Crush Em All: Veil Of Maya, After The Burial, Within The Ruins, Misery Signals
Obscura Headlining Tour: Obscura, Abysmal Dawn, Last Chance To Reason, Enfold Darkness

Apostate - Metal's Great Young Hope

Hailing from the Czech Republic, the epic, technical, crushing and confounding metal that Apostate plays is one of the most refreshing sounds in the scene right now.  A perfect blend of speed, chops, brutality, breakdowns, and ambiance, their debut EP Seaborne sounds like it belongs on Sumerian Records. Still don't believe me? Check out this amazing video of their creative drummer performing the instant classic, "Omit The Words." Then go grab their album on iTunes! Word is they are preparing for a new album...can't wait guys!

Make Them Suffer's Symphonic Deathcore

Australia has produced some mighty fine metal bands (Parkway Drive, Resist the Thought, Feed Her To The Sharks, Curse At 27, Vegas in Ruins), but quite possibly the most interesting of the bunch are the black metal worshipping deathcore kvltists in Make Them Suffer. Blending beautiful piano, soaring strings, and even choirs with intense blastbeats and brutal breakdowns, these guys make for incredibly entertaining listening and great songwriting. Go buy their fantastic EP Lord Of Woe on iTunes! And check out the new single...I'm already starved for a new album.
