2020 is a year which has been so God awful it is as if it tumbled from the blackened soul of Lucifer himself, with most of us literally locked inside our own homes for months, the country, scratch that THE WORLD, on its collective knees, and no live music to soothe our pain and misery. So although Download 2021 is yet 10-long months away it is no surprise, following their recent announcement, that excitement is already creeping towards fever pitch at the mere thought of seeing the bands we love thrill us from the festival's stages next year.

The track is taken from his upcoming fifth studio album, 'Tickets To My Downfall'.

Brighton punk-rockers LibraLibra bring it all on their debut EP, 'Hail Mary', which sees them showing off all their strengths. A promising debut from a band who refuse to play by the rules.

Girls In Synthesis have released their new single 'They're Not Listening', A powerful punk-edged track taken from their upcoming debut album 'Now Here's An Echo From Your Future'.

The Austrian psych-rock trio reveal another track from their forthcoming album, 'CYBERFUNK!'.

Canadian rock quintet Rarity are back with brand new music, marking their first new material since their 2019 full-length 'The Longest Lonesome'. Recent singles, the catchy 'Leave It Alone' and emotion-fuelled 'Worn Down', show two different sides of Rarity, but both are equally captivating in their own way. We caught up with vocalist/guitarist Corbin Giroux to talk about his first musical memory, the band's influences, aims and more. 

The tour features four unique performances that have been pre-recorded at The Roxy Theatre in LA.

The saying goes “all good things comes to those who wait”, and that particular expression has never seemed more appropriate than when it comes to Black Crown Initiate. There have been plenty of issues that have befallen the band over their brief history, including number of line-up changes where they are still searching for a permanent drummer even now - but with the leap to a new permanent home with Century Media Records, the band look hungrier and better backed than ever. Now with Black Crown Initiate in their strongest position to date and the extreme metal world eagerly watching and waiting, the big question is… has the wait been worth it?

The track is taken from the band's recently released album, 'Ultraviolet' - check it out here!
