Kentish five-piece metalheads, Feed the Rhino, have released their newest album, ‘The Silence‘, which has been described as a ‘sonic bombardment that feels like a series of body blows to the gut from a heavyweight bare-knuckle boxer’. Their 11-track 4th album sees the band progress from their 2014 release, ‘The Sorrow and the Sound‘, and […]
Tonight saw Asking Alexandria and Black Veil Brides– with excellent support from German sextet To the Rats and Wolves – descend on Manchester. Outside the Academy 1 venue, fans queue eagerly for hours – a fair few sporting black face paint in homage to BVB. Whilst the need for increased security is understandable and necessary, […]
Manchester horror metallers The Dead XIII are back with their second album Dark Days, the anticipated follow-up to 2015’s Catacombs. An atmospheric start to the record with the synth-laden intro to Bloodlines, before an onslaught of metal riffage accompanied by Kurt Blackshard’s horse vocal delivery. Title track Dark Days has a hint of Creatures-era Motionless […]

Hotel Books‘ heart-wrenchingly poetic album, Equivalency will be released in the UK and Europe on February 9th. This album, above anything, is a story. Intense, painfully honest, cathartic lyrics broken up by clips of phone calls, mechanical voices, and conversations, which only adds to the experience. You’re taken on a compelling journey, exploring love, fame, and […]
Machine Head’s new album Catharsis is a mixture of hits and misses. As a whole it feels more like a collection of singles. With each song sounding like it has been plucked from a different part of the bands 25 year career. Despite this slight lack of cohesion each song still carries a distinct Machine […]
Kerbera are the new generation of Swedish rock and they have the look and the sound down to a tee as latest record People Like You shows. The record is a calming dose of alt-rock and each track follows the same themes with a distinct lack of variation, however, with how chill the vibe is, […]
Story Untold are set to release their debut album Waves on 2nd February. Story Untold are described as pop punk, but are more for fans of As It Is and bands of that ilk rather than Blink 182 or even Fall Out Boy. The quintet’s debut album is monotonous and instantly forgettable. And with Warped […]

[…]

The anticipated return of The Dangerous Summer who are set to release their fourth full length studio album and first since going on hiatus in 2014 has been dubbed the ‘self titled’ so I’m expecting to hear something special.
