'Solitude' is the new album from Chicago's Lord Snow, and if you are already aware of this band, then this record will not disappoint. Fans of the band's earlier work will revel in the noisy, heavy, chaotic songcraft presented on 'Solitude'. Distorted riffs weave and tangle around solid, distorted basslines. The drumming really shines here, plodding through heavy slow parts before careening back into lightning tempos. Most of these songs are short and blow by so quickly that you're repeating the album before you even realize. Screamo is still very much alive and well, and Lord Snow are living proof.

Neighborhood Archers - 1​/​4 Quarters

90's post-hardcore mixed with punk from Edmonton, Canada. "No throwback, no homage, no tribute, just a straight to the point attack." Keep your eyes on this band!

ANCST - The Humane Condition

---

The dudes from Henry Fonda and Afterlife Kids play black metal/hardcore/crust. ANCST's new EP is a killer stuff, a must for fans of heavy, intense and dark music.

Lord Snow - Sovngarde

01. He's Clearly Made The Most Of It
02. Oh, How The Wine Talks
03. The Dastardly Halves
04. Alas, The World Stops Spinning

Obviously, I’m sure many of us were heartbroken when Suffix broke up, but have no fear; Lord Snow quickly arose from its ashes and after an EP in December of 2011, brought us a second album, Sovngarde, in 2012. Female vocals reminiscent of Punch drive this spastic, hardcore-influenced screamo. I believe the goal of each of these native Chicagoans is to play as fast as humanly possible without managing to sound sloppy, as often occurs when bands attempt to play this style of music. Personally, I think they pull it off very well. Lord Snow will be sure to leave you thrashing wherever you happen to be listening to this album. It’s definitely worth a download, so what are you waiting for? Go grab it!
