International symphonic blackened death metal project Exist In Ruin beautifully combine powerful metal and metalcore with dramatic orchestral elements in a sound they describe as “epic, brutal and symphonic.”

New Band of the Week: Grief Ritual

As someone going through a significant grief process, I can testify that seriously soul-destroyingly heavy music can often be just the tonic. Birmingham trio Grief Ritual offer that in abundance with a fusion of death and black metal, hardcore and metalcore that they describe as “miserable, unrelenting and crushing.” Perfect.
