“Junior have lofty ambitions that are not only set out on ‘Beautiful Life’, they are largely achieved”
“Hugely ambitious, ‘Maker’ is a restless and unfocused collection”
“‘The Constance LP’ is a fantastic introduction to Lakes… The future is definitely looking bright”
‘Blood Year’ is a tribute to Russian Circles’ consistency, longevity and infinite creativity as a band”
“Bold and battle-hardened, Carnifex have created a strong bastion of a record with ‘World War X’”
“‘Rewind, Replay, Rebound’ is a heavy, anthemic and catchy record…quintessential Volbeat record”
“Northlane have created the committed, confident album you always knew they were capable of”
“An unstoppable force… ‘Human Target’ might be Thy Art Is Murder’s most impressive album yet”
‘In The Hands Of An Angry God’ is an uncompromising vision… this isn’t an album for the fainthearted”
“Thenighttimeproject’s second record will certainly not easily be forgotten, boasting the band’s ability to experiment and create melancholic songs”
“Hard rock fans will lap this up this efficiently high-impact and unapologetic collection from Through Fire”
“‘Order In Decline’ might just be the most exciting music Sum 41 have made in more than a decade”
“an unshakeably solid example of pretty much everything great about tech-metal”
“The way that Alarmist manage to so effectively evoke ideas of retro-futurism and grand-scale exploration through their choices in instrumentation alone is mightily impressive”
“Although patience is required, investing some time makes ‘Rust on the Gates of Heaven’ a rewarding listen”
“‘Sudden Sky’ is a glitzy Frankenstein’s monster style, but it works surprisingly well”
“BONES UK are full-on, forthright, and don’t care what you think”
“entertaining songs that make you want to dance and sing and have a good time”
“Strong and confident, ‘You Can Miss Something & Not Want It Back’ is crammed with lovingly crafted songs”
“‘Vulture Culture’ is the sound of Fangclub fighting their demons and spreading their wings”
“White Bat”s full-throttle approach, along with the occasional breather, makes it a career highlight for He Is Legend.”
“Baffling and brilliant, ‘Shuffle’ shows just how wildly creative Jamie Lenman can be”
“Bad Breeding have created an unflinchingly ugly portrait of modern Britain”
“‘So Divine’ culminates in a listen that rarely feels satisfying”
