“Mallory Knox have taken a risk… a harsher and dirtier album”
“Torchbearer have the riffs and a solid sound, but they are sorely lacking a spark”
“Baffling and brilliant, ‘Shuffle’ shows just how wildly creative Jamie Lenman can be”
“‘The Disconnect’ is a solid, confident expression of their sound”
“Charly Bliss confidently integrate new elements, retain their clever lyricism and push their songwriting”
“Focused, frantic and absolutely furious… ‘Berserker’ is one of Amon Amarth’s career highlights.
“
“Trade Wind play with a tapestry of sounds both alien and beautiful to create a strange, ethereal record”
“‘Rock Bottom’ solidifies Scream Blue Murder’s sound and is a remarkably assured beast.”
American War Machine revel in their collective strength, offering uncompromising hardcore punk, which is exactly what you get.
Toronto’s PUP are back with their third LP, which as the title suggests, sees frontman Stefan Babcock and the gang deal with dark life experiences by being able to laugh at yourself and get through them with a sense of community
Periphery manage to push their sound forward, building on their strengths in both engaging and exciting fashion.
“‘Trauma’ is the sound of a band stumbling around trying to find an identity”
“Backyard Babies wallow in their weaknesses… this isn’t a medal-winner, it doesn’t even deserve the wooden spoon.”
“What ‘Distance Over Time’ lacks in excess it makes up for in focus and power”
Once again, the Persistence Tour offered a stacked bill of hardcore, metal, punk and thrash.
AH’s Tim Birkbeck headed to the standalone UK date in London.
“Hold Close’s attempt to add new dimensions to their pop-punk tones doesn’t quite utilise to their full potential.”
Arcane Roots depart with a wheezy sigh than an elegant swansong on ‘Landslide’.
“Finish What You’ve Started’ is the sound of a band trying their very hardest”
