Danny Worsnop – ‘The Long Road Home’

Recently returned lead singer of Asking Alexandria Danny Worsnop makes a drastic change of direction with his first solo album. Country albums are normally filled with tales of bars, whiskey and girls and, as you’d expect, Worsnop has more than a few of those. The album itself gets of to

Meat Wave – ‘The Incessant’

Chris Sutter seems to be looking over his shoulder a lot. There’s something matching his footsteps, something that he can’t quite place, an “anxious doom” demanding “payment due,” shapelessly shifting, “coming for you”. It’s nameless, but he calls it ‘The Incessant,’ on the title track of this

Ghost Iris – ‘Blind World’

Danish quartet Ghost Iris return with ‘Blind World’, a ten-track masterclass in tech-metal that combines the polar opposites of crunching heaviness with soaring melody to form irresistible vocal hooks wrapped around brutally massive riffs. Wasting absolutely no time getting stuck in, first track ‘Gods of Neglect’ is blisteringly heavy. The

Ghost Key – ‘If I Don’t Make It’

Ghost Key, as a hardcore band, are already in a saturated market but ‘If I Don’t Make It’ is set to label them as ones to watch and it won’t be long before they’re wriggling above the flood of other similar artists and surfing safely

Darko ‘Bonsai Mammoth’

Group Of Man – ‘World Peace Champions’

‘We Are Good People’, claimed the title of UK post-hardcore troupe Group Of Man’s 2015 debut EP. Its follow up, released in January 2017, goes by the name ‘World Peace Champions’. It seems that Group Of Man have quite the high opinions of themselves (or are just

Wiegedood – ‘De Doden Hebben Het Goed II’

Amenra are one of the most powerful and important underground bands of the last 20 years. It’s a bold statement, but one that cannot be ignored. Their influence as artists spreads far and wide across the European heavy music scene, so much so that an entire collective

Iron Reagan – ‘Crossover Ministry’

While revivals come and go like the weather, thrash has never needed one because it has always been there. Some bands reach more success than others, but there is always a high quality of music coming from the underground. Iron Reagan are one of the leaders of the new

Ocean Grove – ‘The Rhapsody Tapes’

Every once in a while, a band drops a debut album that becomes a reference point. These debuts can shape not only the creator’s career, but also the future work of others that are yet to even take their first breaths. Of course, there are no guarantees in this

Allison Crutchfield – ‘Tourist In This Town’

Allison Crutchfield is no stranger to making powerful music. Having already spent time honing her craft in P.S Eliot along with her sister, Katie – who you will know from the excellent Waxahatchee – and Swearin’, Crutchfield has expanded into a different avenue with ‘Tourist In This Town’. It
