Frank Turner has been known for many years now as a folk rock singer, adding The Sleeping Souls as his backing band in more recent years. A prolific songwriter, he has churned out high quality albums and now he bounces back into the world’s eardrums with FTHC. With this release, it seems Turner wants to…
Metal II is the start of a project that will see almost all of the Annihilator back catalogue re-released by Jeff Waters as he aims to tidy up his legacy and remind everyone why Annihilator is Canada’s leading thrash metal band of all time. Annihilator‘s back-catalogue is certainly an interesting one. There are some stone-cold…
How different would our present be if one event in history didn’t happen? The theory of alternate timelines is a limitless and robust equation. Take Zeal & Ardor for example.

Beans On Toast’s latest release Survival Of…
“I turn the grief to medicine”. For so many artists, pain is the lynchpin of creating works that will stand the test of time.
The terms ‘Next big thing’ or ‘Ones to watch’ get thrown around so much,that the term has almost lost meaning. Usually reserved for trend chasers or mags looking to fill column inches. Every once in a while though, a band comes along that completely justifies the sentiment. Urne are that band. Their 2018 E.P The…
Light The Torch had a less than Auspicious start to their career. Despite delivering two solid albums under their original guise Devil You Know, they largely went under the surface. After rebranding themselves in 2017, they seem to have truly roared to life. You Will Be The Death Of Me, their second album as Light…
