May 10, 2024 Release Highlights:

Sebastian Bach, Child Within The Man (Reigning Phoenix):
The former Skid Row frontman’s first solo album in nearly ten years, Bach
called his latest “the kind of rock n’ roll that keeps you young.” 

Hot Water Music, Vows (Equal Vision):
Celebrating 30 years as a band, the punk band created an album around the
theme of growth that features guest appearances from members of Turnstile, Thrice, The Interrupters, City And Colour and more.

Knocked Loose, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To (Pure Noise):
The metalcore band’s third full-length is supposed to be one of their most eclectic, with guitarist Isaac Hale saying in a
press release, “On this album, we go the fastest we’ve ever gone; we go the scariest we’ve ever gone. We also go the catchiest and the most melodic that we’ve ever gone, and that’s the point.”

Like Moths to Flames, The Cycles of Trying to Cope (UNFD):
On their sixth studio effort, the metalcore band gets personal while exploring various coping mechanisms.
Said singer Chris Roetter of the album, “The record encapsulates the many varying emotions we go through when trying to grow through life. The last few years, I really tried to harness some of those emotions as a catalyst to get through whatever I was going through at the time.”

Shannon and the Clams, The Moon is in the Wrong Place (Easy Eye Sound):
Produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, the indie-rock/garage punk band’s seventh studio album was informed by the passing of frontwoman Shannon Shaw’s fiance. 

Six Feet Under, Killing for Revenge (Metal Blade):
The prolific death metal band release their 14th studio effort, a revenge-themed record which
their bio calls “as brutal, lyrically visceral and musically dazzling as one would hope for.”

Sonic Universe, It Is What It Is (earMusic):
Living Colour vocalist Corey Glover and Adrenaline Mob guitarist Mike Orlando debut their new project with an
eclectic album featuring a mix of funk, jazz, rock and metal influences that defies genre.
