Arch Enemy are in something of an unenviable position.

So, the…
Well we didn’t see this coming this morning! Architects have returned with an absolutely blistering new song called Doomsday, their first new material since the death of founding member Tom Searle from cancer last year.

The new album is titled The Sin And The Sentence,…
For a couple of weeks, Architects‘ Sam Carter has been hinting at a huge UK show, or shows, on Twitter. It seems the posters put up around the Reading Festival site, now that the gates are open, have provided the answer! Architects are set to headline their biggest ever UK show to date at London’s…
So, here we are at last, the final part of Rock Sins coverage of the 2017 Download Festival. Having covered all the other stages for the full three days of the event, lastly we’re focusing on Sunday’s fun and games from the main stage. Before we launch in, if you’d like to catch up with…
