If you were flicking around Kerrang and Scuzz TV in the early 00’s, Breed 77 are a band you no doubt remember. Hailing from the island of Gibraltar. Their self titled debut and follow up album, Cultura had a very distinct flavour about them. Thanks to the bands fusion of flamenco and alt-metal influences. Which…
Six years without a new Hatebreed album, and they’ve returned with enough breakdowns to make up for every minute of it. Fatal Paradox, the band’s ninth full-length release and their first since 2020’s Weight of the False Self, is a relentless assault of huge riffs, pounding drums and Jamey Jasta’s unmistakable aggressive vocals. There’s absolutely…
The Xcerts are a band that time and again have had the remark passed about them “how are they not bigger?”. In the late 2010’s it’s a question that several members of the Rock Sins staff would discuss time and again, especially off the back of their incredible album Hold On To Your Heart –…
It’s almost impossible for anyone outside of the As Everything Unfolds camp to fully appreciate what has gone into making their third album Did You Ask To Be Set Free? Even for longtime fans who have been supporting “AEU” since the early days. The High Wycombe post-hardcore / synth metal group have been through so…
There’s no award for being the hardest working man in heavy metal. If there was though, we think Zakk Wylde would definitely make the shortlist. Between balancing his roles at the front of both Black Label Society and Zakk Sabbath. As well as filling Dimebag Darrell’s size eleven Chuck Taylors on the road with Pantera….
It’s been over twenty five years since Lamb of God burst onto the scene. Riding high on the the new wave of American heavy metal. Helping define the genre with albums like New American Gospel and Sacrament. They’ve been nothing but consistent since too. And not just when it comes to tearing the roof off…
New Alter Bridge music is always a cause for celebration here at Rock Sins. Having supported the band throughout their time together, it’s always a highlight in the musical calendar to see another new album from Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall. Generally a new Alter Bridge album surfaces every three to…
Having faded to near obscurity after a decade on the scene and numerous line-up changes. Lorna Shore rewrote the deathcore rulebook when they bounced back in 2022. Revitalised by the addition of vocalist Will Ramos. Their last album, Pain Remains left a high watermark that can still be seen now. High above the imitators that…
It seems crazy to me that a band like Orthodox has completely passed me by. They have been around for nearly 15 years and are 4 albums deep into their career, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard them. Talk about a shock to the system. A Door Left Open is one of…
Youth Code is one of most exciting duos in heavy industrial music not named Nine Inch Nails. When they took a break their future seemed uncertain. I can report wholeheartedly that upon their return their future, at least musicall remains as bleak as ever. While not as chaotic and frantic as their previous releases Yours,…
