Tallah are one of the most buzzed about new bands in heavy music.It’s not hard to understand why either. They are most of the most dynamic, interesting and unhinged sounding bands to hit the scene in a very long time. Matriphagy is the full length full up to their 2018 E.P No One Should Be…
I would hope by now that everyone would have some idea of who Corey Taylor is. Whether it’s as the frontman of Slipknot/Stone Sour or as a best selling author. He’s been around long enough, that you should at least have heard the name alone. CMFT is the first collection of all solo material from…
For close to two decades Devildriver have been one of the standard bearers in modern metal. Their first four albums are all stone cold classics, and even with personnel and label changes they have remained a consistent and reliable force throughout. Dealing With Demons I is their 8th studio albums and follows on from their…
Deftones have also been undeniably in a league of their own.The gap between them and their peers is so wide they are practically in their own orbit. The problem with setting the bar so impossibly high every time you put something out, is how can ever hope to top what you have done before? Well…

I will admit right upfront that I have never cared for Machine Gun Kelly. I found him to be overly obnoxious, and frankly a bit of a poser with very little to back it up. With that said I don’t think I could have ever seen this mid career genre switch coming at all. When…
Yours Truly have been on the Rock Sins radar for a couple of years now. Their Afterglow EP from last year, in particular the breakthrough single Circles, was one of the finest bits of lighter rock we heard all year. So Yours Truly’s first full length album, Self Care, has been eagerly awaited here for…
Trading between dark Alcest vibes, extremity and depressed, ethereal clean passages, the first song on the debut Hidden Mothers EP may seem like it throws too many things at the wall to see what sticks. Incongruous tempo changes, a harsh differentiation between instrumental dynamism and a chiaroscuro that seems a little out of whack. On…
If there’s ever a time to make an unexpected comeback, the time is now or never. Lockdown or not. And that’s clearly what Madina Lake thought too. Now having spent close to a decade away from the game after wrapping up their three-album trilogy (save for a brief tenth-anniversary reunion in 2017), the band has made a…
