It seems unfathomable to think that Gwar has been around for 40 years. A band so weird, extreme and unmarketable, that especially in these times of people being offended by more and more it’s shocking to see them still here and still successful. Their unwavering commitment to their bit and their continued prescence in the…
Tonight’s show at Crystal Palace Park is Deftones biggest UK headline show to date, possibly their biggest headline show ever. 25,000 tickets sold out in record time, so you could say anticipation and expectations were high for this one. The show however was nearly derailed due an illness in the band’s camp a day prior,…

It seems crazy to me that a band like Orthodox has completely passed me by. They have been around for nearly 15 years and are 4 albums deep into their career, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard them. Talk about a shock to the system. A Door Left Open is one of…
How do I describe Spiritworld in a way that not only makes sense, but does the band justice…? Imagine if you took Ennio Morricone, Volbeat & Slayer and tossed them all in a blender. Nope…Right, Mastodon tripping in the desert while writing a concept album about From Dusk Till Dawn. That one might actually be…
In the run up to the release of Tsunami Sea, both Mike Stringer & Courtney LaPlante have confirmed this is not only a sister album to Eternal Blue, but also a concept album in itself. Coming off of the back of one of the most hotly tipped debuts in some time was also going to…
Corby lads Raging Speedhorn were everywhere when I was first getting into heavy music. They racked up airplay and magazine inches, and were constantly touring. At the time I feel like perhaps I was too young to appreciate them, as they were a little too heavy for me. By the time my tastes had caught…
It has been a relentless two years for Architects. They have seen a near constant touring cyclefeaturing massive shows with Metallica, and top billing at festival stages across Europe,including a headlining set at Bloodstock festival. And if that wasn’t enough, in December 2023they dropped Seeing Red, the first single on the much anticipated The Sky, The Earth & All Between. Over a…

This Consequence sees the Massachusetts Maestros…
Lacuna Coil’s 10th album Sleepless Empire feels like it’s been a long time coming. Coming 6 years after their previous release Black Anima, the first new music from the album was released nearly 2 years ago. It would be an understatement to say fans have been enthusiastically awaiting its arrival. The journey the band has…
It’s impossible to think that Dream Theater has never made an album based around sleep & the surrounding phenomena associated with it. Parasomnia then seeks to rectify that,while not a concept album in the strictest sense every song is based around something to do with sleep. There are some weighty things explored on this album…
New Years Day are currently in the UK for the first full tour in 5 years.
