Australia’s Hands Like Houses have had a clear curvature progression to their career to this point that step-by-step has become more refined. On their new self-titled EP, Hands Like Houses step out on their own, leaving behind some of their previous sounds and influences which they occasionally wore on their sleeves. This EP summarises the…
Zeal & Ardor as a band has always covered themes of oppression, and the darker side of human nature. The content of their new E.P Wake Of A Nation should offer up very little in the way of surprise to those who have paid attention. This is a venomous outcry of pain, rage and sheer…
Salem, share their name with the place where the infamous witch trials happened (although i’d like to think the band are all big Sabrina The Teenage Witch fans!) are much cheerier prospect than their name might suggest. The debut self titled e.p featuring William Gould from Creeper & Matthew Reynolds is a lovingly crafted slice…
There are few bands out there as reliable as Sevendust. A band that was seemingly lumped into a scene they outgrew a very long time ago. Over the course of nearly 3 decades they have proven to one of the most consistent bands in metal & hard rock. They have also been a more thoughtful…
In 2020, Mr. Bungle find themselves in an enviable position. For the uber-long-term die-hards of the avant-garde collective hearing these tracks re-recorded with a modern production will be like all their Christian holidays of choice coming at once.
The Trajectory that Fever 333 have on been over the last 2 years is nothing short of remarkable. Signing with Roadrunner Records, dropping back to back releases and taking their message worldwide, no band in recent memory has made a bigger impact in such a short period of time. They say great art is born…
Where the hell do you even start with Ghostemane? An enigma wrapped in a riddle that becomes more confusing the more you are exposed to him. In a world where everyone in metal is trying to out heavy each other, Ghostemane is just trying to survive living in a nihilistic hellscape of his own creation,…
Shinedown are without a doubt one of the biggest rock bands of the modern era, specialising in skyscraper sized, arena filling rock anthems. Now imagine you take half the band away and arm them with only acoustic guitars and a piano. Smith & Myers is the side project from Vocalist Brent Smith and Guitarist Zach…
Following up an album like Stage Four was never going to be an easy task for Touche Amore. A deeply personal album that managed to capture the pain vocalist Jeremy Bolm went through after such a huge loss in an unflinching way. It’s the sort of album a band would never be able to replicate…
Amaranthe are looked upon by many in the metal world as something of a guilty pleasure. Dismissed by others as “Disney metal”, comments like this belie the fact that Amaranthe have been producing consistently great, catchy heavy music since their debut album almost a decade ago. What they haven’t always been able to do since…
