It’s that time again for the Rock Sins staff to cast their eyes back over the great, the good and the not quite so good of the past twelve months from 2015. Kicking things off in traditional style is our features ed Jamie. You may spot something of a recurring theme with his picks this…
Last night on Dan Carter’s BBC Radio One Rock Show the second batch of bands for next years’ Download Festival were announced and there’s some huge bands in there! First off the blocks (and predicted by many including some of the Rock Sins staff) none other than Chino Moreno and Deftones, who in an awful…
The Prepare For Hell tour was one of the most anticipated metal tours to come to the UK in quite some time, not only was it’s Slipknot’s return but it was Slipknot with special guests KoRn! On Friday the tour finally made it’s stop at a sold out Wembley Arena and the atmosphere in the…
Slipknot in the flesh are a band that make people put down the camera and the phone and live in the moment. Slipknot’s first full UK tour in over six years has been eagerly awaited since the day it was announced some months ago. Throw in the fact the Prepare For Hell tour also had…
For at least the last decade, one of my favourite bands has been Korn. The pioneering metal band have managed to outlast the majority of their peers from the nu-metal sub-genre. As I was led on to Korn’s swanky tour bus, I was struck by how massive this interview is – I mean, how many people get…
Carving a name for themselves across the metal world, KING 810 are certainly a force to be reckoned with. Their debut album Memoirs of a Murderer has split the metal world right down the middle. You should have heard the troubling stories behind the band by now, if you haven’t, then brace yourself. Our Lisa Fox spoke to frontman…
Well well well, this is a night that has been a long time coming. I’ve been a self confessed maggot since 1999 but have somehow never managed to see my favourite band play ‘indoors’. Well, tonight that 16 year streak of misfortune ended, when I witnessed, no, I experienced, Slipknot Prepare For Hell in Glasgow. First though,…
Slipknot & KoRn anyone? This is probably completely unnecessary, but just in case anyone needs a reminder, what will almost certainly be the biggest metal tour of 2015 in the UK is set to begin tonight in the confines of Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena. Having already wowed their Irish fans in their first visit to the…
Mondays can be a bit rubbish in general can’t they? Not when Slipknot announce they’re returning to the UK for their first full headline tour over in six years they’re not. Slipknot haven’t done a full tour in the UK since late 2008 when they sold out all over the country, including three nights at…
A band who are no strangers to our shores and have always had good times in the UK, nu metal legends KoRn have announced a one off appearance in the UK as part of a run of shows that will mostly take place in Eastern Europe. The tour will take place in May 2014 and…
Making his Rocksins’ return after a rather eventful second half of 2013 where he’s now a national radio show presenter as part of the Metal Hammer Show team on Team Rock Radio as well as appearing at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, here’s the pick on the bunch from 2013 from the one and only Stephen…
On their last album The Path Of Totality, Nu-Metal legends Korn began to reinvent themselves by introducing dubstep to their sound which helped to bring new life to the band. Now on their latest release The Paradigm shift it seems that Korn are taking a step back to their 90s roots, perhaps helped by the…
