Portland spiritual metalcore band FALLSTAR have released a new song from their upcoming Facedown release (and fourth album) Sunbreather. The first really huge sounding melodic yet heavy song I have heard in 2021, I found it a gripping blend of styles with commercial appeal via the excellent and hard to pull off performance by Chris Ratzlaff but still anchored strongly to the underground.

Band Spotlight
There are some bands more adept at riding the chaos than others in the storied history of underground music. From noise and hardcore pioneers like Steel Pole Bathtub to Man Is The Bastard to synth/indie/post-core bands like Six Finger Satellite to numerous grindcore bands like Fuck The Facts, etc.- some groups just embody the concept of "fuck it/let's really go for it" more than others. NY's Black Mesa sits proudly in that same spirit of frenzy and ferocious inventiveness, as evidenced by their recent compilation of insanely manic live performances. Whatever sub genre they throw in the emotional blender, you are bound to enjoy a deliciously nutritious smoothie of muddy sonic punk purée.
