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…
When Corey Taylor dropped his first solo album back in 2020,it was met with a rather mixed and dare I say muted response. The frontman of two of the biggest Rock/Metal bands of the last 20 years dropping a middling, uncohesive record that was not befitting of his legacy, was not something many of us…
Sevendust are a band that are so reliable, you can set your watch to them. For close to 30 years that have remained consistent, focused and have remained through sheer passion and force of will. Now on their 14h album, the formula is still intact, but some of the results may vary from album to…
Vexed caught the attention of the heavy music world in 2021 with their crushing debut Culling Culture, signalling them as a band to watch. Lets make one thing very clear right now, that was just a warning shot, a mere taste of things to come. Negative Energy, their second full length is about to kick…
Queens of the Stone Age are one of the most iconic rock bands of the last 30 years. Kicking the door in with a bad attitude and the songs to back it up. They exploded and came very close to taking over the world. For a magical moment they were the life and soul of…
The very existence of the Foo Fighters as a band comes from a place of grief. It seems unfathomable that they are once again facing the horrors of loss. But Here We Are is an album that’s hard to imagine them wanting to make, but it was vital that they did. This 11th studio album…
We hear the phrase “Art is Subjective” so often that it feels at times like it’s lost all meaning or relevance. Even more so when it comes to the age of social media and everyone being terminally online. Liking or not liking something simply isn’t enough anymore. Seems appropriate then that a band like Avenged…
There are very few certainties in life, but one thing you can set your watch by is DevilDriver and their capacity to keep generating banger albums. Dealing with Demons Vol. II is the bands tenth album and comes on the heels of their 20th Anniversary. To the absolute surprise of no one, it picks up…
The Dirty Nil are not the kind of band to bury the lead and they certainly don’t on their fourth full length, Free Rein to Passions. Doing exactly what it says on the tin, this is the Ontario trio going out of their way to clear themselves of any overthinking that could come with the…
Plagueboys is the third album by Finnish Rockers Grave Pleasures, (fourth overall if we count Climax by Beastmilk) it comes after a 6 year gap following on from 2017’s Motherblood. Grave Pleasures feel at times like someone got a 70s/80s themed Goth playlist and just hit play on all the songs, which sounds like more…
