Since storming onto the scene with their debut release Disobey back in 2017, Bad Wolves has had an almost picture-perfect meteoric rise to dizzying heights. They’ve played almost all of the bucket-list festivals and supported countless movers and shakers on the scene. It’s the kind of trajectory that bands can surely only dream of having…
Texan heavy music genre-benders Nothing More have long been favourites of ours here at Rock Sins ever since we discovered them back in 2014. With their impending return to UK shores, it was the perfect time for us to air this interview that our features editor Jamie conducted with Nothing More bassist Dan Oliver earlier…
Before getting into the nuts and bolts of Five Finger Death Punch’s seventh studio album, And Justice For None, some context is required. The album was recorded roughly eighteen months ago, with a dispute with the band’s old label holding up the album’s release until now. At the time And Justice For None was recorded,…
Bad Wolves are already a legacy band. Made up of former members of Divine Heresy, God Forbid, Devildriver and In This Moment, the expectation was always going to be high for their debut album. The good news is that Bad Wolves more than rise to the challenge. Disobey is a modern metal debut for the…
So the rumours were true after all! Five Finger Death Punch are back, having sorted out their legal issues with their old record label Prospect Park, and can today confirm the details of their new album. Titled And Justice For None (we can already hear Lars Ulrich on the phone to his lawyers from here),…
The average person could count on one hand the amount of bands from the nu-metal era that are not only still going, but still relevant and Papa Roach would definitely make that list. Popping over on a quick jaunt to London to make up for a missed show whilst promoting new opus Crooked Teeth, the…
Over the years Papa Roach have become old reliable. They have maintained a level of consistency that has seen them thrive for two decades. Their new album Crooked Teeth is their 8th full-length record and the follow up to 2015’s F.E.A.R. There was a promise from the band that this would be a return to their…
Not to be confused with an optimistic ode to the blessings of life, round two of 2016’s Sixx:A.M. domination ‘Prayers for the Blessed’ praises the flawed while shaking the perch of the blissfully ignorant. Empowering from the onset, ‘Barbarians (Prayers for the Blessed)’ makes a neat mission statement before fists are thrust into the air…
Clawing out of its cage, ‘Prayers for the Damned’ is Sixx:A.M.’s phenomenal ode to the personal battles that keep them alive. The first half of a double-edged sword from the rockers, this fourth studio venture hands centre stage to the darker side of James Michael’s emotional range, backed as always by the familiar stellar tones of…
Five Finger Death Punch are always going to divide opinion in the metal world. With various well documented upsets surrounding the band in recent months, their sixth album Got Your Six provides a timely opportunity to refocus back onto the band’s musical output. Can they continue their relentless climb to the top of the metal…
Five Finger Death Punch have already conquered the metal world in America and are well on their way to doing so on this side of the Atlantic too. Ahead of their huge main stage slot at last month’s Download Festival 2015 (of which you can read a review right here) we caught up back stage…
Last month, before their show in Norwich, I caught up with Jerry Horton of Papa Roach. We chatted about Papa Roach, past and present, releasing F.E.A.R., and Jerry’s fingers and legs. Papa Roach has been around since 1993, and still going strong in the scene, how does it feel? We’re definitely fortunate. There’s a lot of…
