Underdark – Managed Decline

Hailing from Nottingham, Underdark is a five-piece metal band that straddles the lines between post-rock, black metal, noise and even elements of the most scathing end of post-hardcore for good measure.

Going Off – Pay the Price/Bed of Concrete

I love how you can tell what something is going to sound like just by glancing at the artwork. So, this new release from Going Off, a band I’m not that familiar with – but I’m going to say definitely hardcore? Oh good lord yes.

Demons – Under The Western Heel

Under The Western Heel splices in some of the hardest, challenging, and chaotic slabs of menacing, and altogether fun-packed moments of frantic, sweat-soaked punk rock and walls of alienating, challenging noise.

Burner - It All Returns To Nothing

Burner – It All Returns to Nothing

Down I Go – Aum Shinrikyo

Down I Go are back, and Aum Shinrikyo, their new album about the Japanese doomsday cult is their best yet. Read on to find out what we think…

Demons – Swallow EP

Demons barely have enough time to devote to this new EP, which clocks in at just under 6 minutes and consists of 4 heart-racing, blood-pumping slabs of furious, scathing noise rock.

Thank – Thoughtless Cruelty

Prepare to step into the portal of weird, your hosts, a band from Leeds called Thank who make sounds that don’t fit but you will want to know more.

Care Home – Assisted Living (Part 1)

Who are the band Care Home and why should you, well, care? Well, for one thing, it contains ex-members of Red Stars Parade, USA Nails, Whores Whores Whores, Year of the Man and False Flags.

Robot Death Monkey – Druid Odyssey

It’s safe to say, Edinburgh’s Robot Death Monkey really do not take themselves seriously. Drinking strong lager, riffs, and being the finest stoner-groove machine in the land seems to be their reason for existing and fair play to them.
