Municipal Waste are somewhat of a Ronseal band, in that they do exactly what it says on the tin. Brash aggro thrash played at the speed of light purpose built to crush skulls and kill brain cells. Electrified Brain starts aptly enough with the title track. After the sound of electricity fizzles out the track…
Earthless are the leading modern-day supplier of riffs and super-long jams. Their latest album Night Parade Of One Hundred Demons only goes toward further cementing that status. The space-rockers are back with carefree songs and there are none of those unnecessary vocals to be found. 2018’s Black Future was released to luke-warm reviews. Shorter songs…

Black Coast are a new band to our ears here at Rock Sins, and well, we really like what we’ve just heard. Stoke-on-Trent natives and described as “nu-metalcore”, to us they just sound like a revival of the good bits of nu-metal, with some friggin huge breakdowns in there for good measure, what’s not to…

Accept’s latest outing, Too Mean To Die, certainly hits the ground running from the very start.
