THECITYISOURS- ‘COMA’

With the loss of previous singer Sam Stolliday, it can only be imagined that British metalcore outfit THECITYISOURS find themselves in harsh new territory, both emotionally and musically, as they attempt to navigate the murky waters of a sophomore record. It’s not an easy feat under so

Every Time I Die – ‘Radical’

It’s been a long, long time since we last got a full length album from Buffalo hardcore legends Every Time I Die – five years to be exact – but that wait is finally over. After sharing their first taste of new music towards the end of a

Don Broco – ‘Amazing Things’

Every Don Broco album has seemed to improve on the last. The Japanese term “kaizen” describes perpetual development for the better and this perfectly denotes the band’s journey since their inception back in 2008. ‘Amazing Things’ doesn’t just follow suit and continue the trend, it shatters all

Dooms Children – ‘Dooms Children’

More commonly known for his raspy vocals as Alexisonfire’s rhythm guitarist and leading from the front of Gallows’ post-Frank Carter evolution, Wade MacNeil is getting a little more experimental with his new project Dooms Children. The group’s debut self-titled LP is a deeply personal and emotional record in which

Twelve Foot Ninja – ‘Vengeance’

Nobody said keeping a low profile as an abnormally large assassin would be easy, but for Melbourne rockers and multimedia artists Twelve Foot Ninja, their newest record is hard to ignore. ‘Vengeance’ sees the group pull out some of the most unique styles and sounds in their

Ice Nine Kills – ‘The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood’

Listener beware, you’re in for a scare. At least, that’s what Ice Nine Kills would hope for you with ‘The Silver Scream 2’. Like the original TSS, ‘Welcome To Horrorwood’ sees frontman Spencer Charnas and co. lead us through a cavalcade of horror-themed tracks, each an homage

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes – ‘Sticky’

At what point do you stop talking about Frank Carter’s previous ventures pre-Rattlesnakes? After three records they are headlining bigger festivals and playing to bigger crowds than Pure Love and Gallows ever did combined. That isn’t to diminish the achievements of either band, but you do feel

Noah Gundersen – ‘A Pillar Of Salt’

The declaration of “This city was built on the back of a spirit I don’t feel anymore” makes for a rather grim outlook at first glance but ‘A Pillar Of Salt’ isn’t intentionally morose, at least that’s not what it’s trying for. Instead, the fifth album from

Malrun – ‘Pandemonium’

There’s a lot to get loud about these days. Whether you’re angry over the state of the world, or something more personal, there’s never been a better time to stick on something aggressive and deafening to offer a cathartic release. Somewhere between old school power metal, modern
