Full album streams seem to be a new fad that a lot of internet savvy people are jumping on. It can be in the form of a Soundcloud widget, a YouTube playlist, or even a single YouTube video. This often gives record labels a chance to promote new artists and for people to subscribe to their social media pages. So hopefully this provides you access to some new music, bands, and/or artists. Cheers!
PS - Feel free to send us an email if you have any albums you think you should be on this list or a new one coming out we missed. We're always listening!

The Safety Fire have implemented more melody and clean vocals into their sound as they expanded it. This may serve as a detriment to them for the listeners that look down on all that, but I see this as a vast improvement. Grind The Ocean was one of those albums that required a few listens to get into. Sean McWeeny's screaming vocals were more prevalent then, and they do work, but not as the prominent vocal choice. They are more effective in much more modest doses like they are presented on Mouth of Swords. Also, there are so many memorable melodies vocally and musically on this record, where there just weren't so much last year. There's more of a reason to keep coming back since it gets stuck in your head much easier. -Metal Injection
