Sinsaenum seems like such an odd proposition on paper. Taking members of power metal giants DragonForce and festival toppers Slipknot, and throwing them in with extreme metal figures from Mayhem, Loudblast, Seth and Dååth just doesn’t make much sense upon first glance. But this group has come out of the gates since 2016 with a…
Ahead of Coheed and Cambria‘s London show last month in support of their new album Vaxis Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures (read our review here), Philip Whitehead spoke to the band’s drummer Josh Eppard about the new album and the possibility of new Weerd Science in the near future. Here’s what he had to say. …
Coheed and Cambria aren’t messing around. Barely a week after they dropped their new album The Unheavenly Creatures (read our review here), they’ve already hit the road in support of the album. Last week they hit the Roundhouse in Camden with support from instrumental math rockers CHON. Opening proceedings were CHON [7]. Their jazzy brand…
When Coheed and Cambria released their 2015 effort The Color Before the Sun, listeners were left wondering if the band were finished with their Amory Wars storyline, which has been written by frontman Claudio Sanchez in comic book form throughout the band’s history (and the reason for the band’s name). The album was different for…
Things have been quite busy for the guys in Chthonic. Although there has been no new album since 2013’s immense Bú-Tik, an acoustic album and feature length film have come since, all while frontman Freddy Lim has been working as a politician, having been elected to Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan in 2016. This has given the…
Coldbones are a post-rock band fresh out of Kent, having been working on their craft and building their fanbase over the past few years. Combining elements of shoegaze, metal and progressive rock into their post-rock sound, they’ve honed their skills with the release of 2014’s Distance EP and have since signed to Crooked Noise Records…
Sinsaenum is an interesting prospect for a supergroup. Headed up by guitarist Frédéric Leclercq of DragonForce fame and Joey Jordison (currently of Vimic, formerly of Murderdolls and Slipknot), the pair are given a platform to explore their more extreme tastes in metal with the assistance of Sean Zatorsky (Dååth), Stéphane Buriez (Loudblast), Attila Csihar (Mayhem)…
June is a great time to catch one-off shows either from acts preparing to take on the famous Download Festival or performing shows just after, and this year was no exception. Having played Donington just a couple of days before, Ice T’s infamous metal band Body Count descended on the London KOKO to give us…
10 years is a long time in music. Since Jonathan Davis began work on his debut solo album in 2007, the musical landscape has changed significantly. Nu metal collapsed from the mainstream, dubstep came and went, and One Direction took over the world momentarily. Nevertheless, Davis continued to toil away at his album and, in…
Møl are a fairly new name to the metal sphere. Coming off the back of 2 well received EPs, the Danes attracted the attention of Holy Roar Records and set to work on their debut album, JORD, in an attempt to show they can join the likes of Deafheaven, Alcest and Agalloch in the upper…
