TEETHONTEETH

"Famine"
exclusive song premiere

For fans of: Malevich, Long.Way.Down, Deafheaven and Underdark

     Hot damn today's new premiere comes from ma boyee Mathew Meyer (plays guitar for Athousandangelsandseven), as he did all the recording mixing and mastering for this as well as the guitar, bass, and vocals, while the drums were performed by Corbin Echtermeyer (aka the new drummer for Athousandangelsandseven). The two also play in Pedestal For Leviathan and Mathew also play in Fatalist, so although this project is different than those, the heaviness, intensity, and sick riffs are on par for what you'd expect from these members. The sound is a mixture of mathy metallic hardcore and sludgy black metal, creating a nightmarish combo that is as pleasant as it is destructive. This is being put out by loveletterstomyvalentine Records and CDs will be coming out soon. Kendrick Lemke (also from Athousandangelsandseven) made the logo.  Preston Weippert of Candy Apple and Of Feather And Bone did the art. 

Mathew has the following to say about the EP:
These 3 songs I have been sitting on for a while and never really fit any of my other projects so I decided I wanted them to be realized because they deserve it and I’ve always been into these ones. Part of it was definitely wanting the challenge of doing almost all of this myself music wise. I’m super proud of how these came out and it was a big leap writing and recording vocals for me. The last song is instrumental, it’s the guitar mic boosted loud enough that you can hear my unplugged guitar over the hum of the amp.  Pretty cool candid little diddy. 

It comes out Friday at midnight aka less than 12 hours from this post!

*** PODCAST #195 Mage Tears ***

    There was a night in mid-2025 when I stumbled upon both Mieke and MAGE TEARS. After connecting with the former, I soon reached out to the latter and all of sudden both bands were set to play ZBR Fest 2026 in Vancouver! That's pretty nuts as Mieke is from New Zealand and Nicole aka MAGE TEARS is from the UK but is currently residing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Nicole plays soft, gorgeous, honest, whispery, acoustic singer/songwriter in the vein of early Alex G, softer Mieke, and Cozy St. Jean and recently released "The World Stops for a Second" and a song on the 'Hiss 2' compilation. A couple o' things we talked about on the podcast: caps on "amazing", helicopters and tears, the Crywank endorsement, playing Skyrim with Grandad and the Mage Tears origin, the creative process of a song, scared of promotion, Dollanganger praise, a new album!?!?!, the Mieke connection, ZBR Fest 2026, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Alex G, Disassociative Youth, The Loner(s), Othiel, Stephen Brodsky, and Saram12Saram. Listen to podcast #195 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.

exclusive song premieres

HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE

Bandcamp

LETTERBOMBS
Bandcamp

orders open March 20th, 2026 via Dancing Rabbit Records,  Engineer Records, Fireflies Fall,  Larry Records, Severed Records, Shove Records & Vamonos Records.

Powerhouse split? You fucking betcha. HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE follow their recent split with Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave (linked here) while LETTERBOMBS are fresh off their Lori split. The former features a member of And Its Name Was Epyon while the former shares two members with piot., giving both bands extensive experience and it shows. I've got one song from each band but the full split features five tracks from each of'em. Palla, the frame of story for this split, was originally written in 2001 by Ted Peterson as an in-game book for Bethesda softworks' The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. Recorded and mixed by the bands in fall 2025, mastered by Logan Rivera.

(2026) HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE "v" (from 'Palla')

https://youtu.be/K_j7d4gt6BY

People are always saying there needs to be more hand-clapping in screamo, so this song starts with that over stick clicks and a lengthy bassline. The song then shifts into a slow, epic climb that brings to mind scaling a mystical mountain...hahaha dead serious. The strained vocals and almost Caution Children-esque lead guitar take center stage until the four-minute mark when things shift and get even more atmospheric with some cool, stunted, rolling drums to help close out the song.

(2026) LETTERBOMBS "ix" (from 'Palla')

https://youtu.be/PY9SvaRAvR4

Like most LETTERBOMBS songs this thing wastes no time going full-tilt, utilizing blazing guitars and non-stop skramz until the 40-second mark when things switch on a dime to melodic post-hardcore not unlike Twins.
