Even with powerhouse frontman Chester Bennington gone, it hasn’t stopped Linkin Park from releasing previously recorded tracks. “Friendly Fire” was originally a part of the acts “One More Light” sessions. The band posted a snippet of the song on their socials, with hints of their nu-metal flair blended with synth-pop. “We’re falling apart for no reason/We’re pulling the trigger in a useless war/If we go back and go into the black/What are we fighting for?” The preview is on a simple green background with conveyor belt text, the title, and the year it was recorded.

Dayseeker is stripping down their sound on their upcoming acoustic album, Replica. With the album announcement, they also dropped a reimagined version of“Burial Plot” featuring Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo.

Partnering with two powerhouse vocalists like Shomo and Dayseeker’s Rory Rodriguez, generates an evocative sound that makes this reimagined rendition stand out above the group’s original version of the track. The reverberation in play with the vocals creates an atmosphere for the listener that assists with impacting the message… Read more »
Bands covering other bands! Emo act Ben Quad has covered their label and tourmates Arm’s Length’s song, “In Loving Memory,” via Wax Bodega.

Needless to say, listening to both side-by-side, changes the game. “We wanted to challenge ourselves and try to make the song our own by adding our own style of riffs and vocal melodies but make it distinctive,” says frontman Sam Wegrzynski about why they chose to cover this particular track. He explains that it has… Read more »
Metal act Like Moths To Flames has set fire to the scene with two new singles via UNFD. The tracks, “Paradigm Trigger” and “Angels Weep,” are the group’s first releases of 2024. The duo songs stick to their classic, heavy sound. Vocalist Chris Roetter explains that “Paradigm Trigger” is about a terrifying sensation when we’re the most vulnerable while in bed and “stuck in a levitate[d] state of sleep paralysis. Including a lot of feelings of anxiety, it’s meant to represent the feeling of being stuck.” That theme is translated in the song with a spooky, spider-like guitar effect while… Read more »
