At this point in time if you want to find high quality metalcore music you can turn your attention to the southern hemisphere, or more directly Australia. Parkway Drive are currently headlining festivals and arenas around the world, The Amity Affliction are still pulling up trees in a similar fashion (despite releasing the most critically berated album of their career) and now Northlane are looking to step up to the plate with their long awaited fifth studio effort, 'Alien'.

After the sublime 'Birdie' can Modern Baseball’s Jake Ewald continue to write himself into DIY music’s history books?

It's been four years since their previous record 'Edge Of Humanity', can Eradikator create something potent to re-announce themselves to the world of metal?

The final day of the festival sadly arrived, however it featured one of the most anticipated and best sets of the whole weekend and had a couple of surprises along the way. Here is how we spent our Saturday at 2000trees Festival!

Although the greasiest Grilled Cheese in the world didn't quite nurse the hangover away, we got to business as early as we could on Friday. Here's how we spent our second day at 2000trees Festival!

2000trees is one of our favourite festivals, ever. The 2019 edition had an absolutely stacked line-up and we at Bring The Noise UK spent all three days rushing around like crazy, trying to catch as much as possible. A arrival slightly later than planned, thanks to the ever wonderful traffic coming out of South Wales, meant that we were unable to catch the very start of the festival. However, we managed to cram a load of great bands in and still had an incredible day one!

Jamie Lenman took his Road To Lenmania to Saint Luke's in Glasgow for an evening of live music which saw him performing two special live sets. One of these an acoustic set pre-supports and then a full-on triumphant headlining set to round off an incredibly special night.

Having been around for nearly two decades, Comeback Kid have spent the entirety of their career churning out a seemingly endless stream of metal-infused hardcore punk tracks influencing countless younger bands along the way. Tonight in the DIY punk surroundings of Boston Music Room they took to the stage alongside British hybrid outfit Svalbard.

Taking on a darker concept than its ancestor, Batushka’s 'Hospodi' is a polished, well-orchestrated record. However, while it has its glorious, exciting moments, and sees more experimentation than that heard in 'Litourgiya', it is far from the immersive masterpiece it followed.

South Wales hardcore punk quartet Torchbearer have set sail on their latest EP, Against The Tide. After an active tour season and time back in the studio, how does their latest effort fare?
