At what point did modern metalcore morph into the hardened remaster of nu metal that now dominates the vanguard of heavy music? Its biggest hitters - Bring Me the Horizon, Of Mice & Men, Motionless in White - are embracing...

Some might say Bullet For My Valentine *tempered* their fanbase with 2013's Temper Temper. Following Fever's classicly-trained metallic rallying cries with a stripped-down hard rock approach wasn't exactly the correct move for the UK Welshies, and they knew it. That's...

Never Shout Never has a way of keeping their music fresh. From Sunflower to Time Travel[ing] to asking What Is Love, there are always new ideas produced through their music. Never Shout Never has released their sixth full length studio...

American groove metal icon Lamb of God's newest release is perhaps the most frantic album the band have ever done. Though evident from the breakneck pace of blistering opener 'Still Echoes' it is the weight resting on the legendary 5-piece's...
