So one of the newest sections I created was "Full Album Streams". Not only did this gave folks something to listen to when they are cruising the site (being that the original intention of this site was to acts as a hub to explore), but also a chance for people to explore new artists, new genres, and new albums before deciding to purchase them (also from links on AFGM's site).
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!

"There's no doubt this is among the most anticipated underground metalcore releases this year. This is especially true for our followers, who claimed ERRA as their champion is last year's Metal Madness. ERRA have been steadily traveling the road to metallic glory, putting out a number of releases since their inception in 2009 (not to mention their run under the moniker of By Blood And Iron). This venture to success has been paved with a sweet, Progressive Metalcore sound capable of flawlessly blending supreme heaviness with a melodic approach. But the real cherry on top has always been the band's musical aptitude." -The Circle Pit
