Another mix of bands new and established for you to pick at like the music-loving vultures you are.
Odysseus
Odysseus are a new one on us, coming out of the burgeoning Manchester scene. They’re a female-fronted deathcore act and have been together as a band for around a year now. Click the play button and see what you think… I scares the hell out of me (in a good way).
Dethonator
Intro to this one from the band:
We hope that you are all keeping well during these difficult and uncertain times. Dethonator would like to send you all our best wishes. Please enjoy this acoustic adaptation of our song, “Harbinger”. Written well over a decade ago by Adz, this song has featured in our live set for many, many years. The original crashes straight into the chorus and gets fists pumping the air. When choosing a track to adapt into acoustic, it wasn’t hard to imagine a sensitive version which would really showcase the lyrics and the frankly brooding mood of the song.

Hollow Front
After announcing their g to UNFD at the tail end of 2020, rapidly rising US metalcore outfit Hollow Front are stepping into the new year with “Loose Threads (Reimagined)”. Today’s release finds the four-piece stripping the track back to its acoustic bones and completely amplifying the emotional heart cry within.
Hollow Front vocalist/guitarist Dakota Alvarez shares the searingly personal inspiration behind the track:
“Loose Threads” was the manifestation of a plea/cry towards my best friend succumbing to his mental illness, and almost ending his life. The song was written to express the wave of emotions I felt while reading what could’ve been his last texts, and trying to do everything in my power to get him to hold our bond strong enough to reconsider his decision.
The Rumjacks
The Rumjacks have shared their new single, “Hestia”, the title track and second single to be taken from their album, out on March 12th.
A song of vengeance delivered with the force of a hurricane, the track is a folktale about a girl who shoots down a personified wolf in an act of defence. Draped in several levels of symbolism and metaphor, “Hestia” (named after the goddess of the home and the hearth), is a firecracker of a song, and an absolute earworm.
