. <em>&#8216;All Life Is Finite&#8217; <\/em>aims to be a grandiose album closer yet leaves unsatisfied.<\/p>\n<p>While apocalyptic in its delivery,\u00a0<strong>Heart Of A Coward<\/strong> unfortunately fails to carve out a distinguishable sound. However, if you&#8217;re simply wanting a dense set of songs with slight technical proficiency, then you&#8217;ll end up playing <em>&#8216;The Place Only Brings Death&#8217;<\/em> on repeat.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"HEART OF A COWARD - Devour me (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qw4LAoVPsms?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><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"Annisokay\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-94593 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Annisokay-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"Annisokay\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Annisokay-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Annisokay-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Annisokay-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Annisokay-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Annisokay.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Annisokay &#8211; Abyss Pt. I<\/h2>\n<p>Much like Arising Empire label mates\u00a0<strong>Heart Of A Coward<\/strong>, Germany&#8217;s <strong>Annisokay<\/strong> have been metalcore mainstays for quite some time. On the surface, they&#8217;ve always have kinda just &#8220;existed&#8221;, doing the rounds in their homeland and further afield. While 2021&#8217;s\u00a0<em>&#8216;Aurora&#8217;<\/em> full-length saw the arrival of heavy vocalist Rudi Schwarzer, leading to a slight reinvention in their sound. Coming off as more assured, slick, and multi-dimensional, it allowed <strong>Annisokay<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>to shake off the underdog tag.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves us at\u00a0<em>&#8216;Abyss Pt. I&#8217;<\/em>, a six-song EP that aims to merge heaviness with accessibility. And to\u00a0<strong>Annisokay<\/strong>&#8216;s credit, they&#8217;ve achieved it, for the most part. After\u00a0<em>&#8216;Into The Abyss&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>provides a cinematic introduction, <em>&#8216;Human&#8217;<\/em> arrives with juddering riffs, crunching guitars, and Christoph Wieczorek&#8217;s soaring hooks, cast over by a dark cloud. Schwarzer&#8217;s role of the angst-fueled vocalist is performed well, supplying brief venomous bursts while allowing Wieczorek&#8217;s vocals to shine.<\/p>\n<p>To their credit,\u00a0<strong>Annisokay<\/strong> has a knack for incorporating electronic elements into their brand of metalcore. <em>&#8216;Ultraviolet&#8217;<\/em> showcases this well, making the quartet, completed by drummer Nico Vaeen and bassist Norbert Rose, sound bigger than they considerably have any right to be. Glacieral synths thread through Wieczorek&#8217;s earworm of a chorus and Schwarzer&#8217;s nu-metal-like bars, while Vaeen&#8217;s drum work adds heftiness to the track.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, <em>&#8216;Throne Of The Sunset\u2019<\/em>s is delivered with razor-sharp guitars as the quartet&#8217;s collective musicianship bounces off one another radiantly.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Calamity&#8217;<\/em> sees\u00a0<strong>Annisokay<\/strong> put their own spin on German pop star Leony&#8217;s hit single <em>&#8216;Remedy&#8217;<\/em> (don&#8217;t worry I&#8217;m not familiar with it either). Here, their pop sensibilities are ideally enforced, partly due to its synth-pop intro and tempo before erupting with a robust heavy groove. Sure, it&#8217;s not on the infectious level of fellow Germans Electric Callboy yet it&#8217;s still carried by a massive hook.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Abyss Pt. I&#8217;<\/em> ends with another slice of electronica-led metalcore. Here Wieczorek takes the lead with Schwarzer&#8217;s rough vocals being a touch too brief. However, with its ethereal ambience subtly humming away in its background, it adds a fitting sense of grandeur with a final, momentous chorus to match.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re like me, and consider yourself a casual metalcore fan, then\u00a0<strong>Annisokay<\/strong> have done the right thing on\u00a0<em>&#8216;Abyss Pt. I&#8217;<\/em>. Their blend of expected heaviness, soaring hooks and flashes of electronica doesn&#8217;t outstay its welcome.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"ANNISOKAY - Calamity (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vxJTh7-eXWU?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><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"RocketPengwin\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-94585\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Rocket-Pengwin.jpg\" alt=\"Rocket Pengwin\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Rocket-Pengwin.jpg 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Rocket-Pengwin-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Rocket-Pengwin-768x517.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Rocket Pengwin &#8211; Polar Opposites<\/h2>\n<p>Meet Eddie Sears. He&#8217;s described as a &#8220;multi-hyphenate singer, songwriter, and visual artist&#8221; who goes under the moniker of <b>Rocket Pengwin<\/b>. After adopting New York City as his home in 2016, Sears found somewhere to freely express his creativity. His debut album, <i>&#8216;Polar Opposites&#8217;<\/i>, allows him to do just that.<\/p>\n<p>Conceptually loosely based on the notion of taking the character of &#8216;Pengwin&#8217; out of Antarctica, and placing them in NYC, <i>&#8216;Polar Opposites&#8217;<\/i> allows Sears to explore numerous relatable topics; wanting to stand out from the crowd, and question how do relationships even work &#8211; where that&#8217;s amongst people, ourselves, or our surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Stylistically,\u00a0<strong>Rocket Pengwin<\/strong> firmly sticks his flag in the power-pop-punk ground. On the surface, the title track and &#8216;<em>Central Park&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>quickly set out an irresistible template. Sure what Sears delivers is formulaic yet it&#8217;s a fun record, driven by an abundance of hooks.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Save Me&#8217;<\/em> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Say It Loud&#8217;<\/em> are carried with a hint of grit and is on par with Machne Gun Kelly&#8217;s pop-rock output. Whereas <em>&#8216;Heaven&#8217; <\/em>is executed with a quirky alt-pop plomb, reminiscent of Twenty-one Pilots and Panic! At the Disco.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say <strong>Rocket Pengwin<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is avoidable of originality. Whether that&#8217;s on the self-deprecating driving rock on <em>&#8216;What&#8217;s The Point? (I Care)&#8217;<\/em>, bass-heavy\u00a0<em>&#8216;Promises&#8217;<\/em>, or\u00a0<em>&#8216;Don\u2019t Hate&#8217;<\/em> synthetic delivery, Sears takes risks yet manages to deliver some sense of consistency. Admittedly covers of Taylor Swift&#8217;s <em>&#8216;Anti-Hero&#8217;<\/em> and Miley Cyrus&#8217; <em>&#8216;Jaded&#8217;<\/em> come off as tacked on for clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, in the ether of pop-rock newcomers\u00a0<strong>Rocket Pengwin<\/strong> isn&#8217;t terrible nor is\u00a0<em>&#8216;Polar Opposites&#8217;<\/em> outstanding. However, Sears certainly has a flair for writing favourable hooks and a loose narration that allows him to make slight stylistic twists and turns with ease.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Polar Opposites&#8217;<\/em> shouldn&#8217;t be ignored as\u00a0<strong>Rocket Pengwin<\/strong> has produced a promising first release.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Rocket Pengwin - Central Park\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qmvybbs4Veo?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<h2 id=\"thelist\">What is out on this #NewMusicFriday?<\/h2>\n<p>Heart Of A Coward &#8211; This Place Only Brings Death<br \/>\nStaind &#8211; Confessions Of The Fallen<br \/>\nAnnisokay &#8211; Abyss Pt.
