Bronx NYC based metalcore outfit Less Than None today release their label debut EP Identity Fading!

From the band:

"Identity Fading is about looking inward. It's about shedding who you used to be and the pain it takes to grow into someone else. This E.P is a hodgepodge of songs about grief,loss, self awareness, reflection, nostalgia and letting go, all in the theme of coming into the next best version of who you will be. I'm hoping these songs resonate with people who are on their own unique path of self discovery and healing."

Music from the upcoming EP was recorded at Backroom Studios in New Jersey and mixed/mastered by Kevin Antreassian (Dillinger Escape Plan). The EP documents a period of growth for the band, as they recently brought bassist and long time friend Arturo Vega to the mix.

Fans of popular acts including A Day To Remember, Atreyu, The Amity Affliction and more will feel right at home with the mix of various heavy styles on the album. It is available on all streaming services and may be purchased as a physical limited edition with bonus download content.

Half Heard Voices have released their latest single, “Sounds of Panic” along with a killer gritty music video!

” ‘Sounds of Panic’ was the first song we tracked for our sophomore EP,” says the band. “We’ve always thought of it as our hardest-hitting song live and love closing with it. That being said, we loved the idea of a live video compiled of clips from various shows to showcase the raw energy of this track.”


Half Heard Voices teamed up with DEDPIXEL MEDIA for the video. Originated in 2019, the group comprises of new singer Alex Conner, guitarists Dillon Baird and Jeremy Sabine, bassist Stefan Sandman, and drummer Patrick Firestein. The track is from their forthcoming EP, titled Twelve Way War, due out on July 8th. The EP is the first body of work showcasing Half Heard Voices with their current singer. 

Half Heard Voices Is:
Alex Conner – Vocal
Dillon Baird – Guitar
Patrick Firestein – Drums
Jeremy Sabine – Guitar
Stefan Sandman – Bass

Today progressive metalcore rockers Less Than None dropped their single Aquarius, harkening back to their emotionally charged vibes from earlier pieces such as Jumper Down.

The track takes on a slower pace, only to break into one of the fiercest anthems seen to date from the group.

From singler Carlos Hiciano:

Bronx NYC progressive metal outfit Less Than None have released their latest single “Aware“ on all major streaming platforms today!  The song is about being present in the moment and surrendering your attachments into the conscious awareness of now in hopes to trigger a spiritual awakening. 

From Carlos (Vocals):

“Aware was a very challenging song to write for me. I would argue it is my most spiritual song,” explains vocalist Carlos. ” Aware is about connecting with your high self through self-awareness. It’s about the differences between ego and the self. You are not our thoughts, you are just the observer of them.“

Music from the upcoming EP was recorded at Backroom Studios in New Jersey and mixed/mastered by Kevin Antreassian (Dillinger Escape Plan). The EP documents a period of growth for the band:

​“If our HANDS ON FIRE EP was our caterpillar phase, then our upcoming EP is our cocoon phase,” explains the band. “We’re in the midst of re-discovering ourselves musically and thematically post-COVID times. Shedding who we once were, and preparing for something greater. Our mission is to continue releasing new and exciting music that impacts everyone, from our closest friends to strangers around the world. Join us as we create a musical escape for audiences to enjoy!“

Fresh off the laurels of their last single "Playa", Montreal rockers Horse Doctor have released their newest single "Sinking" on all streaming services!

The frantic energy of melodic, yet dissonant guitars are guided by the exquisite vocals we've all come to expect from vocalist/guitarist Jake Ward, invoking killer moods akin to seminal post-hardcore/post-rock acts such as The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In, or The Fall Of Troy among many others.

Staccato guitar/bass rhythms are backed by huge, resonating drum percussion throughout the track, with a slower moment to ease us into the explosive blows of the last parts of the track.

Horse Doctor are clearly "...full steam ahead..." towards leaving their legacy in the modern post-punk/post-hardcore landscape; not showing any signs of "sinking" any time soon!
