Prince Of Failure – ‘PRINCE OF FAILURE’

Music is basically mathematics, and there is a rule. A simple one. One that is always correct. Two plus two equals four. When people start talking about supergroups, they seem to think this doesn’t apply. Prince Of Failure are a new project consisting of the instrumental virtuoso

Des Rocs – ‘To Hell And Back’

With hindsight, the collaboration between Des Rocs and the Borderlands franchise feels so obvious. Both the artist and the looter-shooter game series channel a renegade energy, whether you’re fighting off maniacs on an alien planet or singing about New York bikers with a heavy old-school rock influence. Both draw

BIG|BRAVE – ‘in grief or in hope’

It’s amazing to think there was a time when BIG|BRAVE performed as an acoustic project. During the early 2010s, the then-nascent band were a folk duo. Their evolution since – from duo to trio – has dramatically broadened the band’s scope. During this time, the Canadians have traversed most

Sleeping With Sirens – ‘An Ending In Itself’

Sometimes you just need a little pick-me-up from the stresses of daily life from someone who gets it. That’s what the new Sleeping With Sirens album is; a friend when you’re in need of a helping hand. The arc that they’ve followed over the last two records is completed

Death Cab For Cutie – ‘I Built You A Tower’

Let’s say you’ve just had a fight with a loved one: heated emotions, hasty phrases thrown and muscles locked with stress. Then you take a break and really think about what they mean to you, and which path you want to take next. That exact sensation of walking through

Guilt Trip – ‘Armour Of Angels’

Every now and then, a band will release an album that takes them from being mere contenders to cementing them as genre heavyweights; for Manchester’s metallic-hardcore five-piece Guilt Trip, ‘Armour Of Angels’ is one such LP. Whilst only being the band’s third full length release, ‘Armour Of Angels’ finds

Evanescence – ‘Sanctuary’

Evanescence are rock survivors. Despite the internet rumour that the entire band died years ago, they are very much alive, and after five years of soul-searching, have emerged from the studio with a stronger, bolder sound in the form of their sixth album, ‘Sanctuary’. It’s a record that firmly feels

Converge – ‘HUM OF HURT’

In 2024, the BBC aired a four-part series called The Listeners. Based on the Jordan Tannahill novel, the drama follows Claire, an English teacher driven to insanity by a continuous and inexplicable ambient sound. While the story is fictional, the phenomenon, known as “the hum”, is well-documented. Instances of

Sparta – ‘CUT A SILHOUETTE’

Imagine the scene, if you haven’t already experienced it. You’re sitting in a dentist’s chair. You’re nervous, you don’t know what’s going to happen. Your wandering eyes settle on a humorous sign that reads: “Dentists don’t die, they just lose their pull”. You’re unsure if it’s a

All Them Witches – ‘HOUSE OF MIRRORS’

Longevity is an underrated skill. To keep a band alive and still be making music years after breaking out is something to be valued. It takes persistence and commitment just to keep it going, let alone make a quality album. After six years without releasing new music,
