Crank it to eleven: Slippery When Wet's Bullies in the Schoolyard gets in your face and your space, while their Young Studs in Black Leather pays hot tribute to Chicago's leather-clad faithful. syn.terra's Aeon / Moongrind grooves through industrial jazz and heavy swamp metal — brass wail over earthen piano and wetland synthesizers — and Quizboy's Untitled Project 1 keeps the manic anger aged to perfection. Sylenced's Seven Sins brings dark, polished metalcore with brutal breakdowns mixed by Sky van Hoff, and Shadows of my Doubts' Beginning of the End traces a life's journey through 80s-infused symphonic shadows.

“Downtempo experimental electronic created with only guitars and zero effects of any kind”
“This album is an 80's infused mix of songs from slower low key tunes to harder hitting symphonic songs”
“Bullies in the schoolyard, bullies on the playground. Takin' your lunch, takin' your change. Your face they want to rearrange”
“Grooving swamp rock with brass tremble-and-wail over earthen piano, crunching guitars, stomping drums, and wetland synthesizers.”
