25 years ago when Soulfly started, I don’t think anyone could have predicted the band they would become. Originally more of a nu metal band, they have amassed a diverse rich catalogue, featuring death metal, thrash, grind and punk influences across the board. It cannot be understated how creative and interesting Max Cavalera is as…
After an agonising five and a half year wait, JAMIE T is back with his brand new album The Theory Of Whatever, and it was definitely worth the wait!

BLOOD COMMAND have been one of the best and most exciting punk bands of the last ten years. For whatever reason though they’ve remained a cult band and never got the wider love they deserve.

While UFOMAMMUT…
ALUNAH are crash-landed their Strange Machine into the middle of 2022 and it has made quite an impact. The Birmingham based quartet have released album number two with Siân Greenaway on vocals and this is the first with Matt Noble on six-string duties. It’s also the second album to be released by Heavy Psych Sounds, where the band seem to be more…
Hot off the back of last years debut album, Stöner are back with another meaty offering of desert rock. Totally… sees forefathers of fuzz; Brant Bjork, Nick Oliveri and Ryan Gut, return with another greasy slice of stoner-fuzz blues.
