“Kvelertak shamelessly draw inspiration from every corner of something that could fit into their idea of good hard-hitting and catchy rock’n’roll. Regardless of genre, but always truthful to the basic idea of the band; good songs performed with the tongue-in-cheek attitude of their punk-rock pioneers.” Releasing their much anticipated debut album, Kvelertak are already well…
Botheration is the debut offering of Oaf, a punk rock duo whom sound is more akin a whole room full of drunken people shouting in your face, than two men with a bass guitar and a drum kit. Embracing influences and the passion of bands such as Cardiacs to the more melodic aspects of Kyuss,…
Furyon, hailing from Brighton, released their debut album ‘Gravitas’ on June 23rd. On the same day they also pushed out 120,000 copies of their ‘Underdog’ EP with ‘Classic Rock’ magazine in what is a bit of a coup for an unsigned band. Produced by Rick Beato (Shinedown, Fozzy) with a traditional classic British rock sound…
Ok, so we’re in June and this came out in March but this bad boy from Black Breath must have sneaked its way past me. Thankfully all is not lost as it has now found its way into my ears and what an aural sensation that is. Sonically this is nothing short of devastating, Kurt…
I usually try to do a 250 word review. To be honest what I should have done with this one is write the word ‘Wow’ 250 times. It’s stunning, simply stunning. Having previously had very little experience of Anathema I listened to the album with zero expectations or preconceptions. What I was rewarded with is…
Five years after the release of their breakthrough album All That Remains, The “huge rock stars” of Fozzy, led by Chris Jericho and Stuck Mojo’s Rich Ward return with their new album Chasing The Grail, an album that has been attracting almost universal praise from all corners. What do we at Rocksins think of it?…
I’ve been wrestling with this review for nearly 2 weeks now. The issue I have is, just how do I describe Imicus? You see it’s fairly easy to pigeonhole a band’s sound and compare them to various peers but in the case of Imicus what we have is a release of maturity and confidence that…
Three years of blood, tours, and beers has produced one of the finest unsigned metal albums of this year. Krass Judgement pulls no punches as they shove the brutality straight down your fucking throat. The disk starts off with my favorite track, Dying Christians, a nice little piece telling how people of faith have effectively…
“Only time will let you know if you’re worth anything,” sings Coheed and Cambria founder Claudio Sanchez on “The Broken,” the second track and first impression for most listeners of Year Of The Black Rainbow, the band’s brand new fifth studio album. Like every stingingly sincere line of this first song to be released from…
Chimp Spanner; the one man metal army that is Paul Antonio Ortiz. Written, performed and produced entirely by Paul, At The Dream’s Edge is a remarkably non indulgent display of an incredible talent. Playing a guitar that has extra strings and by the sound of it playing with extra fingers too, the album has a…
