When done absolutely perfectly, a good pop bop can melt anyone's heart, and get them moving to the beat, from the most grizzled of metalheads to the stuffiest of connoisseurs. Getting that formula right is an art in itself, but with their debut album 'Lovecore', Brighton alt-pop band Orchards make it look almost easy.

The band reveal another single from their forthcoming album, check it out here.

Formed in 2019, Mexican melodic death metallers Afterfall have already been giving fans a taste of their upcoming album with their singles 'Maere' and 'Requiem'. With lyrical themes that are based on a fiction novel written by the band, each single represents a chapter of the story and delivers a unique sound that incorporates metal elements with Middle-Eastern instruments and baroque orchestration. We sat down with the band to find out more about their musical style, what it's like to start a band in Mexico and more.

The video looks back over the last ten years since the band's formation.

The new video coincides with the band's European tour this month.

The single comes ahead of some rare live performances from the songwriting team.
