ALBUM: Parkway Drive – ‘Ire’

September 26, 2015

Michael Bird

Many are the bands that can’t effectively reproduce their studio sound in a live setting; few are those who excel live to the point they can’t recreate the magic on record. Parkway Drive might be the biggest single example of the latter – each of their gigs is a ceremony of sonic intensity, mosh nirvana. […]

ALBUM: Lana Del Rey- ‘Honeymoon’

September 23, 2015

Kat Tanaciev

Lana Del Rey has recently dropped her fourth album, titled Honeymoon, which was released September 18th. In comparison to her previous albums, Honeymoon, while still having that bluesy feel everyone has come to love, seems a bit slowed down. Many of the songs on this album are slow and nostalgic, and are missing some of […]

ALBUM: Reflections – ‘The Color Clear’

September 18, 2015

Matthew Powers

When a band takes a leap from their debut album to the follow-up that ends up being so massive you believe the musicians in question possess infinite skill the result is often jaw-dropping. It’s like the sequel being better than the original in a movie trilogy – It doesn’t happen as often as we’d like. […]

ALBUM: Blessthefall – ‘To Those Left Behind’

September 18, 2015

Matthew Powers

Blessthefall’s latest work To Those Left Behind doesn’t stray far from already-claimed musical territory but does show sides of the band that previously hadn’t been explored. It’s during these moments that the album especially shines. While the heavier moments in songs such as ‘ol faithful album opener “Decayer” and the frenetic title track successfully expand […]

ALBUM: The Black Dahlia Murder – ‘Absymal’

September 12, 2015

Matthew Powers

It is not with ear-shattering shrieks and speedy guitars that The Black Dahlia Murder begin their seventh studio album ‘Abysmal’ but with an ominously-building set of classical strings. Nothing stays soft for long, though, as the track ‘Receipt’ explodes into a careening cacophony of fiersome double-bass, ever-changing rhythms and energetic melodeath riffs. Following the experimental assault of ‘Everblack’, ‘Abysmal’ is […]

ALBUM: Bring Me the Horizon – ‘That’s the Spirit’

September 11, 2015

Michael Bird

We’re a long; long way from Count Your Blessings. Deathcore, once upon a time appearing poised to infect the mainstream, is now all but banished to underground purgatory, Suicide Silence its sole surviving genuine heavyweights. But while the genre they’ve long since abandoned decays around them, its one time poster boys Bring Me the Horizon […]

ALBUM: Atreyu – ‘Long Live’

September 11, 2015

Matthew Powers

In the world of artist revivals a few names have been more sought-after than others. Disturbed recently broke their stream of silence with a monstrous alternative metal comeback and now Atreyu are making a heralded return to the metalcore fold. It’s hard to believe 6 years have passed since Atreyu’s last release ‘Congregation of The […]

ALBUM: Miley Cyrus- ‘Miley and her Dead Petz’

September 9, 2015

Kat Tanaciev

Miley Cyrus is pretty well known for her crazy antics, but by far the strangest thing Miley has done recently is release a free album. Titled Miley and her Dead Petz, this album is anything but ordinary, in fact it’s pretty insane to say the least. The 23 track long album is riddled with swearing, […]

ALBUM: The Wonder Years-‘No Closer To Heaven’

September 7, 2015

Kat Tanaciev

This year we’ve seen plenty of pop punk bands release great new albums including Neck Deep, The Story so Far and Knuckle Puck. However, while most of these bands stuck to their comfort zones and are still fairly new, The Wonder Years have been around for quite some time now, and have shown much growth […]

September 3, 2015

Kat Tanaciev

Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past six months, you’ve probably heard of Halsey. She is a 20 year old indie pop artist from New Jersey. Her brand new album Badlands was released on the 28th of August and has already received a lot of attention. You’ve probably seen countless pictures of her […]
