Full Of Hell – ‘Trumpeting Ecstacy’

Full Of Hell should come with a safety warning. Not a parental advisory sticker, but something to say that when you listen to ‘Trumpeting Ecstasy’ your life is in danger, because it is utterly ferocious. From the opening seconds of ‘Deluminate’, the only feeling it can be likened to

At The Drive-In – ‘In•Ter•A•Li•A’

Imagine writing and releasing what would come to be considered one of the defining albums of an entire generation. Imagine buckling under the weight of expectation from the entire world and very publicly disbanding less than a year after releasing said album. Now imagine returning with a

All That Remains – ‘Madness’

It might be 2017, but believe it or not metalcore is still a thing. To release music in a genre that can often sound dated but make it sound just as inspired as it was over 15 years ago, you have to either be bringing something new

It doesn’t take long for Seattle-based Tidelines to demonstrate their obvious talent and potential on this debut self-titled record, but what does take a little longer is an appreciation for the many nuances lurking underneath the surface. If you’re looking for a quick fix, then this may not be the record for

Caves – ‘Always Why’

Newly transatlantic punks Caves make their intentions known from the opening of ‘Asleep’, as birdsong, feedback and a subdued solo riff subside into a chaotic cacophony of crashing drums and elastic guitars, as vocalist Lou Hanman howls “back and forward I go!” ‘Always Why’, the third album from the

Pinegrove – ‘Everything So Far’

It’s odd for a band that has offered so much over their two full lengths and several EPs to release what’s effectively a best-of album, when they only have a limited playing history and back catalogue to choose from. However, ‘Everything So Far’ is exactly that for Pinegrove, prior to last

He Is Legend – ‘few’

He Is Legend’s fifth full length release, ‘few’ is out via Spinefarm Records on April 28th and it is worth the wait. If you’re a fan that’s been waiting with baited breath and a light pocket, for this fan funded release to finally come through, you’re not going to be
