  • PRESIDENT Unleash Spine-Tingling New Track ‘Mercy’

    PRESIDENT are back once more with another new track, diving deeper into the beauty and brutality that is coming to define the project.


    Titled ‘Mercy’, it’s a track that soars as much as it rips and tears. Brimming with gorgeous melodies, angular chords and throat-shredding refrains, it’s a song that feels absolutely massive in scope and sound. From crystalline to calloused with the flick of the wrist, it dives deeper into the fascinating and fantastical universe which the band is building out day by day.

    PRESIDENT had this to say about the track’s sentiment, stating, “Throughout history, religion has been tied to profound division and loss. This song is a reflection on that reality, and a way for me to come to terms with what it means on a human level.”


    The track comes hot on the heels of ‘Angel Wings’, which was released last month and sounds a lot like this:

  • EP Review: Broken Habit “Nightshade”

    EP Review: Broken Habit "Nightshade"

    Irish metalcore act Broken Habit have just released their latest EP "Nightshade" on December 12th, 2025.

    The EP bursts directly into action with the first track "Reign" introducing itself with slamming guitar chugs and bending notes as explosive drums and low screams create an instantly brutal sound. High guitar lead melodies soon join the fray as vocals shift between low growls and high screams, creating a dynamic sense of contrast. Clear metalcore influences can be heard right off the bat, but I also notice a lot of inspiration from death metal in Broken Habit's music as well. Halfway through "Reign" the band builds into a fierce breakdown as crushing chugging and vocals create a beat that will leave your head bobbing as the tempo continuously slows before ending with a final "bree".

    Next is the title track, "Nightshade", which begins with a distorted female vocal sample that creates an eerie atmosphere before catapulting into raw screams and blistering guitar riffage. Broken Habit has a mix that sounds polished and modern but also feels almost nostalgic to 2000s death metal and metalcore acts, creating a sound that balances modern production with a sense of familiarity. "Nighshade" leads into a particularly brutal breakdown with downtempo chugs that remind me of deathcore before jumping back into the chorus featuring anthemic clean vocals and bright guitar harmonies that are contrasted by alternating screams.

    "World Eater" begins with ringing guitar feedback as it quickly introduces bright metalcore dueling leads and rapid choppy chugging patterns, creating an upbeat pacing that is met by fast, screamed vocals. The song's chorus features raspy spoken-screamed vocals in a unique style before leading into a bridge that slams into a booming breakdown with an unhinged scream. At just over 5 minutes, "World Eater" is the longest song of the EP, keeping things interesting with 2 seperate breakdowns, the second of which grows more and more intense as eccentric screams create a brutal and off-the-wall sound that reminded me of acts like Paleface Swiss.

    "Forevormore" starts with catchy guitar chords and distant singing before launching into a classic metalcore style galloping guitar riff that sets the tone for the track. Explosive screams are backed up by energetic guitar chords as singing and screaming vocals swap back and forth, creating a great sense of variety between the two styles.

    The first two tracks, "Reign" and "Nighshade" stood out the most to me and I think that fans of extreme metal genres like death metal, deathcore, and metalcore will certainly enjoy the EP. You can stream Broken Habit's newest EP, "Nightshade" available on all platforms now.

  • EP Spotlight: Object Unto Earth – Memory Tyrant

    Out March 20, we present to you Object Unto Earth’s recent EP, Memory Tyrant, out via self-release. We also chatted with the project mastermind about the EP.

     

    Object Unto Earth is the solo project of songwriter/producer Jonathan Zajdman. A thematic and sonic follow up to last year’s The Grim Village, Memory Tyrant features members from Object Unto Earth’s 2025 live band and brings listeners on a modern prog-rock journey through headbangable riffs, earworm melodies, and heartfelt storytelling.

    The EP was co-produced by Zajdman and Seanan McCullough of Helvete Sound, the recording studio of record for some of Portland’s hardest hitting bands.

    “The first Object Unto Earth record was written over the course of two years as an exercise in building composition and production chops, but over time, it turned into this intimate, therapeutic endeavor,” says Zajdman. “That album was about a reckoning I had after a lot of personal upheaval and ultimately moving past what had been a very negative relationship with myself. 

    “Our new EP is a continuation of the same musical experimentation and personal lyricism, but it was written and recorded much faster to capture the energy my live band had playing shows this last year. And to me, feels like an expansion on what that first record achieved sonically and thematically.

    “I think our calling card as a band is the ability to write dense prog rock that’s easily listenable, and this first single has become one of my favorite Object Unto Earth tracks as a good sampling of that.
