ALL MY ANGELSSPEED

SPEED – ALL MY ANGELS (OFFICIAL MOVIE)

Formed in Sydney in 2019, the hardcore band—whose 2024 album “Only One Mode” won an ARIA Award and drew global attention—has released a new three-track EP in October 2025.

The record centers on a theme of tribute and love for three friends their community has lost in recent years, conveying a message of unconditional love even as it looks unflinchingly at the pain of loss.

Their heavy sound—melding the steeliness of Australian hardcore with the groove of NYHC—is as potent as ever here, and the spring-loaded riffs, thunderous breakdowns, and hook-laden choruses generate a breathtaking surge of energy.

Channeling anger, sorrow, and respect for their friends through sound, this release stands as a masterpiece that captures where they are now as they race at the forefront of the hardcore scene.

ACOLYTE OF THE ONEThe Acacia Strain

The Acacia Strain – ACOLYTE OF THE ONE (Official Visualizer)

The Acacia Strain, an extreme metal band from Massachusetts.

Often discussed through both deathcore and metalcore lenses, they have, since their formation in 2001, wielded downtuned low-end and breakdowns to depict an apocalyptic worldview.

This track, included on their album “You Are Safe From God Here,” released in October 2025, is a number that sonically embodies the peril of blind devotion and violence while cloaked in religious motifs.

Vincent Bennett’s screams and Devin Shidaker’s ultra-low riffs generate an overwhelming sense of mass, answered by Matt Guglielmo’s tight drumwork, superbly fusing hardcore’s straight-ahead drive with doom’s viscous heft.

It’s a weighty sound where rage and nihilism intersect—perfect for listeners seeking intensely heavy music.

This instrumental piece, released in October 2025 by world-renowned Canadian electronic producer deadmau5, serves as a lead single ahead of his first studio album in about a decade, slated for 2026.

With delicately layered synths, cinematic expansiveness, and commanding sound design, its structure elegantly fuses the melodic lyricism of his early classics with the atmospheric processing of his recent work.

Equally suited for club play and home listening, this track has a timeless quality and is highly recommended for fans of progressive house and melodic techno.

Conan Gray – Alley Rose (Official Lyric Video)

Conan Gray, whose father is Irish American and mother is Japanese, also spent part of his childhood living in Hiroshima, and his later years in Texas shaped his musical style.

This track from his April 2024 album Found Heaven is a piano rock ballad reminiscent of Elton John in the ’80s.

Written about his experience of being broken up with via text while in London, Gray himself calls it his “first love song,” and it’s a warm, heartfelt piece.

If you’re a middle schooler nursing a broken heart, give it a listen.

DJ Premier x Ransom – Amazing Graces (Official Music Video)

A long-awaited collaborative track by legendary producer DJ Premier, whose name is etched in hip-hop history, and Ransom, a rapper sharpened in New York’s underground.

Released in October 2025 as the lead single from the album “The Reinvention,” the track flawlessly fuses DJ Premier’s signature boom-bap style with Ransom’s razor-sharp lyrics.

Drawing on hard-won experience from the streets and unwavering skill, Ransom’s uncompromising bars are nothing short of stunning.

The song is also slated to appear on the official soundtrack for NBA 2K26, poised to reach gaming fans as well.

If you love ’90s East Coast hip-hop, this is a can’t-miss cut.
