Gritty, plodding, industrial that sets a disgusting but amazing atmosphere. Collaborations with Doom’s Mick Gordon add the extra flair that EndEx needs to stand out. It’s industrial with pacing. It’s not high volume and speed at all times. There is a mood and pace set. It’s a post-apocalyptic album about the dangers of technology leading to a dark future, much like many other industrial albums. 3TEETH do not reinvent the industrial wheel but some of the hooks and heavy-hitting tracks like Merchant Of The Void stick with you. EndEx becomes hypnotic and once again 3Teeth knows how to play to their strengths. Are you an industrial fan who still hasn’t checked out 3TEETH? This album should help. 8/10

In addition to their world tour and new album, Blink-182 is also celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2023.

The Callous Daoboys will release God Smiles Upon The Callous Daoboys and having already shared the crushing “Waco Jesus,” today the six-piece band drop the mind-boggling “Pushing The Pink Envelope.” The single will make you want to mosh and dance at the same time, as odd time signatures meet rave-worthy synths. Carson Pace’s high-pitched clean vocals bounce off guttural screams, and it’s all just the next step in The Callous Daoboys’ genre-less takeover. The video for the single sequels “Waco Jesus” as the band continue on their Phantom Phinders journey to locate the “suburban spectre.” You can watch the video for “Pushing The Pink Envelope” HERE and stream the track HERE.
The Callous Daoboys “Pushing The Pink Envelope”
Following 2022’s highly praised and chaotic album Celebrity Therapist, God Smiles Upon The Callous Daoboys takes the experimental noise the band have become known for and unleashes it into their most confident body of work yet. Being the first self-titled release in their discography, this three-song collection showcases what this group is capable of – breaking ground in innovative and unconventional songwriting, while seamlessly transcending genre limitations. From careening through chaotic breakdowns to belting calculated TRL-inspired hooks, the band leaves it all on the table, flirting with Nu-Jazz, Nu-Metal, and twisting through Salsa. There’s a brutal honesty to the tracks, with underlying themes of being true to yourself and your art.
The band will join Protest The Hero and Moon Tooth on a North American tour this fall and will head to Europe with TesseracT and Unprocessed in January 2024. Full dates below.
God Smiles Upon The Callous Daoboys can be preordered HERE. The album will be available on 12” 45RPM LPs, limited to 1000 copies across three variants. The deluxe edition vinyl packaging features a matte cover and die-cut jacket with a photograph spot-glossed pull-out insert. This EP is only being pressed one time on vinyl.
“Waco” Variant – Bandcamp Exclusive limited to 200 copies

Grand Rapids, Michigan-based metalcore slingers HOLLOW FRONT recently announced their third album The Fear of Letting Go. It arrives October 27 via UNFD. Pre-order it here.
Today, they have shared the visualizer for the voracious new single “Breaking Teeth.”
The song is as fierce and ferocious as its name suggests — it can knock your chompers right down your through with its intensity! It also features a synthy mid-section, which is an unexpected and thrilling sonic surprise.
“This song is just pissed,” says vocalist Tyler Tate. “It’s one of the heaviest songs on the record, if not the heaviest. When I wrote the lyrics, I was just so fed up with the world and my life in general. It felt like no matter what I did, I could never get ahead. Set back after set back, problems around every corner. It’s annoying having to cope all the time. Living should be simpler. But the society we live in prevents that. We should all be pissed about it.”
This Grand Rapids, MI duo — Tate and Lee Albrecht [guitar ] — emerged from a season of seemingly endless trials and tribulations. Instead of backing down, they transform the chaos around them into unpredictable and undeniable anthems.
“The album is a journey out of feeling helpless in a situation I don’t have control over,” notes Tyler. “I’ve realized the only thing I have control over is the choice to move on and keep going. That’s all I’m doing. I’m not ready to give up yet.”
There’s no reason to…
Hollow Front have consistently captivated audiences by tempering unfettered heaviness with undeniable melodies. The band emerged as a fan favorite with Loose Threads in 2020. After the album tallied 1 million streams during release-week, “Afflicted” eventually racked up over 7.2 million Spotify streams and counting. The 2022 follow-up, The Price of Dreaming, earned widespread critical acclaim. New Noise Magazine hailed it as “a blistering and bruising experience, evoking myriad emotions and conveying a heady and moving blend of euphoria and despair.” Distorted Sound dubbed it “metalcore at its most earnest.” Along the way, they shared stages with everyone from Fit For a King and We Came As Romans to Dayseeker and August Burns Red.
At the same time, the guys weathered one storm after another. A van accident, subsequent financial strife, and lineup shifts left Hollow Front a two-piece by the end of 2022. So, the pair hunkered down and wrote, mixed, and mastered what would become The Fear of Letting Go in its entirety with Lee producing and recording out of his home studio. For the first time, Tyler also assumed both heavy and clean vocal duties.
THE FEAR OF LETTING GO TRACK LISTING: “The Fear Of” “We’re All Left Suffering” “Will I Run?” “Over The Cradle” “Crash & Burn” (Feat. JT Cavey) “Underpressure” (Feat. Dakota Alvarez) “Breaking Teeth” “Stay With Me” “Good Things Never Last” “Letting Go” (Feat. Dakota Alvarez)
Gold-selling hard rockers Of Mice & Men — Aaron Pauley (bass + vocals ), Valentino Arteaga (drums), Alan Ashby (guitar), and Phil Manansala(guitar) — will issue their new album Tether on October 6 via SharpTone. Pre-order it here.
They’ve just shared the third single “Indigo.” Listen to and watch the visualizer here.
“‘Indigo’ is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else — blue also meaning sad,” states Pauley. “It’s about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”
Taking all creative matters into their own hands, the Southern California quartet self-produced and engineered all of the songs on Tether, their astonishing eighth album. Pauley mixed and mastered the album while Arteaga designed and painted the album’s artwork. As a legion of devoted listeners worldwide has come to expect, guitarists Phil Manansala and Alan Ashby, Aaron, and Tino poured their hearts and souls into every note, creating another sonic document of their lives.
“With this one, we weren’t really focused on how it sounded as much as we focused on how it felt,” Pauley explains. “And that’s a weird thing to do when all you’re working with is sound. But that was really the goal. And we walked away from making it, feeling like we’ve accomplished that.”
OM&M take sobering looks at depression, anxiety, loneliness, and existential dread, powering through the darkness, and emphasizing the importance of creativity as a balm for mental health. A commanding tempest of sounds coalesces within Of Mice & Men, blending the uplifting eloquence of modern active rock with the atmospheric dissonance of experimental post-rock. The band first emerged as part of a vanguard of future aggressive rock hitmakers. Over the years, they’ve distinguished themselves with musicality, creative ambition, and resilient determination.
Album eight is no less ambitious. Tether is anchored by a reflective meditation on what it means to draw together as friends, family men, artists, and bandmates. What does it mean to be there for the people who depend on us, knowing we can’t fully protect them from the hardships of life?
Tether is the next step in OM&M’s evolution, combining their core sound with experimental and ethereal sound designs. The creative process focused on the excitement of discovery rather than preconceived “goals.” Pursuing the moments when the elusive “x factor” reveals itself in the songs. Those moments are palpable in songs like “Integration,” “Warpaint,” “Enraptured,” and “Indigo.”
The Of Mice & Men core since 2016 – Aaron, Alan, Tino, and Phil – maintain a powerful bond with their audience and each other, no matter the obstacles. Whether a powerful anthem or atmospheric confession, their songs translate in intimate clubs and massive festivals. “It’s about creating moments for people,” Pauley says. “Music is the soundtrack to people’s lives.”
OM&M will also hit the road with Bullet For My Valentine and Vended this fall. All dates are below.

Riot Fest has always been the festival I hear praised but I had never been able to attend. After seeing the massive lineup earlier in 2023, I was impressed with the number of bands and range in style that Riot Fest boasted for 2023. It’s not a typical rock and metal festival or the overblown Coachella or Lollapalooza. Riot Fest 2023 felt different with a varied lineup. September in Chicago seemed like a good goal for a festival experience.
After working with the great marketing team at Riot Fest, I was able to help advertise the festival in a unique format: Anti-PSAs. These are all based on real events I’ve seen before in past festivals and I wanted to illustrate what behavior should and should not be allowed at Riot Fest. To my huge shock, they showed these Anti-PSAs on the main stage big screens. It was crazy to see my giant head on the big screens telling people to not make out in port-a-potties or mosh while pregnant.
Below you will find a brief breakdown of each band I was able to see each of the three days, along with a video short of footage. It’s my first Riot Fest and I wanted to document the experience.
Day One | September 15th, 2023
Riot Fest 2023 Day One
Foo Fighters headlined Day One on the Riot Stage. Every song was extended by at least one minute to turn hits like “The Pretender” and “Learn To Fly” into jam sessions. The massive group in Chicago made it almost impossible to get through as all attention was on Dave Grohl and company. It adds to that peaceful feeling that while conflicting with the word “Riot”, still seems to fit as a proper closing to Day One.
Turnstile has become a big deal. The effects of Glow On and what the band is doing for hardcore has refreshed heavy music in a brighter way, and that brightness was seen in Chicago. It’s wild to see how much has come from the East Coast group in just a few years. It’s an infectious sound that sticks with you and everyone on stage provided something fun for Friday night. The Taco Bell commercial success is still doing wonders.
My first time shooting The Interrupters live. I had been to several festivals in the past that featured the group but was never able to be up close. In the same realm of brightness as Turnstile but with a different sound, The Interrupters reminded me that ska and upbeat music still has their place in 2023. There is music that you can dance to and still can feature riffs and drum fills. The afternoon turned into a dance party.
After more than six years since seeing Code Orange live for the first time (also in Chicago), I was able to see the group up close and get better photos than my previous work. The band highlighted new songs including material from the past few years off of Underneath as well as songs from the upcoming album The Above. I was also able to speak with Jami about the new self-produced album and the central theme of their work aligns with what Code Orange has tried to do for years, make something different than boring, standard-format rock.
Dad Joke(?) with Code Orange | Riot Fest 2023
Riot Fest featured many emo band revivals and Hawthorne Heights was celebrating 20 years of being a name in emo music. JT Woodruff spoke about how this was something for parents with a bit of grey now being able to relive a time when emo music was a big deal. When MySpace Top 5’s and downloading music off of Limewire was the lifestyle. Friday afternoon was the perfect moment to relive nostalgia from the 2000s.
My Day One experience started with The Bobby Lees. We had played a couple of songs from the newer group on our New Music Nights and when I went to check out the group, it started with the drummer stripping to his undies and rolling around on the stage. The music had punch to it and with no flash or stage production, The Bobby Lees left an impression.
Day Two | September 16th, 2023
Riot Fest 2023 Day Two
I feel that PUP represented the spirit of Riot Fest 2023 well. A punk band that sings about personal life through cynicism but is joyful through the process. The fans watching PUP sang along to the self-loathing. The Canadian export has a wholesomeness to their presentation no matter how bleak the content matter gets and I love it. So did the crowd that afternoon.
Pennywise closed out the Rise Stage and they were the perfect band to wave the more traditional punk banner at the close of Saturday. Early in the set, Jim Lindberg complimented the good-looking photographers in the crowd and asked for a camera to take photos from the stage. After receiving one from a photographer, the entire photo pit agreed that Pennywise was the best band of the entire weekend.
Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls was a great addition to an overcast afternoon. It has been seven years since I last saw Frank Turner live and as I’ve kept up with Turner over the years, it seems like the man has a reinvigorated sense of expression in his performance. Chicago got some good singalongs with Turner as well as crowd surfers as his energy is truly contagious.
This was my first experience with Enter Shikari. After speaking with them briefly backstage and seeing their performance, I appreciated just how much effort Enter Shikari has put in for more than 20 years. Hearing songs from Nothing Is True… and A Kiss For The Whole World helped me acknowledge how the band continues to evolve and experiment with writing. The crowd at the barricade was losing their minds for ES.
Dad Joke with Enter Shikari | Riot Fest 2023
As a recommendation, I was told to check out 100 Gecs who are currently promoting their latest work 10,000 Gecs. The duo came out in purple and yellow outfits but took them off after one song. It was a no-production performance that a massive crowd of teenage ladies were losing their minds to at the Radical Stage. There was a simplicity to this show and it’s no-frills performance while still having a lot of energy.
My Saturday opened with Corey Feldman. That’s a statement I never thought I would say. The crowd was truly huge with thousands waiting for Feldman to perform on the Rebel Stage. Whether it was a forced chant from the backing band of “Here he comes, the Comeback King”, Feldman demanding everyone start over on the same beat, or Feldman saying that cool stuff was being shown on the inflatable screen on stage but couldn’t be seen due to it being broad daylight, it was clear this was a hypnotic show. I truly could not turn away from this. Regardless of technical difficulties, Feldman is still the Comeback King.
My Saturday started with Corey Feldman and ended with Insane Clow Posse. I was familiar enough with ICP to know what to expect: a Faygo shower and rabid Juggalos. I stood in front of a speaker cab and protected my camera from the soda bombs while the group of foul-mouthed clowns sang songs about why the Rebel Flag is awful. The message, though physically messy, was a good one.
Day Three | September 17th, 2023
Riot Fest 2023 Day Three
Seeing and shooting The Cure at the end of Day Three was an honor. The stage setup was fantastic and Robert Smith seemed to truly be captured by the large audience and appreciate how many were there in Chicago. After watching from the crowd I turned around and even saw the skaters from the half-pipe had stopped to watch and listen to The Cure. “Lovesong” still has that effect on everyone decades after release. This was probably my favorite set from the entire festival weekend.
Over 20 years of AFI and Davey Havok seems to have a renewed sense of presence. His appearance on Sunday was something new that I was unfamiliar with and the crowd at the Roots Stage ate it up. This great set featured a lot of the material over AFI’s long career. Riot Fest 2023 featured many emo bands from the past few decades and I think having AFI on one of the main stages was a smart choice. They definitely made a performance worthy of it.
It’s been one year since L.S. Dunes formed, featuring members of My Chemical Romance, Circa Survive, Coheed & Cambria, and Thursday. As the band has new music still coming out, Anthony Greene told the crowd that it’s hard to tell people how they are a REAL band and not just a side project. The music is solid and I think L.S. Dunes has more than enough potential through music alone, even outside of being a supergroup formed from other successful bands.
Overall Thoughts:
Riot Fest 2023 may have been the most well-organized festival I have ever been to. Stages and set times were held to the best of every stage’s ability. The grounds were taken care of even after the heavy rain on Sunday morning. There were trash and recycling bins that were checked to make sure nothing was overflowing into the crowd. The stages were all placed to reduce performance sound from carrying over from one stage to another.
There are some issues seen at Riot Fest that are common with other festivals such as food vendor price-gouging and the stalled ride-share situation after the event. The vendor prices and Chicago traffic are not factors that Riot Fest management has control over and can’t be held accountable for that as most festivals in the US deal with these issues.
Even with the rain delay and mud for Day Three, Riot Fest 2023 was great. From beginning to end, this was a festival made for people to enjoy and it did not feel like a raucous metal fest. This was something young families as well as the metal-loving crowd could enjoy. As far as riots go, this was the most pleasant riot ever.
If it isn’t obvious, I would return to Riot Fest in a heartbeat.
Pop-rock deserves to be better represented by someone other than Jared Leto. Whatever fun riffs or emotions, even occasional hooks you might have had fun with past 30STM, well kiss that goodbye. Boring synth work, voice mods, and the most bland, car commercial music I’ve heard in years. This music is numbing to listen to. I’m convinced that some of these songs were intended to be licensed commercially, and that’s it. At one point you hear Leto claim “Today is the greatest day that I’ve known”. Good for you because my day is ruined now. I now welcome the end of the world because at least that’s the end of this 33-minute album, that feels like an hour. 2/10

Thirty Seconds To Mars It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day Album Review

Like its predecessors, The Surface is an intensely personal and powerful journey for Shomo, who has never shied away from sharing his demons in his music and with his fans. However, the frontman has turned a corner with a more optimistic outlook and demonstrates exceptional growth as both an artist and a human being through the songs that comprise the album.
Today, the band has shared the new single “The Better Me (Feat. HARDY).” Listen here.
This epic collaboration is the product of the mutual admiration for each other’s work and their friendship. HARDY even spoke about looking to Shomo for advice on how to perfect his own sing/scream vocal delivery in a chat with Billboard.
“There are times where we feel like there is a way better version of ourselves somewhere deep inside that we need to find and bring back to the forefront of our lives,” shares Shomo. “This song is about going through the things that brought me to that conclusion. Simply put, I made a choice to be a better me.”
Additionally, all previously released tracks — “Riptide,” “Sunshine!,” “Might Love Myself,” and “Doubt Me” have tallied nearly 54 million total streams thus far.
Both Beartooth and HARDY are currently in the Top 15 on Active Rock radio charts in the US and rising! In fact, Beartooth’s “Might Love Myself” moved up two slots this week and is currently at #15 on the Active Rock radio chart, which is the fastest clip at which they’ve cracked the top 15 in their career.
THE SURFACE TRACK LISTING: “The Surface” “Riptide“ “Doubt Me“ “The Better Me” (Feat. HARDY) “Might Love Myself“ “Sunshine!“ “What’s Killing You” “Look The Other Way” “What Are You Waiting For” “My New Reality” “I Was Alive”
Grammy-nominated extreme power metal legends DRAGONFORCE have unleashed a standalone single, entitled “Doomsday Party”! The 80s rock influenced track is spiced up with hypnotizing retro video game soundscapes and epic guitar solos in true DRAGONFORCE manner. Formed in 1999, the London, UK based unit is known for their epic compositions, and the world’s fastest band’s signature lies in their masterful and lightning-fast guitar solos and inspiration drawn from a myriad of heavy metal styles and fantasy realms, blending 80s rock influences with infectious sing-along choruses and uplifting melodies.
DRAGONFORCE has hundreds of millions of YouTube video views and nearly two million monthly listeners on Spotify (with over 200 million streams on platinum-selling single “Through the Fire and Flames” alone). DRAGONFORCE’s fast-selling North American tour, which begins next month, will feature a fresh setlist and entirely new stage production! The band is joined by special guests Amaranthe, with additional support from Napalm Records labelmates NanowaR of Steel, as well as Edge of Paradise. Get your tickets now before they’re gone, and stay tuned for more new music!
Herman Li on “Doomsday Party”: “We’re super excited to unveil a brand-new DragonForce song after a wait of over 4 years! It was a tough decision to choose which of our new tracks to release first, but we decided on this one because it showcases a different facet of our music while still retaining the unmistakable DragonForce sound. The filming process for this video was a blast, and we had the opportunity to bring our vision to life in the city of Los Angeles, CA. Our hope is that metal fans from all walks of the genre spectrum will find something to enjoy in it. We can’t wait to play this live during our upcoming tour!”
