Creeper – ‘Eternity, In Your Arms’

Creeper have released a life-changing album; one that provides a much needed, punk rock respite from the acidity of the outside world at a time when we really need some new, inspiring music to get excited about. ‘Eternity In Your Arms’ has been a long time coming from the

Me and That Man – ‘Songs of Love and Death’

The man known as Nergal has not had the easiest journey. Despite fronting Behemoth, one of most critically and commercially successful blackened death metal bands of all time, Nergal has encountered many obstacles.

Pallbearer – ‘Heartless’

Little Rock, Arkansas-based doom wizards Pallbearer caused quite a stir back in 2014 with the release of their second full length, ‘Foundations Of Burden’. Their blend of heavy doom riffing and gentler, more airy prog elements captured the attention of both critics and fans alike, and left both camps

Vukovi – ‘Vukovi’

Scotland’s greatest exports are arguably oil and whisky, but if this album from Vukovi is anything to go by then the Troon quartet could join the list. Key to this impending world domination is their sound: simply put this is a band that are like nothing else out there.

She Must Burn – Grimoire

Putting out music that challenges the listener is always a risk. The chance of success is more likely to be dwarfed by the near certainty of some kind of failure. When She Must Burn released their self titled EP a while back they gambled on people liking their mix

Counterfeit – ‘Together We Are Stronger’

London punk rockers Counterfeit explode into existence with the release of their debut record ‘Together We Are Stronger’. We might only be mid-way through March but there’s already been a sleuth of debut releases of exemplary quality and this album is no different. Opening track ‘Washed Out’ kicks the album

Planning For Burial – ‘Below The House’

There is nothing about the music of Planning For Burial that could be deemed conventional; at least not in terms of style. For Thom Wasluck there are no boundaries or genre confines to adhere to with his art, owing him the freedom to create a sound unlike any other.
