HEAVYGAZE
Or post hardcore, or shoegaze, or grungegaze or whatever you want to call it.
I think this genre, or just area of music as broad as it is is amazing. I started listening to this whole genre of music through both Deftones, the more metal part of the genre, and bands like Slowdive, actual shoegaze. So this page is devoted to a lot of music but it all sorta has a similar feeling. Some is quiet and mellow, some is full of screams and distortion, but it all sounds really sweet.

ALBUMS

Fleshwater - We're Not Here to Be Loved

Favorite Tracks: Baldplate Driver, The Razor's Apple, Foreign

Oh my god I love Fleshwater. This album is so good, I love it. This is a side project of Vein.fm and it mixes their hardcore sound with dreamy walls of sound incredibly well. Really nails that loud distorted shoegaze mixed with hardcore sound that I love.

Also, their vinyl is awesome it only cost $25 so what a steal considering how expensive vinyl is, it has a pattern (I got the yellow with white and black splotches design), it came with a poster, and it sounds great!!

Full of Hell, Nothing - When No Birds Sang

Favorite Tracks: Rose Tinted World, Spend The Grace, Forever Well

This whole album is honestly pretty surprising as a band as extreme as Full of Hell is a stark contrast against Nothing but they pulled it off really well. The project is able to quickly change between brutal and beautiful on a dime, and sometimes it can be both at the same time like on Spend The Grace. I'd recommend this album and both of these bands, they're both extremely skilled at what they do and are awesome.
