The Measure Of - Is Nothing Sacred

Facebook

Genre: Post-Rock/Shoegaze/Black Metal/Screamo

Year: 2013

Get it!

Check out The Measure Of's new song Is Nothing Sacred. The Measure Of are from Austin TX and play a very layered and experimental style of music. With very haunting, melodic, and mellow riffs there is a very pretty side to this music, but at the same time there is a very harsh, heavy, and mean side to this music with the beating drums and shrill heavy vocals. Which is a very nice combination, ending up into this perfectly written song. -Jacob Rice

Amber are a post-hardcore band from Marburg Germany. They play a very epic, beautiful, and just a very somber style of music. Mixing everything from screamo that sounds like Circle Takes The Square to a very shrill and melodic Black Metal sound. Not to mention this thing is literally just chock full of dirty and badass sludge/post rock riffs. The vocals sound very full, and just hopeless which adds an ever darker feeling to this dark album. -Jacob Rice

Awesome band from PA. These guys play what seems like a more aggressive style of music like The Appleseed Cast and Moving Mountains. As well as sounding like bands like Brand New and Pianos Become the Teeth. This stuff is pretty solid, has its sad soft parts, and its heavy soft parts. Either way this stuff is pretty sad, which I like so what could go wrong! Well written stuff, check it out! -Jacob Rice

I posted this about a month ago and I really still love this stuff. Its solid as fuck Doom/Stoner music. As I said in the last post of these dudes they pull some riffs out that will literally get stuck in your head for hours. They re released this EP with another song! Which is just as badass as the other two. I cannot wait for an actual full length from these guys.

This is a post rock band from my area Springfield Missouri. Its done by this guy named Alex Harris who has been in about a million bands it seems but he is going steady in a few.
