Forming in the summer of 2007 Me vs Hero quickly made their mark as a band with hooks, bounce and undeniably catchy music. In 2008, tragedy befell the band when guitarist and good friend Alex McCulloch sadly passed away; since then however, MVH have honoured their friend with an EP, released their debut album in…
On Friday 10th December 2010, I was one of the first people in the world who was given the priviledge to officially preview the new Children of Bodom album ‘Relentless Reckless Forever’. Upon arriving at Metropolis Studios at The Power House in Chiswick (beautiful area, full of wankers), I really had no idea what I was in for;…
‘Tis the season to be jolly, and all that, so what better way to kick start your cheese and dip party than with a bit of Trucker Diablo. Seemingly oblivious to musical influences of the past decade, ‘The Devil Rhythm’ doesn’t so much buck the trend but rather completely ignores it in favour of producing…
It was only last year that we were graced by the news that 90s hard rockers Skin were reforming and playing the legendary Download festival. 18 months on and the band are ready to say goodbye again; but that’s not before they release what will be the final Skin album, ‘Breaking the Silence.’ Skin typically…
I have recently had quite a large backlog of albums for review, so I decided to pick one at random, and landed on a band called Negligence, who I knew nothing about, so I was in the world of the musical unknown. Negligence hail from Slovenia, and to my knowledge are one of the first metal…

Artist: Alter Bridge Album Title: AB III Release Date: October 2010 Record Label: Roadrunner Records For Fans Of: Creed, Fozzy, Slash, Guns N Roses, Led Zeppellin, Foo Fighters, Metallica I’m going to start this review off by admitting something “uncool”. I really liked Creed back in the day. There, I said it, abuse will descend…
Before we delve into ‘Senjyu’ I need to come clean. I’ll be the first to admit that I was incredibly underwhelmed by the ‘Dreamers’ EP, the reasons being as follows. Firstly, it was being pitched as ‘Djent’ which sent me scurrying off to Urban Dictionary to find out what this meant, in turn giving me…
The Fear Is Excruciating But Therein Lies The Answer is the third album from one of the leaders of the post-metal / ambient genre, Red Sparowes. Like many good artists of similar nature such as ISIS and Torche, Red Sparowes make their home on the fantastic HydraHead records Red Sparowes make their home in the UK on Conspiracy…
