Mastodon – ‘Emperor Of Sand’

It’s hard to argue that Mastodon are not one of the biggest metal bands on the planet right now. They seem to be one of the natural successors to the throne when the gods of yesteryear finally depart these lands, placing them as one of the next potential arena

Body Count – ‘Bloodlust’

Ice T and his band of rockers return for their sixth studio release ‘Bloodlust’ and they’ve got many a message for the masses in this most turbulent time. Yes, this is firstly a metal album fronted by a man undoubtedly best known for his hip hop success, but behind

Telepathy – ‘Tempest’

Post-rock and post-metal are, when at their very best, an elemental musical force capable of lifting the listener into a higher plane of consciousness. It is music as cinematic and breathtaking as it is emotionally devastating. The first time you hear Isis’ ‘Oceanic’ or Pelican’s ‘Australasia’, you’re

Brutality Will Prevail – ‘In Dark Places’

After a short and unplanned hiatus Brutality Will Prevail are back and they’re not fucking around. ‘In Dark Places’ sees the band returning to full form as well as being more ferocious than ever. Having once again teamed up with Holy Roar, there has been a cloud of suspense

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. If facing controversy in his home country of Poland due to the satanic nature of Behemoth’s

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.
