Emmure – ‘Hindsight’

Emmure have undergone quite the transformation over the last few years. In late 2015, the entire instrumental section of the band left, leaving vocalist Frankie Palmeri to front a band with no members. Unwilling to let the band fade away, Palmeri quickly found new recruits – former

Remo Drive – ‘A Portrait Of An Ugly Man’

Seven months after the release of their mature pop-rock album ‘Natural, Everyday Degradation’, Minnesota’s Remo Drive are back with album number three. ‘A Portrait Of An Ugly Man’ might follow hot on its heels, but it is by no means a carbon copy of what went before. The duo

New Found Glory – ‘Forever And Ever x Infinity’

When it comes to alternative music, and especially the fickle land of pop punk, no band gets to have a 20+ year career without having something special about them. Among them, and showing no signs of slowing down, are New Found Glory; with more than two decades of ups

Mushroomhead – ‘A WONDERFUL LIFE’

Think Mushroomhead and it is the garish masks and make-up that immediately spring to mind. Their music is a mix of industrial flavoured heavy metal, and since 1993 they have sold millions of records. Record number eight, ‘A Wonderful Life’, is their first in six years and is a

Make Them Suffer – ‘How To Survive A Funeral’

A few years ago, Make Them Suffer would’ve been a name that you associated with deathcore or death metal. The Aussie quintet quickly rose to prominence, largely due to the uncontrollable rage and punishment that was confined in their music, which they very slowly and smoothly began to evolve

Lamb Of God – ‘Lamb Of God’

Since their formation in the mid-late 90s, Lamb Of God have become one of the biggest, most successful and most enduring bands in heavy music. They seem to be one of those rare bands that are liked, or at least respected, by hardened underground metalheads and casual, surface-level metal

Protest The Hero – ‘Palimpsest’

Protest The Hero is a name we haven’t seen in a little while, but for a very understandable reason. During a world tour celebrating the ten year anniversary of their second record ‘Fortress’, front man Rody Walker blew out his voice and his worst nightmare became a

Bad Cop/Bad Cop – ‘The Ride’

Bad Cop/Bad Cop are fighting the good fight. They are stoking the revolution, calling out injustices, and preaching the importance of self-love. The Los Angeles-quartet’s third full-length record, ‘The Ride’, is highly prophetic and arrives at precisely the right time to capture the mood of this deeply

Atavist – ‘III: Absolution’

Brutal, horrifying, unrelenting. Whatever way you look at it, the long-awaited third album from Mancunian extreme metallers Atavist is a progressive and challenging listen. If you’re looking for something uplifting, look elsewhere. If you want the soundtrack to your summer, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a gateway

Shape Of Water – ‘Great Illusions’

Imagine it: cool wind in your face, hot summer sun on your back and all the time in the world as you cruise down the scenery of *insert dream road trip destination here* in your *insert dream road trip car here*. It’s not exactly a
