It&#8217;s a trend that is guaranteed to continue with their latest album &#8211;\u00a0<em>&#8216;Fallen Star&#8217;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Treachery<\/em>&#8216; launches the album at full throttle thanks to Casey McHale&#8217;s dense drum fills and Sammy Urwin&#8217;s distant Wilhelm scream, before settling into a tasty metallic groove. It&#8217;s rapid, heavy and absolutely thrilling, setting the bar high for the following 10 tracks. The title track soon follows, highlighting\u00a0<strong>ETS<\/strong>&#8216;s heavy-to-melodic dynamic. Justine Jones&#8217; barbed screams, along with a thick musical backdrop, are countered by Urwin&#8217;s soaring melodies and gentle shoegaze-esque keys. Likewise,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Atonement&#8217;<\/em> is a hulking metalcore beast with Lorna Shore&#8217;s Will Ramos vocals and a riveting guitar solo from Sammy adding to its sheer impact. It also includes one of the album&#8217;s strongest hooks.<\/p>\n<p>Pulling off memorable melodies that bridge <em>&#8216;Fallen Star&#8217;<\/em> to 2021&#8217;s\u00a0<em>&#8216;Conquering&#8217;<\/em>. Tracks such as\u00a0<em>&#8216;Familiar Pain&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Renegades&#8217;<\/em> exemplify\u00a0<strong>ETS<\/strong>&#8216;s melodic might without sacrificing their savage intent. On the latter, Urwin and David Porter provide a blazing, duel guitar onslaught as the pairing of McHale and bassist Nathan Pryor creates a solid rhythmic foundation. Furthermore, there are moments such as <em>&#8216;Whose Side Are You On?&#8217;<\/em>, featuring Killswitch Engage&#8217;s Jesse Leach, which simply adds to the relentless energy that thrives through <em>&#8216;Fallen Star&#8217;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read the full review <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/review-employed-to-serve-fallen-star\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"Landmvrks\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-97795\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Landmvrks-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Landmvrks\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Landmvrks-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Landmvrks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Landmvrks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Landmvrks.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Landmvrks &#8211; The Darkest Place I\u2019ve Ever Been<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s common knowledge that the modern metalcore scene is full of bands imitating the genre&#8217;s leaders. However, French outfit\u00a0<strong>Landmvrks<\/strong> look to stand out as they deliver their fourth album, <em>&#8216;The Darkest Place I\u2019ve Ever Been&#8217;<\/em>. They make a good go of it, throwing elements of hip-hop, hardcore, and Linkin Park-sized choruses (see\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Great Unknown&#8217;<\/em>) into the mix. On the surface, it ticks all the right boxes for modern metalcore.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, Florent Salfati has versatility, singing and rapping in English and French throughout the 11 tracks on offer. He&#8217;s backed a mix of heavy blasts and towering passages that make\u00a0<strong>Landmvrks<\/strong> sound as big as ever. Tracks such as\u00a0<em>&#8216;Sulfur&#8217;<\/em> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Requiem&#8217;<\/em> thrive with brutality, yet are countered by soaring moments like\u00a0<em>&#8216;Creature&#8217;<\/em>. While\u00a0<em>&#8216;Deep Inferno&#8217;<\/em> is dominated by K\u00e9vin D\u2019Agostino&#8217;s rapid drumming.<\/p>\n<p>As its title suggests, <em>&#8216;The Darkest Place I\u2019ve Ever Been&#8217;<\/em> is thematically strung together by raw introspection. Obviously, it adds consistency, yet with a sound that often restricts itself to modern metalcore, only a handful of tracks truly stand out. It&#8217;s here where\u00a0<strong>Landmvrks<\/strong> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;The Darkest Place I\u2019ve Ever Been&#8217;<\/em> falter. For every noteworthy track, there are too many forgettable moments which fail to achieve <strong>Landmvrks<\/strong>&#8216; aim of standing out from the pack.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"HeartAttackMan\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-98448\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Heart-Attack-Man-The-Gallows.jpg-800x534.webp\" alt=\"Heart Attack Man\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Heart-Attack-Man-The-Gallows.jpg-800x534.webp 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Heart-Attack-Man-The-Gallows.jpg-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Heart-Attack-Man-The-Gallows.jpg-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Heart-Attack-Man-The-Gallows.jpg.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Heart Attack Man &#8211; Joyride The Pale Horse<\/h2>\n<p>There has always been something quite likeable about\u00a0<strong>Heart Attack Man<\/strong>&#8216;s brand of emo-punk. The Cleveland, OH trio of Eric Egan (vocals\/guitar), Adam Paduch (drums), and Ty Sickels (guitar) have proven to be fairly reliable in delivering tongue-in-cheek songs about existential dread, wrapped in scrappy pop-punk hooks.<\/p>\n<p>Their latest offering,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Joyride The Pale Horse&#8217;<\/em>, finds them at their most self-deprecating, accompanied by a thoroughly energetic approach. Tracks like the crunching\u00a0<em>&#8216;Spit&#8217;<\/em> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Lay Down And Die&#8217;<\/em> whizz by with an abundance of vigour. No track exceeds the three-minute mark, making\u00a0<em>&#8216;Joyride The Pale Horse&#8217;<\/em> an easily digestible record. It allows the three-piece to cut the fat off yet maintain their variety. <em>&#8216;Laughing Without Smiling&#8217;<\/em> monotone verses segue into 90s pop-punk.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Can\u2019t Slow Down&#8217;<\/em> serves as a plea to be home from life on the road, while Paduch bashes away at double time.\u00a0<em>&#8216;One Good Reason&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>is carried by &#8220;ooh&#8221;s and a light grunge tone. Furthermore, there&#8217;s a hint of &#8217;90s alt-rock fuzz that subtly anchors itself throughout.<\/p>\n<p>When combined with Egan&#8217;s smart, witty, and unpretentious songwriting, you&#8217;re left with an enjoyable album that doesn&#8217;t outstay its welcome. It offers plenty of replay value, partly thanks to its short and sharp delivery. <strong>Heart Attack Man<\/strong>&#8216;s tendency to deliver catchy, punk-fueled choruses is thoroughly effective. They&#8217;ve also had a DIY approach, refusing to follow genre trends, and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Joyride The Pale Horse&#8217;<\/em> does just that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98442\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98442\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Himalayas\" class=\"size-large wp-image-98442\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Himalayas_AndyFord-800x533.webp\" alt=\"Himalayas | Photo Credit: Andy Ford\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Himalayas_AndyFord-800x533.webp 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Himalayas_AndyFord-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Himalayas_AndyFord-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Himalayas_AndyFord-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Himalayas_AndyFord.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98442\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Andy Ford<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Himalayas &#8211; Bad Star<\/h2>\n<p>Citing Queens Of The Stone Age, Radiohead, Royal Blood and Foo Fighters as influences for their second album, it&#8217;s clear where\u00a0<strong>Himalayas&#8217;<\/strong> intentions lie; riff-heavy rock anthems.\u00a0<em>&#8216;Bad Star&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>seems the Cardiff group step away from the comfortable indie-rock, allowing them to expand to a far denser (and dynamic) sound.<\/p>\n<p>Take the opening track, <em>&#8216;Beneath The Barrel&#8217;, <\/em>for example.

While that might not make them stand out from similar bands on their level, their courageous and often direct approach can be appreciated. Admittedly, there are moments where you question if the quartet have missed the boat by a few years. Their influences are occasionally worn too proudly, yet you can forgive them as they&#8217;re able to build an immersive world littered by man-made disasters with little optimism. Later cuts such as\u00a0<em>&#8216;Afterlife&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Twisted Reflections&#8217;<\/em> exemplify this. The former is a rigid tale of existential hope with sweltering guitars bubbling underneath, before the latter sees atmosphere utilised again, proving to be restrained and raw.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Bad Star&#8217;<\/em> may not take them to be headlining arenas and stadiums, yet it does put <strong>Himalayas <\/strong>on the right path they<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>aspire to.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"list\">What is out on #NewMusicFriday?<\/h2>\n<p>Ghost &#8211; Skelet\u00e1<br \/>\nMachine Head &#8211; Unat\u00f8ned<br \/>\nEmployed To Serve &#8211; Fallen Star<br \/>\nLandmvrks &#8211; The Darkest Place I\u2019ve Ever Been<br \/>\nHeart Attack Man &#8211; Joyride The Pale Horse<br \/>\nHimalayas &#8211; Bad Star<br \/>\nWednesday 13 &#8211; Mid Death Crisis<br \/>\nEYES &#8211; Spinner<br \/>\nDeathbyRomy &#8211; Hollywood Forever<br \/>\nYouth Fountain &#8211; Stuck in My Own Hell<br \/>\nBeddy Rays &#8211; Do What Ya Wanna<br \/>\nLuke Spiller &#8211; Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes and Wine<br \/>\nRodeo Boys &#8211; Junior<br \/>\nSumac and Moor Mother &#8211; The Film<br \/>\nKardashev &#8211; Alunea<br \/>\nJames and The Cold Gun &#8211; Face In The Mirror<br \/>\nCaliban &#8211; Back In Hell<br \/>\nTeeth &#8211; I Am The Way To Oblivion<br \/>\nLaura Reznek &#8211; The Sewing Room<br \/>\nCouch Slut &#8211; Live at Roadburn 2024 the Couch Slut Brunch Hour<br \/>\nLives Lost &#8211; HOME<br \/>\nAnother Damn Disappointment (A.D.D.) &#8211; Bedlam<br \/>\nSociety Of Villains &#8211; Good &amp; Evil<br \/>\nEluveitie &#8211; \u00c0NV<br \/>\nInhuman Nature &#8211; Greater Than Death<br \/>\nKlaus Schulze &#8211; Bon Voyage (Live Audimax Hamburg 1981)<br \/>\nHigher Walls &#8211; No End<br \/>\nMano de Piedra &#8211; Tales From The Burnt House<br \/>\nDeerhoof &#8211; Noble and Godlike in Ruin<br \/>\nBroncho &#8211; Natural Pleasure<br \/>\nLos Pepes &#8211; Out of the Void<br \/>\nSoapbox &#8211; Lock In<br \/>\nFamily Garden &#8211; Dreams Beyond Contro<br \/>\nMuck and the Mires &#8211; Beat Generation<br \/>\nFloral Image &#8211; Gone Down Meadowland<br \/>\nPoint Mort &#8211; Le point de non-retour<\/p>\n<p><em id=\"playlist\">If you think I&#8217;ve missed something or have a new album\/EP\/song to tell us about, tell us about it <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/already-heard-playlist-release-submission\/\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: #NewMusicFriday\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/5QJ3ivfXxJG8bc1CvaAjzy?si=a152801622704497&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the latest tracks focusing on rock, punk, hardcore, metal, emo, and everything in between, then check out our <em>&#8216;Newish Music&#8217;<\/em> playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/newishmusic\">Spotify<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/newishmusicAM\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week sees releases from Ghost, Machine Head, Employed To Serve, Heart Attack Man, Landmvrks, Himalayas, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98752,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2329,161],"tags":[17572],"class_list":["post-98751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-playlists","tag-newmusicfriday"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
