Ska-punk is a genre that many people will tell you is dead. With the genre far from the height of popularity it once had, it’s now just seen as a nostalgia thing. So when The Interrupters released their second album Say It Out Loud in 2016 it felt like a real breath of fresh air….
Of all the young metal bands who made their breakthrough in the early to mid 2000’s, few have had quite as tough a time as Welsh outfit Bullet For My Valentine, who arrived kicking and screaming with an early run of genre-defining albums like The Poison and Scream Aim Fire, only to gradually slip into…
Get used to hearing the name Vein they are about to become your new heavy music obsession. From the opening moments of Virus://Vibrance with its warped jungle beats and down-tuned guitars that smash you around the head like The Dillinger Escape covering debut album era Slipknot, this is an album that won’t let you go for…
The last 18 months or so have been pretty amazing for Nine Inch Nails fans. Not only has there been new music in the form of two e.p’s Not the Actual Events and Add Violence, but there have also been shows to go with it. Nine Inch Nails are back and in a big bad way. When…

At Rocksins we’re always looking to promote new talent, so when I stumbled across a previously unknown band called Hemoptysis with the help of a friend, I was suitably impressed and thought they deserved to have their music shared with the wider world. Anyone who’s a fan of bands like Sylosis or Skeletonwitch will absolutely…
Mastodon are a band who, in my eyes, are in the vein of Opeth in as much as their music is not only undeniably brilliant, but also accessible when the time is taken to absorb and appreciate their moderately unique musical tapestry. Much like their Swedish counterparts, the new album marks another change in their…
