ALBUM REVIEW: Editors – EBM

'EBM' is partly a return to form for Editors, and partly a leap into a new direction. The songs have a sense of urgency and immediacy that’s been missing for a while, but which has now found its way back into the sounds employed by the Birmingham collective. The addition of Blanck Mass, too, has proved beneficial, as it has breathed new life into the band’s sound, and we can’t wait to see where it will take them and how it will evolve further.

ALBUM REVIEW: Behemoth – Opvs Contra Natvram

Behemoth are a 21st century black metal band who are creating a legacy. After their ground-breaking 2014 LP 'The Satanist', the band seemingly haven’t stopped touring. Their brand of brutality and at times, melody, has seen them go to the top of many festival bills. So, does their latest full-length effort live up to their previous work?

ALBUM REVIEW: Maggie Lindemann – SUCKERPUNCH

The 'Paranoia' EP set the bar pretty high when it was released last year, but 'SUCKERPUNCH' will definitely live up to those expectations. Though some songs are easily outshined by others, this is a more than solid effort, especially for a debut album, and the soul that Maggie Lindemann has put into the making of this record is impossible to ignore.

ALBUM REVIEW: Dear Seattle – Someday

As summer nights fade into cosy autumn days, so does our desire for summer anthems. Instead of vivacious tunes to cheers tinnies in the park to, we crave mellowed nostalgic playlists we can sip Pumpkin Spiced Lattes to. A seasonal transition that Aussie indie-rock quartet Dear Seattle’s new album, 'Someday', nails.

ALBUM REVIEW: Parkway Drive – Darker Still

Parkway Drive are one of the great modern metal bands. Growing from their metalcore roots to a classic metal style that incorporates everything from whistling to orchestras, they have certainly divided opinion - so does 'Darker Still' settle this?
