One of the hottest bands that should be firmly on your radar is Ukraine’s IGNEA, set to release their new album Dreams of Lands Unseen via Napalm Records on April 28, 2023. Coupled with this is the release od barnstorming new track Nomad’s Luck, which is equal parts Middle Eastern […]
We are now over half way through 2021. Whilst we cannot say the world is in much of a better place than the dumpster fire of 2020, we certainly seem to be heading in a better direction. The return of live shows and festivals here in the UK is a […]
2021 has produced plenty of stunning albums, and we’re not even half way through yet. UK metal has always provided albums worthy of the global stage. With the apocalypse of the past 18 months slowly coming to an end we can hopefully get to tearing it up in the mosh […]
Hailing from Hertfordshire, on the northern shore of Londontown England, VEXED have arrived with their debut album Culling Culture. Modern metal incarnate, taking a heavily djent influenced style of brutal deathcore, with clean melodic passages (and an absence of bree’s), VEXED have taken most of modern metal’s usual tropes and […]
If there is an album that wraps up everything about modern heavy metal in a neat package, it would be Dysphoria. Technical rhythms and brutal breakdowns. Singalong choruses designed for stadiums.

Is djent still used as a colloquial term, or do we now recognise this as a genuine genre? Often rather than using potentially a dirty word in djent, progressive metalcore is common the word of choice. I find that a little weird, how progressive metalcore can be a genre. The […]
Italian progressive metal band Where Stars Collide have released the latest track from their upcoming debut album. Rage kicks off in the most djenty way possible – possibly topping the djenty credentials of the 20 string Mountain Dew guitar. Any more stop starting and we may be thrown into an […]
French progressive metalcore (or do we still just call it djent?) crew Pathfinders have released the second single from their upcoming album Ares Vallis. Accompanied by a new music video, Imposters is a brutal head banging journey through chuggy melodic riffs and of course – a savage breakdown. Just two […]
