Twin Temple has a touch of Ghost syndrome. Wherein their imagery very much does not entirely match the music the band puts out. You’d be forgiven for thinking you were going to get something dark, gothic, possibly symphonic metal as opposed to the music by The Ronettes, lyrics by Slayer that you are ultimately met…
At this point it seems redundant to call Creeper one of the most innovative and interesting bands in the Rock scene. Much like Code Orange, their particular brand of art is fully immersive, ever evolving and they never make the same thing twice. In fact they have become somewhat known for the emphatic nature with…
It seems mental to think that in the grand scheme of things Carnifex are now considered veterans of the Death Metal scene. 18 years into doing this and yet people still act like they only popped up recently. When you listen to their latest album Necromanteum, you can here that vintage running throughout. Somewhat erroneously…
It’s safe to say the last decade has been a trying time for Of Mice & Men. Lineup changes, genre hopping and finally finding their feet. Bands have broken up over less. From sanding down the edges on Restoring Force to the Nu Metal revivalism of Cold World, there was a period where they felt…
It’s hard to believe that Blood Command only dropped their last album Praise Armageddonism roughly 14 months ago, and we already have a follow up. World Domination is their 5th album and 2nd with Nikki Brumen. You should probably know by now to expect the unexpected when it comes to Blood Command. But even still…
It’s been 3 years since Code Orange torched the heavy music scene with their spectacular Underneath album. The world and indeed the musical landscape have changed a lot in that time, but so has Code Orange. Far more than a band, they are a seemingly ever evolving entity that goes wherever the art takes them…
Since their formation a little over 20 years Black Stone Cherry have been at the forefront of southern tinged heavy rock and this week sees the release of their 8th full length album and their first with new bassist Steve Jewell Jr. Opening with the title track it’s clear this is a band that has…
As Cannibal Corpse celebrate their 35th anniversary it becomes harder to keep coming up with new ways to hype this band up. Every time they drop a new album its really easy to say “it sounds just like a Cannibal Corpse album and be done with it” but a band of this calibre and with…
It’s been 4 years since Industrial anarchists 3TEETH but out their breakthrough album Metawar, a collection of songs that felt like a definitive statement of intent. Not ones to rest on their laurels, they are back with something even bigger in the form of EndEx. This time around they enlisted the help of Mick Gordon,…
I will admit that Fences aka Christopher Mansfield is not a musical endeavour I was aware of. I am however glad that they have made their way into my life. Bright Soil is the fourth studio by them and the follow up to 2019’s Failure Scultpure. Listening to Fences for the first time is a…
