10 Years- (how to live) AS GHOSTS

Bands are strange creatures. Members come and members go but some lucky bands manage to get those members back, this is the case for Knoxville alt- metallers 10 Years. After starting out in 1999, releasing two independent records and even hitting high on the charts once they signed with a major label in 2005. After […]

Harbour Sharks “A History OF Violence”

“A History of Violence” kick of with “False Flags“. This is a great opening track and instantly catches your attention with its gritty beat which kicks at you to pay attention. The track has a political underlying message which you should at least listen too. Carrying on from this, “The Killer Inside Me” pushes into a […]

The By Gods – Move On

Nashville Tennesee’s native alt-rock trio The By Gods have channelled a love of all things nineties into their fourth album, Move On. Not content with merely coasting off nostalgia across twelve tracks, they present contemporary issues such as religion, depression, terrorism and social media through distorted vocals and as many fuzz pedals as humanly possible. […]

Through The Eyes Of The Dead – Disomus

Revered technical death metal outfit Through The Eyes Of The Dead are back with their first release in seven years. In today’s volatile musical landscape seven years can feel like seventy and the world of death metal has changed exponentially in their absence. So, what can we expect from the East-Coast metallers in 2017? The […]

Veil Of Maya – False Idol

Chicago sons Veil Of Maya have been around for sometime now, with debut album All Things Set Aside celebrating it’s 10th anniversary last year. Their musical progression in this time has seen them transition away from deathcore into metalcore, and although the heavy vocal stylings associated with the former are present and correct across 6th […]

zhOra – Ethos, Pathos, Logos

Four years after their debut album made a splash in their native Ireland metal scene, the progressive sludge powerhouse zhOra are now poised to release a follow up, Ethos, Pathos, Logos.

Fortify – Valhalla EP

Essex easycore/heavy pop-punk mob Fortify have a new 5 track EP out titled Valhalla which will tug at the heartstrings for the UK pop punk scene looking to find new music. What About Us starts with a washy guitar and drum track gradually the frequency becomes more clear when all the instruments make themselves known […]

Hollywood Undead – V

An early Halloween treat (no trick, we promise) for Hollywood Undead fans out there this Thursday, as it’ll be the release of their brand new album, V. Let’s get right into it. California Dreaming is first up on the album, and a superb track to start the album off. There’s a great use of rap […]

Perturbator – New Model EP

Perturbator wasn’t a name I was familiar with, even with the 70k Facebook followers I’d of thought maybe along the lines I would have heard of this, but to find out this EP was the works of a self proclaimed ‘Reigning Master of Darksynth’ I guess I was in for a surprise to take up […]

Satyricon – Deep Calleth Upon Deep

Satyricon have been a band for over 25 years now, during which time they have transitioned from a black metal band into more of a hybrid incorporating large elements of traditional heavy metal.  Deep Calleth Upon Deep is their ninth full length record, and for a band that plays such expansive music it was completed […]

Noija – Colourblind

Swedish alt-rockers, Noija, formed in late 2016, and in the short time they’ve been together, they’ve crafted a reputation with just a debut single, and their debut album, ‘Colourblind‘ only further expresses the immense potential they have. ‘Untitled‘ opens the album with a synth-filled beginning with calming vocals, easing you in to what turns out […]

I The Mighty- Where the Mind Wants to Go/ Where You Let it Go

I The Mighty have been around a while now. The groups roots go back as far as 2007 and their story flows from an ill fated debut which was swallowed up by a collapsing record label to the current day where they can be found playing big shows in the UK and US. They’re a […]

Thumpermonkey – Electricity

Thumpermonkey’s new EP Electricity is a 4 track EP which attempts to capture the personality of the quartet. The EP focuses on what could be considered a concept or at least thematic basis of human foolishness. Unfortunately the alt rock four piece struggle to achieve much on this EP with each track falling rather flat. […]
