Five Minutes With

Death/thrash metal upstarts Spiritworld have been causing quite a stir in the metal world with the release of the second album 'DEATHWESTERN'. A horror/western concept album that is as crushingly heavy as it is imaginative and original. We managed to catch up with the band to discuss their roots, their ambitions and what lies ahead for them.

It's been a whirlwind second half of 2022 for Mother Vulture. The blues-punk quartet spent the summer appearing at an array of festivals including ArcTanGent, Bloodstock, and Leopalooza, followed by a UK headline tour and the recent release of their debut album 'Mother Knows Best'. Back on the road once again in support of the record, we caught up with guitarist Brodie Maguire to discuss their formation, influences, ambitions and more. 

Nu-punks Cherie Amour are making their mark with their debut album 'Spiritual Ascension', a striking blend of punk rock, pop-punk, electronic-tinged pop and hip-hop. We caught up with the quartet following their album release to discuss their formation, ambitions, influences and what's next for the band. 

Rock quartet InTechnicolour are back with their new album 'Midnight Heavyweight', alongside tour dates with labelmates Skin Failure. We caught up with vocalist Tobie Anderson to discuss the band's formation, influences, ambitions and more. 

German duo Kill Strings have released their striking debut album 'LIMBO', combining elements of Royal Blood, Muse and Depeche Mode into an irresistible blend of alt-rock. We caught up with vocalist/guitarist Lee surrounding the album's release to discuss the band's formation, influences, ambitions, future plans and more. 

Australian indie-rock quartet Dear Seattle return with their emotion-fuelled album 'Someday', delivering a message of reassurance throughout the eleven tracks. We caught up with vocalist/guitarist Brae Fisher following the album release to discuss the band's influences, ambitions, future plans and more. 

The world is a scary place right now and Grief Ritual are here to channel that through their debut EP 'Spiritual Disease'. Released later this week, the twenty-minute record explores the stripping away of human rights, increased poverty and wealth inequality, all wrapped up in a punishing concoction of blackened metallic hardcore, post-metal, and black/death metal. We caught up with vocalist Jamie Waggett to discuss Grief Ritual's band's formation, influences, ambitions and more. 

If you like your rock with a touch of pop and 80s inspiration, then allows us to introduce you to German rock outfit blacktoothed. We caught up with the band's lead vocalist Hendrik following the release of their new album 'JULI', to discuss their formation, ambitions, future plans and more.  

Max Bemis is back, four years since Say Anything announced their hiatus, with his brand new solo album under the moniker Maxim Mental - and sounds nothing like you may expect. We caught up with Bemis following the release to discuss the new project, his pathway as an artist, influences and more. 

Four years after their sophomore full-length 'Empty Black', progressive post-hardcore quartet Greyhaven are back with their chaotic new album 'This Bright And Beautiful World'. We caught up with vocalist Brent Mills following the release to discuss the band's formation, influences, ambitions and more.
