Wednesday February 26th marked the first day back in Bristol for alt-rock superstars New Years Day, after having been away for years. The five-piece band originally formed in Anaheim, California, and the release of their latest album Unbreakable in April earlier this year marked their fourth studio album to date. Having recently finished an epic…
Tonight, was all about female-fronted rock, with an epic line-up consisting of New Year’s Day, In This Moment and Halestorm, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. New Years Day (8), the first on this evening, opened their explosive half an hour set with their hit Come For Me. The audience is littered with red and black…
Texas based prog metallers Polyphia had been a band I had listened to for a while now, but after the release of their most recent album “New Levels New Devils” seeing the quartet live was on the top of my agenda, and they lived up to every expectation I had and more. Upon entering the…
It’s no secret that Bring Me the Horizon are no longer a metal band. Their deathcore and metalcore ‘Suicide Season’ and ‘Count Your Blessings’ days are truly over. Having been a massive fan circa Sempiternal (I still abide by the fact this was their best release), I was initially very judgemental of their drastic development….
Old school melodic death metallers Soilwork recently came out with their 11th studio album, a long three and a half years after their last release ‘Death Resonance’, leaving the biggest gap between two albums in their history. Though having gone through various line-up changes through their years, Soilwork have really built up a distinct and…

Behind The Algorithm’s madness is French musical mastermind Remi Gallego. In theory, the mash up of two dissonant genres (electronic and metal) sounds odd, however THE ALGORITHM somehow have it pretty pinned down, with a load of brutality, riffs and heavy drumming mixed in with a lot of electronic leanings. The Algorithm have always been…
Back in the day, You Me At Six were one of the bands that fuelled young teen emo dreams and their early albums such as ‘Take Off Your Colours’ (2008) and ‘Hold Me Down’ (2010) will always have a special place in my heart. Having consistently achieved a top five album since their second release…
Skyharbor have had some substantial line-up changes over the years, with the departing of TesseracT’s Daniel Tompkins on vocals and Anup Sastry on drums in 2015. This could have signalled a dismantling of the group but were promptly replaced by Aditya Ashok on drums and Eric Emery on vocals, who had a big weight on…
