This song is for anyone who's ever been trapped in a nightmare. "SLEEP" is out now.

Hey everyone!

We're Here Before, a modern metal band, and we just released our new single, "SLEEP."

The song is inspired by the feeling of being trapped between nightmares and reality—drawing from experiences like sleep paralysis, anxiety, and the battles that happen inside our own minds. We wanted to create something that's both heavy and emotional, with a strong focus on atmosphere, powerful riffs, and an impactful message.

We'd genuinely appreciate your honest feedback, especially on:

Songwriting and structure

Vocals and lyrics

Guitar work

Mixing and mastering

Overall vibe and production

No pressure to like it— If you enjoy modern metal with melodic and heavy elements, we'd love to hear what you think.

Thanks for taking the time to listen. Every comment helps us grow!

Oregon Metal Spotlight #3: Maggot Sorcerer (Oregon/Washington area)

Today’s band: Maggot Sorcerer

These guys describe themselves as “Scooby-Doo Groove Metal,” and honestly, that’s one of the most accurate band descriptions I’ve ever heard.

Every state has bands that should be getting way more attention than they do. For Oregon, Maggot Sorcerer is one of them.

Psychedelic artwork, GodTier song titles, crushing riffs, and a sound that feels like a haunted cartoon soundtrack got trapped inside a metal album.

My personal favorite track is “Centipede Woman.” That song is absolutely brutal and has been stuck in my head for days.

If you’ve never checked them out, do yourself a favor and give them a listen.

What’s the most underrated Oregon metal band you’ve found recently?
