Every Friday, we challenge ourselves to sift through new music releases and curate a list of albums we think you should be listening to. 

This week begins with Imminence's powerful album, The Black, where they unleash a visceral blend of metalcore intensity, delving into themes of inner turmoil and personal transformation. Metz ascends to new heights with Up on Gravity Hill, delivering a relentless onslaught of noise rock energy and sonic experimentation. English Teacher presents This Could Be Texas, a mesmerizing journey through indie rock landscapes and dreamy textures. Greyhaven confronts the complexities of modern life with Stereo Grief, offering a cathartic blend of post-hardcore aggression and melodic sensibility. Lastly, Nia Archives captivates with Silence is Loud, an immersive sonic experience that defies genre boundaries, exploring themes of identity and empowerment.
