When you are a visionary artist who has been creating genre bending music over the last decade you pretty much earn the right to do whatever you want. This is basically Gary Numan’s career in a nutshell, a man who’s whole legacy is built on blazing his own trail, and continues to do so. Numan…
10 years ago THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA released what many consider to be their best work with the ZOMBIE EP. At a time when US metalcore was becoming so watered down and bland, this EP was something far more exciting. Darker and heavier than anything their peers were doing at the time, it gathered a…
Salem’s sudden emergence at the latter half of 2020 was one of the bright spots in an otherwise dismal year. Their debut self title e.p strode in like a candy coloured blast of fresh air. Another big bonus came in the form of them being able to play socially distanced gigs, giving fans the chance…
Thrash is one of the most adversity ridden sub genres in all of metal. You’d be hard pressed to find a band out there that hasn’t fought themselves back from the brink at least once. Evile are an example of this, having had their fair share of ups and downs. Having gone through a hiatus…
Tetrarch are a band the metal world is keeping a keen eye on. Having formed in 2007, they have spent the last decade plus grafting and building a buzz around themselves.

For over 30 years Cannibal Corpse have been innovators of violence. Delivering some of the most brutal and grotesque music that has ever been committed to tape. I imagine if you’re reading this you didn’t do so to get a history lesson, so let’s just say that every time they drop a new album, it…
Swiss metallers Dreamshade are not the first and won’t be the last band to delve deeper into wider and more expansive themes when recording an album through the pandemic. With their fourth full-length record titled “A Pale Blue Dot”, Dreamshade shifts their focus into talking about less personal issues. With their blend of melodic metalcore…
The modern hardcore scene is rife with talent, many of which with a set trajectory for stardom, but not every budding bringer of breakdowns has garnered the level of attention as Death Blooms. In just two years the Liverpudlian quartet unleashed two well-received EPs and, most crucially, landed themselves a spot on the inaugural Pulse…
Well, this is something handy to have sitting in the back of the cupboard ready for a rainy day. Some fifteen years after recording these tracks as a follow up to their debut album, Sonic Flower, who having fallen out with each other (and presumably now made up again) in this time, have a collection…
