The opening duo of tracks, Zombie Apocalypse and Too Mean To Die, are chock full of growling guitar riffs, screaming solos and those now trademark gravelly vocals from Mark Tornillo. The title track especially is a whirlwind concoction of…
With Lonely the Brave just days away from releasing their latest album, The Hope List, the guys are giving fans a heartfelt look into just what went into making the album during lockdown. The track Keeper was one of the first the band wrote together with new vocalist, Jack Bennett. Keeper shows off the distinctive sound of Lonely the Brave in…
Bolt Thrower. British metal royalty from the more extreme end of the spectrum. F***ing legends, some would say (they’d be right too).
