The Austerity Program – Bible Songs 2 [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]
“Speak to enough musicians in the underground who favor the sonically depraved, and you might hear word of two New Yorkers, who emerge now and then from the doldrums of normal life to unleash their unique brand of sonic chaos upon the unsuspecting masses. I’m talking, of course, about The Austerity Program, the criminally underrated duo of Justin Foley and Thad Calabrese who have delivered some of the greatest noise rock records of the 2000s.” Bibles, poverty, and noise.

ByoNoiseGenerator – Subnormal Dives [Things You Might Have Missed 2025]
“Me, falling in love with a jazzgrind record? Of all the things that surprised me this year, that takes the cake by a wide margin. Of course, it follows that the band responsible for this change of heart is no less than my (formerly) least favorite act in the turboniche subgenre, Russia’s ByoNoiseGenerator.” Panic at the jazzgrind emporium.
Wolves – Self-Titled Review
“Remember when hardcore was, like, hardcore? Wolves does. The generically named yet tongue-in-cheek UK hardcore gang makes antiestablishment music cool again, but not in the tired way. It’s not the noise-and-noise-only approach of early punk’s darlings Sex Pistols or Black Flag, but it ain’t pop-punk’s catchy anthem either. It’s jerky, jagged, unhinged, and doesn’t give a fuck about your feelings – it’s angular! But it’s also melodic, heartfelt, and overwhelmingly sincere.” There are two wolves inside you. This is one of them.

Benthos – From Nothing Review
“It’s sexy when things you love collide with things you hate. My lust for mathcore is well-established – I go hard for that mind-numbing dyscalculic tinnitus any day – but if you put a slab of prog metal in front of me, I’m gonna go as flaccid as a gummy worm in a hot car faster than you can say “Wilderun.” That’s Benthos. The Italian collective slides a platter of progressive rock’s lush, ambivalent, and emotive movements alongside mathcore’s jagged edges and feral energy, and you’re guaranteed to find something you’ll love and hate – and get hot and bothered by.” The fresh maker.

Here’s a special look back at all the best mathcore madness you might have missed in 2024. We do this because we care about math.
Glassing – From the Other Side of the Mirror Review
“No one does music quite like Austin’s Glassing. Nearly impossible to pigeonhole in its blend of jagged riffs and crystalline melodies, critics have conjured the likes of post-metal, post-black, post-rock, mathcore, shoegaze, sludge, noise rock, screamo, and post-hardcore to describe it – none ever quite sticking the landing.” Square pegs, round holes. FIGHT.
