Self-proclaimed “meowcore” band Stain the Canvas implement all the colors in their electronically enhanced palette on Honey Rot. Multifaceted vocalist Bryan Marte and his metalcore crew bring modern R&B vibes and anthemic choruses to arena-aspiring singles “what are we now ?” and “Inevitable.” Cavernous dance production provides an ominous backdrop to “Seal My Soul,” while grinding industrial sonics propel “554th.” Stain the Canvas mix it up with Italian rapper KLAUS NOIR on the pastel revenge fantasy “GATTINI,” before collaborating with Dutch/Slovak deathcore dealers Distant on “Vultures” and Bethany Curtis of British pop punk stars As December Falls on “stupid boy.”
