Sometimes when new bands form from the ashes of others, there is the fear that one of two things will happen, that either they will coast by on former glories or they will boil down to being nothing more than the some of their parts rather than being an innovative whole. This is where Prophets…
Savage (Songs From A Broken World) is Gary Numan’s 21st album and the follow up to 2013’s Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind). In many ways, it feels much like a spiritual sequel to that album, at least conceptually. This feels like it could be the second part of a loose trilogy that may possibly…
Foo Fighters are one of the biggest bands in the world. Now 9 albums deep into a nearly 25-year career, they have earned the right at this point to do pretty much whatever they want. There is always a sense of expectation with each new Foo Fighters album as every one of them is completely…
I think its safe to say we all thought there may not be another Thy Art Is Murder album after ‘Holy War’ and the spectacular exit of vocalist CJ McMahon. But as they say time is a great healer and with CJ now focused and back in the fold, there is a new album in…
Maria Brink is a frontwoman for all seasons. With each passing In This Moment there is a new look and some form of new element added to the band’s arsenal. Going from being a straight ahead metalcore act they have filtered their sound through industrial, metal and more polished pop metal leanings over the years. they even…
Amazingly for a band that has been around 32 years (they started in 1985), has gone through over 20 members and is dropping its 12th Album Iced Earth are a band that had all but passed me by. I am aware of them mainly by seeing people wearing their t-shirts and the fact I have…
It’s no secret that we love The Lounge Kittens here at Rock Sins. The Rainbow-haired songstresses have made their way into our ears and hearts and have set up a permanent residency. So naturally we sent our boys Simon & Jamie to go have a chat with Zan, Timia and Jen at Download Festival to talk about raising…
The Raven Age are a young British metal band that are currently making waves. Having toured with the likes of Iron Maiden and Anthrax and released their debut album ‘Darkness Will Rise’ earlier this year, they are poised for great things going forward. We were able to catch up with The Raven Age’s guitarist George…
Code Orange are one of the most unique and intense bands in music right now, creating nightmarish soundscapes that are impossible to escape. Their newest album Forever is already one of 2017’s best and they have been touring relentlessly in support of it, including a stop at this year’s Download Festival. I was able to…
London-based J-Rock Outfit Esprit D’Air are a band with seemingly big ambitions. You only have to take one listen to their comeback album ‘Constellations’ to realise this. It seems almost unfathomable to think that we nearly didn’t get this album after the band disbanded and had a lineup overhaul, before making their way back to the…
