Name-your-price screams 'n' shizznit
A collection of some more (primarily hardcore and its various subgenres) albums that are name-your-price or free on Bandcamp for you guys to investigate :] |
| 1 |  | Apart
Gray Light
Really good screamo from South Carolina. Review more or less covers it. - http://apartsc.bandcamp.com/album/gray-light |
| 2 |  | The Armed
Untitled
The fact that this is up for free download, not even name-your-price, boggles my brain cells. Pissed-off yet controlled hardcore - https://thearmed.bandcamp.com/album/untitled |
| 3 |  | Cannon To A Whisper
Cannon To A Whisper
Really neat South African post-hardcore from 2004. Mixes its poppier and more metallic influences really well to make something both kinda fun and kinda cool - http://thesouthafricanunderground.bandcamp.com/album/cannon-to-a-whisper-ep |
| 4 |  | Discomfort
Worst
Italian vaguely blackened hardcore. I put vaguely because it's not really but there is the odd trace of it here and there; for the most part though, this is just hard, fast, and pissed. - https://discomforthc.bandcamp.com/album/worst |
| 5 |  | Disembarked
I Do Nothing but Regret the Fact That I Left
This is kinda free, in the sense that the Bandcamp has a mediafire file on that has a free download should you want it. This and their full length are both exquisite Swedish screamo albums well worth your time - http://disembarked.bandcamp.com/album/i-do-nothing-but-regret-the-fact-that-i-left |
| 6 |  | Ellorsith
1959
This was reviewed not all that long back and will tell you everything you need to know about this. In short though, it's basically blackened death with a greater focus on atmosphere than riffs. Rules. - https://ellorsith.bandcamp.com/releases |
| 7 |  | Ephemera (SWE)
Ephemera
Fantastic collaborative screamo EP masterminded by a member of Heart On My Sleeve. Made by 12 people who had no influence on what they recorded, just did their bit and sent it on. An interesting concept with a brilliant outcome - http://ephemeraproject.bandcamp.com/album/s-t |
| 8 |  | Fractal Generator
Apotheosynthesis
If you like your death metal slightly dirty, steer clear of this. However, if you don't mind the slightly clean sound then this is an excellent death metal album - kinda like if Wormed were a bit less brutal. - http://fractalgeneratorofficial.bandcamp.com/ |
| 9 |  | Frontierer
Orange Mathematics
Tony Danza worship that feels like being bricked over and over again in the face - https://frontierer.bandcamp.com/album/orange-mathematics |
| 10 |  | Guttersnipe
Pain From The Pines
New Jersey hardcore - if you're vaguely familiar with the scene, you already have a fairly good idea of what this sounds like. Pissed. - https://guttersnipehc.bandcamp.com/album/pain-from-the-pines |
| 11 |  | Hang The Old Year
Hang The Old Year
Really not sure of the best way to describe this. Kinda, progressive rock that feels kinda post-metal influenced but isn't really? It's fucking incredible, whatever it is. - http://hangtheoldyear.bandcamp.com/ |
| 12 |  | Heisse
Leverage of Decomposition
Emoviolence (I think) that goes from being kinda pretty to barely-structured insanity at the drop of a hat. The vocals are that kinda howled scream that just sounds incredible. - http://friendlyotter.bandcamp.com/album/fo-55-leverage-of-decomposition-cs |
| 13 |  | Human Future
Spectrum
The production kinda lets this down a little bit, but interesting songwriting and whatnot makes this a pretty damn great experimental hardcore release - https://humanfuture.bandcamp.com/ |
| 14 |  | Kaddish
Thick Letters To Friends
Just really, really good screamo from Dundee, Scotland. - http://kaddishuk.bandcamp.com/album/thick-letters-to-friends |
| 15 |  | Locktender
Rodin
I have no idea how I missed this being a free download for as long as I did but holy crap. I'm sure all you guys already know this but just in case not, this progressive/post-metal/screamo masterpiece is just... gorgeous. - http://locktender.bandcamp.com/album/rodin |
| 16 |  | Meraine
Demo
Atmospheric hardcore I suppose. Rough around the edges cos it's a demo, but it works for it in a way. - https://meraine.bandcamp.com/releases |
| 17 |  | Messes
Don't Be a Let Down
'That kinda brittle screamo sound that almost doesn't work but winds up being excellent'. Really good stuff from this year. - http://messesky.bandcamp.com/album/dont-be-a-let-down |
| 18 |  | The Milford Higgins
For No Reason
A really bizarre post-hardcore album that's as wacky in its composition as the name and album cover would suggest. Is it jazzy, experimental, wank? God knows, but it comes out great. - https://themilfordhiggins.bandcamp.com/album/for-no-reason-2 |
| 19 |  | Noseblood
Vulture Culture
Really wish this was longer. As it happens, this 2 track EP is shorter than it takes to make a toasted cheese sandwich. It's good stuff though, kinda fuzzy sadpunk. Hope a full-length gets released at some point. - http://noseblood.bandcamp.com/album/vulture-culture |
| 20 |  | O' God the White Whale
Never Knows Best
Emotional hardcore punk done right. A surging, raucous, well written album. - http://ogodthewhitewhale.bandcamp.com/album/never-knows-best |
| 21 |  | Old Skin
Beneath The Trees
An odd mixture of atmospheric crust, screamo and straight-up 'punch your face in'. - https://wehaveoldskin.bandcamp.com/album/beneath-the-trees |
| 22 |  | Quieter
Won't Call Back
I admit the vocals on here are sometimes a bit crap, BUT there's something really endearing about this emo album from Seattle that I can't quite put my finger on. I think. - http://quieter.bandcamp.com/album/wont-call-back |
| 23 |  | Remeo
Laying Siege to My Own Home
Check the review out for this, it explains it really well and more than does it justice. Really, really good post-hardcore/mathcore, done by Sput's Dolving999 no less. - https://remeocivitas.bandcamp.com/releases |
| 24 |  | Shizune
Le Voyageur Imprudent
Great screamo. Starts as it means to finish - kinda pretty, kinda intense, kinda rough. But check it out, cos it rules - http://shizune.bandcamp.com/album/le-voyageur-imprudent-2 |
| 25 |  | Signal (SWE)
Signal
Instrumental sludge/doom/post-rock that escapes being boring with consummate ease. - http://signaldoom.bandcamp.com/releases |
| 26 |  | Systems
Ghost Medicine
The vocals on here make it worth listening just for those. The brilliant song-writing keeps the music more than interesting listen after listen. Sorta Circle Becomes The Square-y I guess. http://systemsnc.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-medicine |
| 27 |  | Time To Burn
Is.Land
I'm sure all you guys already know this [2] but still... aw jeez, ridiculously good post-metal/noise rock with throat-shredding vocals. - https://timetoburn.bandcamp.com/album/is-land |
