Despite the difficult gig dilemma going down in London on June 13th, the mighty Deftones blasted the roof off O2 Forum Kentish Town with their balance of hushed beautiful vocals and guitar riff brutality, one that has not toned down since the 90’s and never should it ever. 

2022 has been a year full of ups in the music industry, with many bands returning from hiatus, stacked festival line-ups and a constant supply of music being released that satisfies the ears of anyone who presses play.  Clearly wanting in on a piece of the action, Vatican decided to drop their new album 'ULTRA' - here's what we thought of the band's latest release.

It’s undeniable that nobody loves touring more than The Faim, so what better way to release an album than in the midst of a UK, Europe and Australian tour. Several songs featured on their upcoming album 'Talk Talk' have been previewed during their live performances, leaving fans restlessly counting down the days until they can hear the album in full.

Twenty One Pilots Takeover Tour took over London Town for a slow graduation of shows that saw the perplexing hyper-visuals grow as this innovative modern rock duo’s career continues to ascend. 

Oldham hardcore returns to London, as Outbreak Fest looms on the horizon. 

Conjurer are one of the UK’s best metal outfits that you may not have heard of. Their 2018 debut 'Mire' added a sound that the extreme metal scene has never heard before. Years of touring and perfecting their craft have passed, and 'Páthos' is the result. So, has it been worth the wait?

As our epic weekend at Download drew to a close, it was left in the hands of the Sunday line-up to round it off in style.

With 'Nocturnal', Mothica continues to prove that the alt-pop and heavy music spheres shouldn’t just co-exist - they can safely bump into one another, as when they do, great results can and do come out. By taking her past and present experiences with trauma and mental illness, and coating them in poppy melodies driven by heavy guitars, she has crafted one of the finest and heaviest alt-pop albums in recent memory, if not of the whole year.

SeeYouSpaceCowboy down at New Cross Inn was in equal measures heavy, chaotic and confrontational all over.

After an incredible start to our Download Festival weekend, we were back for the fun which day two was set to bring!
