We try not to get carried away with industry talk but Torche should be commended for superb timing with the December release of “Minions”, the first single from Restarter out this week. Relapse Records took advantage of the music industry’s slowest season and the track kicked around Howl’s playlist for three months since. The Agonist continues to rip with Eye of Providence, their first effort with vocalist Vicky Psarakis. The band was on the rise before Arch Enemy recruited Alissa White-Gluz in 2014. “Gates of Horn and Ivory” proves The Agonist hasn’t lost a step and can compete with the… Read more »

We can’t get enough of the new Theories single, “Cycle of Decay”. It is so heavy one must cease all other activity and vigorously headbang for almost three and a half minutes until the song is over. Exercise caution while driving if you hear it on Howl. For legal reasons, we recommend you pull over. Napalm Death registers a four week low… at third place. They dominated this playlist through January along with Sylosis and Lord Dying. Erra makes their first appearance as a featured band on the Howl playlist this week. They have “extremely limited” physical copies of Moments… Read more »
We compiled a list of special artists we think rule and labels should be paying attention to.
Elder Brother (Daybreaker vocalist Dan Rose and The Story So Far guitarist/vocalist Kevin Geyer) released a surprise EP, Wish You Were Here, through Pure Noise Records. The record contains four tracks all titled, “Wish You Were Here,” including an original and three covers by Get Up Kids, Ryan Adams, and Pink Floyd.
It goes without saying that 2015 is going to be a massive year for music, but in between the obvious contenders for our most anticipated releases, there’s also a slew of up-and-coming talent that we’re keeping our eyes glued to this year.
Twenty One Pilots have posted their new music video for “Ode To Sleep.” The video documents the band’s rise to success and features footage from one of their first shows as well as the biggest performance of their career in 2014.
2014 was a wonderful year for music, but it was also a wonderful year for forgetting that it was 2014. With so many of this year’s releases wearing their nostalgia for musical eras past on their sleeves, it seemed easier than ever to pick up a record that immediately whisked you back to the decade of your choosing despite being less than twelve months old.
Every music fan has a closet full of band tees — but how many can say they douse their lunch in a band’s branded hot sauce and eat it with a band’s branded plastic fork?
Yellowcard made true on their intent to go where they’ve never gone before with Lift A Sail. Despite being around for almost 20 years now, the band still continues to challenge and reinvent themselves.
