The people at Bloodstock Open Air Festival are really spoiling us for the 2014 installment of the festival. Not only have they given us first the mighty Emperor and then the legendary stoner metal of Down as two of the headliners, they’ve now gone and added another three quality acts to the event. First up…
Dangerkids are a 5-piece band from Ohio who were formed in 2012. Having gained considerable attention they were signed up by Rise Records and have recently released an album titled ‘Collapse’. This record has proven evident the group have found the perfect blend of genres between electronic music, rap, rock, hardcore and some nu-metal. Dangerkids…
Tonight’s show was a Bowling For Soup acoustic show with a difference; an all seated audience in the virtually sold out beautiful Union Chapel in Islington seemed a fine choice for one last farewell from Jaret, Erik and their acoustic guitars. There was also a DVD to be filmed, something made fairly obvious by the…
The wait for Trivium’s large, hardcore UK fanbase is over! More than two years after In Waves hit Mp3 and CD collections Matt, Paolo, Corey and Nick have returned with Trivium’s sixth full length album Vengeance Falls. The album, released through Trivium’s long time record label Roadrunner Records is available at HMV and Amazon (get…
Occasionally metal bands get the chance to do something different, and Rocksins is all for it when they do and as far as these things go, this one is pretty cool. London five piece progressive / math metallers The Safety Fire have been described as “thinking man’s metal”. Well, the boys are about to get…

Debut album ‘The Imperial Skies’ binds together a huge variety of…
This year has already seen great chart success in the UK for the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Paramore, Five Finger Death Punch, Black Sabbath and Avenged Sevenfold (with the latter two acts each racking up a number one album). Last week Alter Bridge slammed their way onto the top ten UK album charts…
Having previously caught up with Five Finger Death Punch’s six string player Jason Hook backstage at the Download Festival in June (read that interview here), FFDP returned to the UK on a press trip at the end of August. Rocksins was lucky enough to have some time with Jason once again, so we sent Fran…
Since the release of their second album The Union Of Crowns last year, Bury Tomorrow have quickly risen up the ranks in the UK Metalcore scene. Tonight marks the final night of their biggest headline tour yet and with this show being completely sold it out it was definitely going to be a special one for the band. First…
Hang The Bastard are currently one of the UK’s finest metal bands. They may not yet have the mainstream exposure of their friends Sylosis, or some of the other bands flying high such as While She Sleeps or Bury Tomorrow, but 2013 has been Hang The Bastard’s best year to date. The crowning moment of…
