2021

The world may be in a poor state right now. Things feel more uncertain than ever and there are seemingly fewer and fewer things that we can cling on to with any semblance of normality. One such thing, however, is that great metal bands will continue to put out great music. Humanity’s Last Breath are one of those groups. The band have a stellar back catalogue of genre-bending extreme releases under their belt, including the critically acclaimed 2019 album 'Abyssal', and now in 2021 they are back to stake their claim as one of the most reliable metal acts in the business with 'Välde', a release that promises to be a culmination of everything they have been building to musically over the past decade.

The deluxe release celebrates the one-year anniversary of the band's debut album, 'Love Potion'.

The Polish shamanic doom metal quartet offer another taste of their forthcoming album.

The Australian punk/hardcore outfit will release their new album in March, read on to find out more.

Hurtwave is the project of Dayseeker vocalist Rory Rodriguez and drummer Mike Karle, check out their new single here.

Scottish alt-rock/post-hardcore quintet To Kill Achilles have just released their emotion-fuelled sophomore album, 'Something To Remember Me By'. For the members that make up To Kill Achilles it's more than just a project for musical output, it's a support network and "a life force for us, it keeps us going and keeps us thinking." We caught up with the five-piece to find out more...

The track is the first taste of their self-titled sophomore album, due for release later this month.

While it doesn’t tread too much into new sonic territories, 'Who Am I?', the new album by Manchester-based indie band Pale Waves, is an adequate follow-up to their debut album, 'My Mind Makes Noises', acting as the yin to its yang.

The video was directed by Vlad Kaptur, check it out here.

The track originally features on his debut full-length, 'Yelling in a Quiet Neighbourhood'.
