Sleep Token are, according to them, ‘an entity unlike any encountered before’. They are, apparently, the representatives of a deity known as Sleep. They maintain an anonymity similar to that of Ghost (before they all started taking each other to court), with strange marked masks and interviews seemingly just a vessel to convey further information […]
Australian six-piece Make Them Suffer released their album Worlds Apart on July 28th. The album is full of catchy hooks, anthemic choruses, and it’s almost worlds apart from their previous albums. ‘First Movement’ opens the album, and immediately sees the band move away from their deathcore roots, onto something a little more progressive. Their style is more melodic […]
Bad Solution‘s The War Within brings you squealing guitars, thunderous riffs and a mix of aggressive yet melodic vocals, in a classic yet exciting metal fashion. A true blend of rock and metal. Musically genius. The vocals do lack slightly for me in places and could compliment the music/emotion/themes more, but just when I start […]

Birmingham’s technical metal wizards Oceans Ate Alaska are set to release their new album ‘Hikari’ today. An interesting fact; the album was named from the Japanese word for ‘light’.

After overcoming numerous hurdles along the way, Birmingham metalcore outfit A Promise To Forget are ready to drop their debut album Dying To Live in August.

Bristol based alt-rockers White Noise Radio formed in 2014 and released their first EP last spring.
