Young Blood is South Carolina’s Southern rock hotshot, MARCUS KING’s second solo LP and his first on Rick Rubin’s American Recordings label. It’s no surprise Rubin was drawn to King, whose rootsy, classic rock and soul sound is a type of archetypal heritage music that Rubin tries to recreate with his acts. Of course there’s…
It’s hard to think of rock band who are on a better run of albums than CLUTCH. Certainly in the stoner rock genre there isn’t anyone who can match them, KING BUFFALO aside, possibly. Sunrise On Slaughter Beach is the band’s 13th album, but we doubt there’s anybody expecting it to witness any great misfortune….
ELECTRIC CALLBOY may not be a band on everyone’s lips, but this looks set to change as there is no doubt that this is a band on the cusp of exploding into the mainstream. Having dropped their first EP in 2010, this German six-piece sound like the bastard child of RAMMSTEIN and LMFAO if SCOOTER…
It’s been 7 long years since No Devotion burst onto the scene with their album Permanence. It was an assured, confident debut that should have seen the band climb to the highest highs. Sadly, as is often the case, life had other plans and everything went silent. Until now that is. No Oblivion is the…
These days if you’re going to pursue a life in a rock ‘n’ roll band you have to be committed, brave, born for it, even. Let’s face it, the chances of stardom and enormous wealth are slim and you’re working in a medium that is almost an anachronism for young people – it’s like considering…
When OZZY OSBOURNE dropped Ordinary Man in 2020, his first new album in a decade, many of us assumed it would be his swansong. After 50 years in the game, it felt like he was bowing out. In reality we couldn’t have been more wrong, and here we are with a new album from the…
Change and diversity in art is natural and essential. You cannot evolve if you are content with repeating yourself. It’s worth bearing this in mind when we look at our favourite artists. We love the things we love for many different reasons. It is however unreasonable to expect the people who create the things we…
BLOODBATH are one of the most legendary bands in the history of death metal. Featuring an eye watering array of collective talent in their ranks, they have slashed their way through the scene with gruesome precision for over two decades now. Survival Of The Sickest is their sixth studio album and the follow up to…
Since their formation in 2014, HEILUNG have been taking their listeners on musical journeys into the past. Using traditional instruments and the sounds of nature itself, the Danish three piece have faithfully recreated some of the oldest music in existence. Perhaps better described as amplified history than heavy metal, their sound is utterly unique and…
MACHINE HEAD is a fascinating band. A band that has generational appeal, who shot to prominence during the heyday of Roadrunner Records. They are arguably one of the most respected bands in heavy music. With that said, they have never been ones to make things easy for themselves. Their catalogue is littered with examples of…
