Alter Eden – ‘Tigers & Lambs’

‘Tigers & Lambs’ may only be the second EP from Midlands four-piece Alter Eden but straight from the off it provides an incredibly polished sound that some bands can only hope to achieve. Their blend of melodic vocals and enticing riffs are an almost perfect fit and

Ruetz – ‘Melanoma’

There’s a scene at the beginning of the (not exactly wonderful) movie ‘Prometheus’ that shows one of the Engineers sacrificing itself, breaking itself down at a molecular level in order to seed new life on a young planet. If you’ll allow this terrible excuse for an Alien prequel to

From Rust – ‘Lost Sense of Life’

Metalcore is saturated and ridiculed. It comes with a tough crowd to please, and the odds are stacked against those who dream of making an impact. Despite this, Britain is still pretty good at plucking out a jewel and giving them a polish, so the hopefuls continue to queue
