Forming for a project at ArcTanGent in 2018, the members of Pijn & Conjurer have unleashed one of the best surprise releases of the year. Described by ArcTanGent organiser, James Scarlett, as “like Baroness playing Pink Floyd,” 'Curse These Metal Hands' combines driving riffs and gang vocals with moments of crushing power and peaceful reflection.

It's been a whirlwind journey for UK metallers Conjurer, who have been non-stop since the release of their debut album 'Mire'. From countless festival appearances to their debut US tour, awards nominations and endless praise of their first full-length, the band have been going from strength to strength - and this is just the beginning. We recently caught up with bassist Conor Marshall, who was kind enough to sit down with us at 2000trees, to talk about their success so far, their project with label mates Pijn and more.

2000trees is one of our favourite festivals, ever. The 2019 edition had an absolutely stacked line-up and we at Bring The Noise UK spent all three days rushing around like crazy, trying to catch as much as possible. A arrival slightly later than planned, thanks to the ever wonderful traffic coming out of South Wales, meant that we were unable to catch the very start of the festival. However, we managed to cram a load of great bands in and still had an incredible day one!

Jade Jackson makes her anticipated return with her second album 'Wilderness'. Jackson has used past experiences of addiction and self doubt, to turn out her most introspective and personal music to date.

With the release of their debut full length record 'Through Love & Death, You’re All I Have Left', Scottish sad rockers Dude Trips have placed themselves in a great position to become your new favourite band.

Zeal & Ardor brought their unique sound to London in December, and the results are captured in the aptly titled 'Live In London' album for us to experience.

Veteran hardcore stars Polar return with 'Nova', their fourth full length, and by their own account, most personal work to date. A newfound maturity and experimentation sees the band build on their last effort with mixed results.

From Sorrow to Serenity make their anticipated return with new album 'Reclaim'. Their first full-length with new vocalist Gaz King, 'Reclaim' sees the band build on the very accomplished 'Remnant of Humanity' with an album that should please metalcore fans and push them to the next level.
