All At Sea - Atonement

Something a little different than usual I suppose, All At Sea are a metalcore band from Cambridge, Ontario who play a brand of metalcore similar to early Atreyu, Bleeding Through and August Burns Red. Atonement came out in August of 2016 and offers up 6 tracks of soaring melodic metalcore that fans of any of those bands would be interested in.

Holy Grinder - Eradicate All Scum

This was one of my favorite releases from Ontario last year. Featuring members of Goth Girl, Madtrapper, War Balm, and The Blind Surgeons Operation, Toronto's Holy Grinder come out swinging with their debut album "Eradicate All Scum". This release calls to mind early Full Of Hell releases or material similar to their collaboration with the Body. There's swells of noise and suedo ambience inbetween blastbeats and some of the thickest bass you can imagine. Highly recommended, don't fuck up, check it out.

Toronto's Cold Shoulder seemingly came out of nowhere and destroyed everything around them. Recorded at Jettomars Studio in Granada Hills, California by Nick Jett,Clocking in around 13 minutes, T.O.H.C. serves up 4 tracks of modern hardcore that fans of Stick To Your Guns, Exalt, and Comeback Kid should be all over.

Twin Rivals - 2016 Demo

Twin Rivals are a melodic hardcore band from Toronto, Ontario. Their 2016 demo is 4 tracks of blistering hardcore that fans of bands like Defeater, Counterparts and early Stick To Your Guns should be into. This one's been on repeat since I found it last month and I highly recommend checking it out, big things coming from these guys.

Punisher - World Eater

Formerly known as Purgatory, Keswick's Punisher play a brand of heavy beatdown hardcore that fans of bands like Desolated, Xibalba, and Drowning should be into. World Eater came out last May and offers up 7 tracks of mosh worthy riffs. If you had to check out just one track I would recommend the title track, it's a complete shitkicker and leaves you wanting more. Check these guys out now and show them some love.
