It’s safe to say the last decade has been a trying time for Of Mice & Men. Lineup changes, genre hopping and finally finding their feet. Bands have broken up over less. From sanding down the edges on Restoring Force to the Nu Metal revivalism of Cold World, there was a period where they felt…
On August 25th, Holding Absence celebrates the conclusion of their opening trilogy of albums with the release of The Noble Art Of Self Destruction.

Emmure’s history as a band is littered with controversy, outbursts and line…
There has been a large amount of buzz surrounding Holding Absence over the last few years. Their early singles and split EP with Loathe showed promise and seemed to really win people over.
