France has become a hotbed for superb metal acts in recent years and as a result has been gaining much deserved notoriety around the world. One band that has sprung forth in recent years is Temnein, who have been quietly honing their craft in the underground for some time now, releasing two previous albums - '404 B.C' and 'White Stained Inferno' - which showed a level of creativity and forward thinking that far surpassed their years. Now, in 2020, the band may have just penned the defining release of their blossoming career. The album is entitled 'Tales: Of Humanity And Greed' and shows the band pushing their particular brand of melodic death metal into brave new territory.
Just over two years since the release of their critically acclaimed eighth studio album 'Phantom Anthem', August Burns Red are back with their latest release ‘Guardians’ and it appears that they have a bit in their teeth and a fire in their stomachs.
Architectural Genocide are looking to take the brutal death metal scene by storm and with their debut full-length, 'Cordyceptic Anthropomorph', they are certainly off to a very promising start.
Body Count are back with their follow-up to 'Bloodlust' and are looking to continue with the forward momentum that they have gained since their reunion.
Australian progressive metalcore act Polaris return with the sophomore effort ‘The Death Of Me’ and are looking to dethrone Parkway Drive at the summit of the genre. With this release, they may well be armed enough to do so.
Ihsahn is a man who refuses to stand still, currently releasing solo records at a rate that could match Devin Townsend himself. So far he has mastered a vast majority of different genres on his musical travels and now with his 'Telemark' EP he returns to his black metal roots.
Tonight a grand old building in the North of London becomes the chapel for Sleep Token to gather the masses for their biggest UK performance to date.
Loathe are a band that are looking to take the steps required to put their head above the crowded and frankly oversaturated metalcore/hardcore scene. With their latest album, 'I Let It In And It Took Everything', they look to be
properly armed and equipped to do just that.
Kirk Windstein is a man that has given his life to metal music. He has pioneered the southern metal sound and has been a member of not one, but two of the biggest bands from that region. Now in 2020, the dark lord of the riff has stepped out of the shadows to unleash his debut solo effort, ‘Dream In Motion’.
Stray From The Path are a band that have paid their dues time and time again. The band have been a testament to the fact that hard work inevitability pays off and with this current UK run selling out all but one of its six dates, we venture to the biggest night of the tour at the famous O2 Academy Islington in North London.
