New Music Recommendations

The infamous deathcore duo, Darko US, have dropped what is arguably their best record yet, DETHMASK 3. This album slams into the listener with more chaos and melody than previous releases and delivers the crushing breakdowns we all come to Darko US for. Give it a listen and spin kick the person next to you. FFO: Chelsea Grin, Emmure, See You Next Tuesday, Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza, Lorna Shore.
