Whilst Christmas, birthdays and the wallet-busting promise of a council tax increase come once a year, Godflesh albums usually take a bit longer to arrive, but when they do, it's a beautiful moment to savour and we should celebrate the kings of “feel-bad” music.

This was always going to be a difficult record both to record and even to listen to. An album which takes aims and lands squarely in the feels. 'But Here We Are' has landed just a year after the sudden passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins and the scars of that loss on Foos mainman Dave Grohl aren’t just clear to see, and hear, they are front and centre and dominate a handful of the tracks.

A rowdy and RUCKUS! crowd ram into The Underworld, making Movements’ Slam Dunk warm-up show “The best show we have played in London by far.” 

The genre-spanning music festival took over Brockwell Park.

We made our annual visits to Slam Dunk Festival, find out what happened here.

With the style of Bad Omens and the swagger of nothing, nowhere. Kid Brunswick’s Omera headliner proves the hip hop and heavy worlds can collide in perfect harmony. 

This orchestra were in town and we were delighted to be at their sold out show.

More captivating than a complete solar eclipse, Dayseeker stunned and shone bright during the climax of their UK tour down at a sold-out Islington O2 Academy. 

We headed down to check out some tunes in the Perranporth dunes.

What do you get when some of the world’s best metal bands come together to record an album? 'Horns For A Halo' by the metal supergroup, Elegant Weapons. With Vandenberg and Rainbow’s Ronnie Romero (vocals), Judas Priest’s Richie Faulkner (guitars), Uriah Heep’s Dave Rimmer (bass) and Accept’s Christopher Williams (drums), 'Horns For A Halo' is an ode to the heavy metal of the 70s and 80s.
