New Music Recommendations

The one man band from Australia, Cave Sermon, easily dropped one of my favorite records of 2024. Somehow, the metal mastermind, Charlie Park, is back with another incredible record. Fragile Wings is a beautiful piece of melodic and blackened death metal. It blows my mind that one person made this. Give it a listen. FFO: Mastodon, Deafheaven, Ulcerate, Glassing, Wolves In The Throne Room.
