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 […]

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: Crossfaith – ‘Xeno’

September 11, 2015

Michael Bird

Considering the furore surrounding Babymetal, it’s a wonder more people haven’t taken notice of Japan’s far more serious recent metal export. Coming to the attention of the Western world via their killer Zion EP, Crossfaith stood out among the electronicore masses thanks to the strikingly organic fusion of the heavy and the synthesised, and 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: I See Stars – ‘Phases’

August 31, 2015

Alex Lizette

Stepping out of their comfort zone to bring their audience something new, I See Stars has released their unplugged album, Phases. For the electronicore band to release such raw sound, opposed to the mixture of EDM and heavy instrumentals, is truly a form of growth. Who would’ve thought breakdowns would turn into cello playing and […]

ALBUM: The Weeknd – ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’

August 29, 2015

Michael Bird

2011 was a weird, weird year for music. Its best rock record was released by a band that wouldn’t exist fourteen months later; Adele went from recognisably gifted soul songstress to the biggest artist of the 21st century. A young man named Abel Tesfaye, meanwhile, would dub himself The Weeknd and put out three – […]
