Sea Girls ride on a live high during their sold-out show at beautiful Brixton.
We have waited far too long for a new album from Vildhjarta, with their previous effort, the superb extended play 'Thousands of Evils', released more than eight years ago. It was important for the Swedes to come back with a bang and leave a lasting impact on their awaiting audience. Fortunately, they do not deal in low quality output and their new release, 'måsstaden under vatten', is a testament to that very fact.
Is Frank Carter the greatest rock star of this generation? From jumping into crowds from crazy heights to getting a giant spider tattooed on his head – he’s as punk as it gets. The band’s first three records were raw, heavy, in-your-face guitar music that took no prisoners, so how does their latest effort 'Sticky' hold up?
Summer has come to an end and it’s the time of year to watch a horror movie as we fast approach Halloween. What could be better? A horror album might just do the trick… or treat. Will Ice Nine Kills' new album, 'The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood', be the ultimate soundtrack to the Halloween season?

Metalcore is, for the most part, a creatively moribund genre. As with all scenes, it’s not without its trailblazers and its cult diamonds in the rough, but ultimately it’s a form of music that’s swapped intensity for formulas, and sincerity for tropes. Dying Wish are a metalcore band. But they’ve got no resemblance to the kinds of band that have just been mentioned. This is metalcore circa 2002: vital, visceral and venomous. A sound that’s pleasingly retro, without ever feeling dated. And it’s great.
Trivium are undoubtedly one of the greatest metal acts to come out of the 21st century. For the last 18 years they’ve been churning out great record after great record like it’s nobody’s business, and with such a quick turnaround for their last record, does 'In The Court Of The Dragon' further cement Trivium’s future place in the metal hall of fame?
Bring Me The Horizon at The O2 offered a thrilling glimpse into a glitchy technological cyber future of live music.
