The Dali Thundering Concept are looking to take the progressive metal world by storm with their second full length album ‘Savages’. They have taken the experience they have gained since the release of ‘Eyes Wide Opium’ and honed their skills to devastating effect.

Nottingham based rockers Eva Plays Dead have just released their EP The Fix and it’s definitely a fix of something! Plugging away in the independent scene is never easy, but this EP is something of a resurgence for a band who’ve played with the likes of Alien Ant Farm, Skindred and Devilskin, amongst others.

Reigning Days bring the rock with the release of their new record Eclipse, recently dropped via Marshall Records - is this debut album going to be groundbreaking or leave fans wanting more?

The boys from Byron Bay return with their sixth full length studio full-length 'Reverence', and have prepared an album that moves them even further away from their humble metalcore beginnings than their previous outing ‘Ire’.

If the rest of Trivium’s career is made up of shows like this and albums like The Sin and the Sentence, they won’t go down as that band who followed the leaders; they’ll go down as leaders on their own terms.

Now in their eleventh year as a band, Watford quartet Lower Than Atlantis aren’t showing any sign of slowing down. Currently embarking on a twenty-two date tour across the UK we caught their show in Southampton’s Engine Rooms with support coming from The Faim and Milk Teeth.

Cancer Bats have always been known for doing things outside of the box and they've done just that by dropping their brand new album The Spark That Moves without prior warning, surprising fans across the globe with the follow up to 2015's Searching For Zero. With another remarkable album under their belts, it's awesome to see Cancer Bats are back and doing things exactly the way they want.

The workhorses that are Palm Reader are back with their third full length album, looking to build upon the already firm foundations that they have made from themselves in British heavy music. ‘Braille’ looks to be the perfect record for a metal/hardcore fan who is looking for something with a little more depth and thought involved, and Palm Reader have more of that than most of the other acts in the game right now.

Following on from their 2015 debut album Good Intent, Press To Meco have returned with follow up album Here’s To The Fatigue. With a bigger sound, more experience under their belt and the media attention they deserve this 11 track release is going to keep the successes heading their way.

Blessthefall return with their sixth full length studio album, and with the critically well received 'To Those Left Behind' now firmly in their rear view mirror it is anyone's guess what approach the metalcore veterans will take on their latest album 'Hard Feelings'.
