Chamber – Cost Of Sacrifice

Modern metal is rife with sub-genres. So many ideas come and go, trends rise and fall, and we all seem to find it impossible not to try and fit a band into some sort of mould as soon as we hear them. Every now and again, though, a

Pallbearer – ‘Forgotten Days’

Three years on from their previous release, Arkansas doom rockers Pallbearer are back with their fourth studio album ‘Forgotten Days’, which sees a return to their earlier doom roots and heavy, crushing sound. Although written last year, the darker themes of the album feel particularly apt as a reflection

iDKHOW – ‘Razzmatazz’

The princes of funk-rock have, finally, dropped their debut album ‘Razzmatazz’. I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (or iDKHOW for short), have been making waves ever since lead singer Dallon Weekes introduced the band at an LA bar in 2016. Now, two years since

Metz – ‘Atlas Vending’

Toronto has a legacy of producing outstanding bands. From PUP and Cancer bats, to Fucked Up and Broken Social Scene, there’s always been a strong outpouring of bands from the area. One band that’s seemingly overlooked in the higher echelons of Toronto superstars are Metz. Formed in Ottowa but

Slow Pulp – ‘Moveys’

By Slow Pulp’s own admission, ‘Moveys’ is a made-up word. An in-joke that can be interpreted however you wish. It can be an instance of wilful abandon, the starting gun to free your inhibitions, or something that just implores you to dance. For the Chicago four-piece, it

Venom Prison – ‘Primeval’

2020 has given all of us time and space to reflect. With ‘Primeval’, Welsh death metallers Venom Prison have given fans the opportunity to reflect on their earlier material by re-recording EPs ‘Defy the Tyrant’ and ‘The Primal Chaos’, while keeping one eye on the future by throwing in
