2013 Heavyweights
1st Place
The Severed Process Facebook
With a plethora of musical talents ranging from jazz to deathcore, The Severed Process sees no limit to writing ability and style. Forming in the spring of 2010 and growing into the five current members, TSP has made a style all their own by showing no fear in attacking the scene and breaking down any metalcore barriers in a no holds barred fashion. Constantly striving to push the limits, The Severed Process breaks the mold of today's metal scene.
2nd Place
Flood The Desert Facebook Twitter
A musician's metal band in the best sense, Flood The Desert display boundless talent on this long-playing EP. It's big (not a single song runs less than five minutes) and definitely showy, but fans of everyone from Led Zeppelin and Rush to Tool and Mastodon will have more than enough to soak in throughout. The trio draws from an overflowing creative wellspring, transitioning from heavy riffing, to prog-rock excursions, to jam-band soloing, all without missing a beat or sounding like they're stretching beyond their range. For the sake of full disclosure, Recoil's own Ryan Cunningham co-produced/engineered/mixed/mastered the very loud and loaded disc, but it's the band's stylistic mastery and relentless power that makes this a must-hear release.
