As we approach what is likely the final Judas Priest tour on UK soil more than 4 decades after they began, Rocksins features editor Jamie Giberti takes a special look at one of the bands that started it all when metal is concerned… I was very late to the party where Judas Priest were concerned;…
I am by no means an expert of Symphony X, having heard some of their previous albums but not having much more than passing familarity. However when the chance to review their latest offering came along I jumped at the chance, anxious for the chance to review what could be one of the power metal…
US hard rock Stone Sour has released the following statement: “It is with regret that we have decided to cancel the remaining dates on our current headline tour. Our friend and drummer, Roy Mayorga, suffered a minor stroke a couple of nights ago after our show in Des Moines. He’s doing great and is expected…
Kamelot are, in my opinion, one of the best power metal bands going, up there with the legendary ones such as Blind Guardian. I would never, under normal circumstances, miss a live show of theirs without a very good reason. However, it was announced several months ago that singer Roy Khan would be taking this…

Since I have been very fortunate…
Dangerous New Machine are a band that not too many people on the UK side of the Atlantic may have heard of. I confess, until meeting Dangerous New Machine guitarist Billy Grey (read Rocksins interview with Billy here) when he was in his other role as Axeman for FOZZY I had not heard of them either….
A Day To Remember’s fourth full length album What Separates Me From You hit the shelves over three months ago now and it somehow slipped the Rocksins radar to do a review, so I thought I would make up for lost time. Florida’s favourite collective of pop-metallers (“its not pop and its not metal, its…
Like a lot of people in the UK metal community, I have been awaiting Sylosis’s follow up to their debut album Conclusion of an Age with considerable anticipation. When Conclusion of an Age hit our ears in late 2008, it made an immediate impact and as more and more people have discovered Sylosis in the 2…
Our Lives in Motion are a US Emo – Pop/Punk band with a sound that is fairly typical of their genre. A lot of people, including I’m sure the band themselves will be aware that their kind of sound will not appeal to everyone. You’re unlikely to find too many people who enjoy the music…
