First Release from a newly formed UK beatdown band. With slow chugging riffs throughout, and plenty of slams and breakdowns to keep the aggression high throughout the record, this may be what the UK scene has been looking for; a straight up beatdown band who sound heavy as FUCK. definitely one to keep an eye on. Grab a tape out on Slow it Down records, or get the download for free on their bandcamp.

1. Pyramid Head

Down-Tempo band hailing from North-East UK. Another release from Witch Hunter Records, maybe the first down-tempo band from them(I may be wrong) but definitely a release worth getting, this album has so much energy, personality, and emotion. As well as being an album you can get down to and be a mosh wizard, these dudes rip out some balls to the wall heavy riffs and some cool ominous/melodic riffs. Pretty rad lyrics as well. These dudes sound somewhere similar to like Brutality Will Prevail(Sleep Paralysis), but sometimes not really, these guys really honestly have their own kind of sound and you should check it out.

This is one of my favorite bands in hardcore right now, if not my favorite. These guys bring such a ambient and evil feeling on every single one of their albums. It literally makes me get goosebumps when I listen to their songs. I wasn't sure how they were going to top Sleep Paralysis but my god. They some how did. This release is a masterpiece to me. It has everything I need. Please check this out and support these guys.

Okay, this band fucking rules. They take some pointers from Brutality Will Prevail for sure. Heavy as fuck, while at the same time being so melodic that it just sends shivers down your spine. You know those slow haunting guitar parts that Brutality Will Prevail does? Yeah those are in this and these dudes fucking pull it off perfectly. This band is just so rad, they even throw in some damn sludge/doom parts. Like in Hindsight, and Mouches Volantes there are parts in the song that literally sound like Sleep. I love this stuff. Mosh.
