Kenstrosity I heard (read:read) some friends talking about this. Thought I would give it a shot. They were right. It is better than it has any right to be. Thoughtful and energetic songs make for an engaging listen every time you visit. Favorite track: Mental Roots.
Arrogant Bastard

Arrogant Bastard Helicase has crafted a spirited EP very much worth your time. The fluid guitar work, lush tones, and experimentation will hopefully herald a new wave for metalcore.
A compelling release from a genre I'd all but written off. Favorite track: Bonsai.
Drew Music

Drew Music NYP gold here. Excellent, energetic and melodic progressive metalcore, something like a beefed up Erra or Sky Written. Seriously good stuff, just buy it already.

Kronos A beautiful flourish of melody and wonderfully articulate sentiment, this EP sends the heart racing. Favorite track: Of Discourse.

Bonsai 03:51
Is it the time that makes you surrender? Or those moments of life that you just can’t remember? This will break down And you will acknowledge the beauty of everything that you can’t do without To witness the end of the earth Begin to uncover the broken past that burdens you, OH!!! Always clinging to the roots of empty space Strung together and entwined while all these Thoughts surround you Always clinging to the roots of empty space (Is there anything to tame this growing mass) Time before you Strung together and entwined like a woven web I want to feel as though every moment is a fascination Opened up the world and the growing space within my crowded mind I can’t help it If this goes unnoticed If this goes unnoticed, will you take the time Take the time to just see that When I was a young man, so full of life, so full of dreams I wouldn’t accept this fate laid out before me Thoughts surround you Always clinging to the roots of empty space So please just take me back, take me back, take me back To a place where time eludes me To a place where time eludes me

Mental Roots 04:42
Where were you when I was lost? A man with a burning desire I needed a prophet to bring me up higher To you But you brought me down And now the stars implode A cosmic reign of terror This world is so alone Let this be Let this be a monument for the lone soul Dismantled, awakened Dismantled, awakened I’m finally home Let this be A flowing stream Through your mind and through your whole being You cannot falter when you face the pain I swear that these moments are here for clarity in time, in time You cannot falter when you feel the strain I swear that through sorrow you will feel this beauty in time, in time Embrace your seclusion You’ll see the hurdle as a stepping stone Embrace your seclusion You’ll see the hurdle as a stepping stone It may seek to pull you down You must let it rupture Blech Let this be Let this be a monument for the lone soul Dismantled, awakened Dismantled, awakened I’m finally home Embrace your seclusion You’ll see the hurdle as a stepping stone Embrace your seclusion You’ll see the hurdle as a stepping stone It may seek to pull you down You must let it rupture

Of Discourse 04:54
I have the mind that breaks down the barriers of time Pushing and pulling, the words I cannot find To tell you what’s inside, I can’t bear the lies These words fall flat they fall with my pride I can’t let go Of these moments, all this time alone Reaching out to find that you don’t know Who I am, who you really are In this realm of undiscovered discourse Constrained, I feel from exploring the numerous complexities Lingering in my thoughts A concept I cannot express Concrete thoughts, lost in the mix In the mix of it all Will you ever notice? Who I am, who you are? Lost in the mix, I cannot falter Lost in my head, why do I bother? Why do I bother? I can’t let go of all these moments To speak, to hear, it makes no difference Outside of this world we find the answers Most we cannot describe Constrained, I feel from exploring the numerous complexities Lingering in my thoughts A concept I cannot express

The Current 05:09
Now I’m standing on a precipice I take one last step The ground leaves my feet I take one last breath Now my mind is set to fly away The current pushing me to stay Weightless, weightless Weightless of all my strain The water rushes through my veins The cold ripples bathe my skin My thoughts dissipate in my head and I can only see The black before me and the light I can be A clarity above I free myself for one last time I long for something feels right When I wash ashore, I feel the wind across my face I’m wanting more, this feeling etched into My perception of a new world, where I can bring to life My creations lost in time How can I go back home? The man I used to be, he’s gone When I wash ashore, I feel the wind across my face I’m wanting more, this feeling etched into my Perception of a new world, where I can bring to life My creations lost in time The water rushes through my veins The cold ripples bathe my skin My thoughts dissipate in my head and I can only see The black before me and the light I can be A clarity above I free myself for one last time I long for something feels right
