Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend three months in a bunker in a desert? I do not expect many with a sane mentality will have ever had it cross your mind but for those of you with a penchant for some very specific mushrooms Jay Buchanon, the lead singer of Rival Sons is here with his first solo album to answer all your deepest and twisted questions.
Secret Rule are another brand new name to me, so I decided that the best thing to do would be to just take this album solely on its own merits before delving into their background. That way I’d have nothing to colour my perceptions other than the music as it stands here and now.
40 Years, Four Decades of snarling ferocity but now on their own terms Megadeth have decided to close the curtain on their illustrious career with one final self-titled outpouring of historical reflection with the aptly self-titled Megadeth.
I love music. Like, I really love it. I’ve loved metal and rock since I could hold a guitar. And despite only knowing how to break the headstock by dropping the damn thing, I could hold it long before I could play it.
The band that is being pushed as the next big thing release an album that may just be the proof in the pudding. They are new, exciting and as raw as an 80s sleaze band. If you have not heard of the Bristolonians let me take you through a journey that is as eclectic as it is amazing.
Review by Rick Eaglestone for MPM German thrash titans return with their latest album – the band describe Krushers of the World as a statement, and whilst in part I am inclined to agree although not only does the aesthetic splash this all over the artwork, but it sounds like it has been conjured from the bowels of hell It …
Some box sets exist to tidy up a back catalogue. Others exist to remind you, rather loudly, proudly, and with absolute conviction that a band was far better, far bigger, and far more important than history sometimes gives them credit for.
’ll level with you straight away: normally I spend days living inside an album before I even think about writing a review. I soak it in, spin it repeatedly, let it breathe, let it bruise, let it get under my skin.
After a huge selling arena tour with their 'other' band Creed, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Philips have reunited with Myles Kennedy to carry on the always upwards trajectory of Alter Bridge, reconvening for this, their eighth full length opus.
Back in January 2024 I reviewed the debut Cassidy Paris album for this very website. It was, as I remember, a competent but unremarkable body of work, but one that somehow hinted that much more and better was to come and this is indeed the case as Bittersweet is a real improvement on its predecessor.
Quarter of a century. Twenty-five years. An entire generation has passed since Static-X unleashed their debut upon an unsuspecting world, and here we are in 2025, still reeling from the seismic impact of Wisconsin Death Trip.
I don’t think anyone was really surprised that Mike Portnoy returned to the drum stool in Dream Theater; it was always a case of when. While the change was unexpected at the time it occurred, it was in fact perfectly timed to celebrate the band’s 40th Anniversary with a tour of Europe and North America.
Las Vegas sisters Jyl and Jules Wylde have been making quite the impression on TikTok, information which I reliably informed from the ladies of my household whose ears immediately pricked up at their mere mention so not only have I been introduced to a new group but also a subgenre "baddiecore”
For those who might be late to the party, Annisokay have spent the better part of their career refusing to be pigeonholed.
Hair metal heroes Midnite City are back with album number five and 11 arena-filled anthems that will take you back to MTVs heyday.
We know Canada has a history of incredible rock trio's and like a persistant itch Danko Jones has been eating away at the music business to burst their way into that conversation and with latest album Leo Rising they have shown that they just cannot be ignored.
