A Day To Remember – Bad Vibrations 61BOWgG9NCL

Genre: Metalcore
Origin: Ocala, Florida
Label: ADTR Records/Epitaph

Buy now on Amazon.com

People go apeshit for this band. I don't get it, but then again the extent of my metalcore was KSE, Shadows Fall, and that era. Anyway, typical ADTR record, I think. Heaviness, melody, and the back and forth between the two. Soooooo enjoy?

Goblin Cock – Necronimidonkeykongicon 81V0V0cQUXL._SL1200_

Genre: Stoner/math rock
Origin: San Diego, California
Label: Joyful Noise

Buy now on Amazon.com

Rob Crow (Pinback) said he was done with music. Since then he released a new solo album, and finally dropped the another Goblin Cock album. Riffs are low and smokey, while vocals are not. The juxtaposition of math rock genius and stoner rock has always been an interesting one, and for the third time, it was a successful one. This is a favorite of mine for the year, so I'm glad he wasn't as done as he thought he'd be.

Helms Alee – Stillicide 81eAmszV9oL._SL1200_

Genre: Sludge
Origin: Seattle, Washington
Label: Sargent House

Buy now on Amazon.com

The Pacific Northwest is no stranger to sludgy wonderfulness, and this trio are one of the front-runners of the current scene. Their fourth album has the band branching out more than they have before, which is impressive considering just how much they already grew with their previous three records.

Imminent Sonic Destruction – Triumphia A1oOj6ticQL._SL1500_

Genre: Progressive
Origin: Detroit, Michigan
Label: Luxor

Buy now on Amazon.com

This was not a band I was aware of prior to this entry. I dig what they're doing though. This record is soaring, melodic prog with technicality and classical influences throughout. Triumphia is odd title that I hope to be telling people about the more I check out their stuff.

Monkey3 – Astra Symmetry 81eWli91S8L._SL1320_

Genre: Psychedelic Stoner-Rock
Origin: Lausanne, Switzerland
Label: Napalm

Buy now on Amazon.com

Weird name, weird record. This is a record (and band) for those that want something different. I'm very much on board with their unique psych/prog antics, and you should be too.
