Earlier this year, London-based trio Black Orchid Empire exploded onto the scene and captivated hearts with their singles ‘God Is Awake’ and ‘Come In’.

Witchery – ‘In His Infernal Majesty’s Service’

It’s been 6 agonising years since Sweden’s blackened thrash-meisters Witchery last unleashed their brand of furious devilment upon the world with 2010’s ‘Witchkreig’.

I Prevail’s debut album is finally here after huge anticipation. So who are these guys? I Prevail became an online sensation after their cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’ went viral on Facebook. The events that have transpired since this has seen five piece post hard-core band touring across the states

Ray Toro – ‘Remember The Laughter’

We’ve heard Ray might have been in a pretty famous band once upon a time. When band members head off on their own, it never tends to be as good as the original line up. When it does work, however, they’ve gone in an entirely new direction. Ray Toro

The Empty Page – ‘Unfolding’

Going on a nice relaxing holiday can do wonders for the mind and body. No surprise then that when former Obsessive Compulsive duo Kelii and Giz returned from an extended walkabout they immediately set about forming a new band with creative juices at dam bursting levels. The result is
