The scale and size to which anonymous collective PRESIDENT have grown is something of a phenomenon. It only felt like yesterday when the band launched their masked music endeavour, premiering the band back at Download Festival with no original material to their name, yet an ungodly buzz surrounding their mystery and strong rumour of who…
When Kreator come to town, that’s usually a big enough deal on its own. But the line up for the Krushers of the World Tour at the O2 Academy Brixton meant that Rock Sins absolutely had to be there to take in the action. On tonight’s event-type billing there are defined roles for each band…
For 20 years, Motionless In White have had an ungodly flair for love, life, death and calling out the outcast creatures of society and giving them a loving, adoring home. And do you know why they are kings at doing this? Because they feel like that themselves. Their 2010 debut album is even called Creatures,…
The recent resurgence of 00’s culture is a phenomenon worthy of study. For those of us that wore our jeans low and let our wallet cahins hang even lower, the return of Ed Hardy denim and Juicy Couture has many of us whistfully shaking our heads at the youth of today. Especially as it means…
Having risen back to the top of their game and beyond. Lorna Shore haven’t set a foot wrong since To The Hellfire propelled them back into the limelight in 2022.

However, some things have remained constant. Like the rise of Ukrainian progressive metal powerhouses, Jinjer. Who have somehow maintained their stratospheric trajectory. Despite not having…
Anyone who’s been even a semi-regular visitor to Rock Sins over the last few years knows we are big fans of As Everything Unfolds (8). The first UK headline shows in far too long from the Buckinghamshire five piece were announced at the end of the Summer, and happily we were able to get along…
After spending the 2010s dominating the UK hardcore underground but seeming to slip by the mainstream, Malevolence once seemed like a band who might never get the success they deserve. Which makes nights like this feel so special as they have now climbed to position of headlining Brixton Academy, something that basically no bands from…
Friday at 2000Trees truly is turned out to be spent at The Forest Stage. Acting as a perfect bit of respite from the sun and some down time from the shade kicking Julia Wolf pulls in a huge crowd. With a stunning ethereal gazey energy about her, the forest is the most gorgeous setting for…
