Light Bearer - Lapsus [2011/320]

Comprised of members of Fall of Efrafa and Dungeons, Light Bearer takes the post-hardcore sounds of Rinoa and Envy, and blends it with post-rock melodies that give it it's own unique sound. This is a must-listen for 2011, and it's easily one of my favourite albums of the year, if not my favourite.

Gridlink - Orphan (2011)

Grindcore

V0

You know who this is? I know who this is, it's one of the best grindcore bands I've ever heard. That's who it is. And if you haven't of heard of who this is then I suggest you get this album and Amber Gray (Which I will post/repost? later.) And if you don't like who this is, then thats ok too.
