The Ghost Inside – The Ghost Inside
When we talk about comeback stories, few are as inspiring as the story of The Ghost Inside. Their horrific bus crash from 2015 has been well documented and left the band sidelined until their live comeback last year. Given the injuries they suffered being able to play again seemed nothing short of a miracle. Now…
Bleed From Within – Fracture
Bleed From Within have been one of the most criminally overlooked metal bands of the last decade. The Glaswegians have released several great albums but never quite got the praise they deserve. Perhaps the 6 year delay between Uprising and Era caused some damage but the quality of their work has always been so high….
Xibalba – Años En Infierno
On Años En Infierno, the band successfully toe the line between experimentation and stagnation to make this an interesting and fulfilling listen.
Sertraline – Clouded Minds & Silver Lines EP
“We won’t let them win, stand together as we say. Hate will never be the death of me” 2205, Clouded Minds & Silver Lines If ever 2020 needed a rallying cry, the guttural scream from frontwoman Lizzie Parry which fires those words into life must surely provide it.

The Homeless Gospel Choir – This Land Is Your Landfil

Usually a one man project he’s now back with his fourth full length album, and this time he’s bought a lot of friends with him to start this new chapter. There’s…
Katatonia – City Burials
Katatonia, much like their Scandinavian contemporaries Opeth, essentially have two acts to their career. The original musical direction of the band, very much in the doom / gothic metal mould, and their more recent offerings, which over the second half of their existence has shown them to be one of the world’s finest exponents of…
Enter Shikari – Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible
Combine the career-retrospective ambition with utterly sublime performances and execution that warrants serious praise and we might just be talking about the band’s best work to date.
Trivium – What The Dead Men Say
2020 finds Trivium at the highest point the band have been at in almost fifteen years. Their previous album, The Sin And The Sentence, was heralded almost universally, including by us here at Rock Sins, as a massive return to form after two albums that had divided opinion. Subsequent tours such as their UK tour…
