Versatile Aussie electro pop-rockers continue to show promise through a plethora of infectious hook.
With a new line-up, the longtime UK metalcore bruisers return with an abundance of determination and muscular execution
Poppy’s metal-leaning sixth album sees her deliver a cohesive and introspective record which could be her best yet.
The Minneapolis trio step up with an impressive anthemic and introspective third full-length
The divisive return of one of this century’s most influential rock leans as much into the past while moving forward reinvigorated
UK alt-metal/metalcore upstarts Defences look to breakout from the crowd with promising and cohesive third album.
The pop-punk specialists deliver a routine fifth album with a hint of vulnerability amongst its big hooks.
Chicago newcomers lean into their emo and alt-rock influences on promising debut full-length
“The Australian duo serve up a mellow, reflective and uncomplicated journey”
Despite their dynamism, High Vis lack a lasting impression as they continue to look to the past on their third album
The combination of Bolm’s passionate, mentally weathered, and relatable songwriting, and a robust musical unit makes for a collection of anthemic and stirring songs.
Delta Sleep confidently take progressive steps on fifth album ‘Blue Garden’ yet never abandon their emotional math-rock tendencies.
SoCal punk legends provide a cutthroat exploration of reliable tropes with occasional (and subtle) twists, and a barrage of catchy moments.
Your Life is Over Now…’ is a thoroughly enjoyable album that grows with every listen, made up by a tight, consistent batch of songs.
Sugar Horse should no longer feel like to be the “butt of the joke” as ‘The Grand Scheme Of Things’ deserves plenty of praise.
‘Heaven Can Wait’ is threaded by a relentless lyrical fury that rarely lets up, backed by a thoroughly bold and sonically rousing sound.
The New Yorkers’ fifth album sees them deliver a well-balanced mix of texture, density, and proven storytelling into a tight-knit ball of punk-driven and dulcet hardcore
There continues to be a magnetic quality to Balance and Composure’s sound… a lyrically stirring and musically rich and layered return
Questionably arriving with heightened expectations, ‘Devoured By The Mouth of Hell’ sees Heriot acutely reach them.
Filled with plausible hooks and impactful breakdowns, OHOH’s farewell rarely shows signs of evolution.
‘Feeling Not Found’ is Origami Angel’s sharpest effort to date.
The Wilkes-Barre melodic hardcore group’s second album utilises old and new ideas effectively and with momentum to break out.
While ‘The Black’ has plenty of strengths, it’s partially let down by the nagging formulaic undertone.
‘In Lieu Of Flowers’ is considerably the realisation of Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties’ potential.
Chelsea Wolfe’s seventh full-length outing is equally bleak, sonically stirring, and thoroughly engaging.
