Greywind — “I.K.A.M.F.”
Brother-sister duo Greywind deliver a searing statement with “I.K.A.M.F.,” a razor-sharp emo anthem fueled by betrayal and long-buried rage. Frontwoman Steph O’Sullivan channels years of disillusionment into a revenge track that doesn’t flinch, tearing through false friendships with soaring vocals and a gut-punch chorus: “I can’t find my halo, it slipped off, I tried/I killed all my friends cause they wanted to die.” It’s furious, anthemic, and unapologetically personal—Greywind at their most unfiltered. —Paige Owens
Charmer — “Night”
Opening with a signature Midwest emo guitar tone, Charmer’s latest single, “Night,” quickly picks up the punk rock momentum, channeling the moody intensity of Alkaline Trio. Brooding yet melodic, the track drifts between punchy punk urgency and a dreamy, ’80s-inspired atmosphere reminiscent of The Cure. It’s a striking balance of grit and shimmer, offering a compelling preview of the band’s upcoming album Downpour, due out May 23. —Paige Owens
Bite The Hand — “Razorblade”
Bite The Hand’s “Razorblade” is a blistering dose of sugar-core: sharp, fast, and unflinchingly direct. Echo Breen’s vocals cut through pop-laced hardcore with purpose, delivering a pointed rejection of misogyny: “It’s definitely an anthem for anyone who has to deal with constant, violent misogyny.” It’s equal parts hook and fury—proof the Arizona band is carving out their own lane and championing inclusivity with teeth bared. —Paige Owens
Walter The Producer — “Roadtrip”
Walter The Producer is back and better than ever with his new track, “Roadtrip.” Preceded by the release of his I’D Know EP, the artist’s single is an immersive rock experience complete with soothing indie vocals, earwormy guitar melodies, and a silly, yet charming, music video. If you’re a fan of the track, rest assured that more is on the way with his forthcoming Modern Rock EP, due June 6. The artist noted, “In high school, I didn’t talk at all. Little me wouldn’t believe any of this. I just wanted to be a producer, but this is a dream I didn’t even expect. Maybe I’ll shift more to production in the future, but right now…this is cool. I’m just going to keep dropping music.” —Maria Serra
The Living Tombstone — “Orphans”
The Living Tombstone, aka electro-rockers Yoav Landau and Sam Haft, dropped their dazzling new single from their forthcoming album Rust, due out on May 30. “‘Orphans’ is an ode to the downtrodden, who have been marginalized and left behind by society. It’s an anthem for the forgotten and oppressed that says, ‘You can hurt us, but you can’t destroy us.’ We think it’s the most cinematic song we’ve written together,” the duo shares.—Maria Serra
AVRALIZE — “helium”
AVRALIZE is one of the most underrated bands in metalcore right now. This German quartet continues to bring the heat on their new single “helium.” With this release marking their 11th song ever, this band’s writing ability is simply absurd. From the intricate layering, blistering breakdowns, and soaring choruses, AVRALIZE, once again, prove that they are one of the best up-and-coming heavy bands in the entire world. —Patrick Walford
Parkway Drive — “Sacred”
A song that feels like a true return to their metalcore roots, the legends of Parkway Drive dropped their heaviest song in years with “Sacred.” Having one breakdown go right into another breakdown made it feel like they turned back the clock nearly 20 years to something off their debut album Killing With A Smile, or their sophomore effort Horizons. The lyrics and chorus will have listeners defiantly shouting along when they play this live on Summer of Loud this July & August! —Patrick Walford
Sleep Token — “Gethsemane”
From Sleep Token’s highly anticipated album Even In Arcadia, “Gethsemane” is both heavy and melodic—a shining example of what makes the band so great. For the first half of the song, listeners are sweetly serenaded by Vessel before it takes a turn in a much heavier direction. For fans just discovering Sleep Token, this track is a perfect starting point to dive deep into Even In Arcadia. —Patrick Walford
Attack Attack! — “Dance! (Feat. Will Ramos)”
After a week full of teasing that they were going country and “selling out,” Attack Attack! are back with their new single “Dance!” This track offers everything fans fell in love with more than 15 years ago: massive breakdowns, hilarious lyrics, and a fun, upbeat tempo. Plus, it’s all bundled together by an absurd guest spot from Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos. This track made it clear: ATTACK ATTACK! IS BACK! Ohio’s finest will be dropping their new album Attack Attack II in early August, and it is one of the most anticipated releases in the genre this summer. —Patrick Walford
