The Reviews Are In

Killswitch Engage - Disarm The Descent

"The more aggressive, shred-fest approach (channelling rage brought about by dramas surrounding former vocalist Howard Jones, perhaps?) works wonders, too."

The Tongue - Surrender To Victory

"The Tongue's defining feature is his courage. As a younger man he entered MC battles dressed as Osama Bin Laden."

The Blackwater Fever - The Depths

"What drives the band is their raw execution, which they consistently carry out through the course of the album."

The Black Angels - Indigo Meadow

"It's 45 minutes of reverie and it's easy to become completely enthralled. A real trip."

Kvelertak - Meir

"This album is without a doubt one of this year's best punk albums and, considering it isn't in English, is testament to the band's songwriting prowess."

Crime & The City Solution - American Twilight

"At 41 minutes, the album is lean, to the point and occasionally brilliant. A worthwhile, if familiar, addition to Crime's oeuvre."

Bonobo - The North Borders

"Another remarkable album that deserves all the accolades it will no doubt receive."

Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal

"A true beast of a release, and one that's equally venomous and fun."

James Blake - Overgrown

"It's good to hear Blake hasn't been stifled by 'second album syndrome', but rather seems to have flourished under the pressure."

Milk Music - Cruise Your Illusion

"Cruise Your Illusion is ambitious but not too serious, emotive but not histrionic – a breathtakingly excellent debut from a new rock'n'roll force in our midst."

Nantes - Beings Being

"Droning is a good way to describe Nantes' sound in general, as the deep and drawn out vocals can appear dull at times; however, this is not an insult."

Terror - Live By The Code

"You can only live by the code so many times before people start looking elsewhere for their hardcore fix."

The Knife - Shaking The Habitual

"It's a ridiculously hard album to describe in mere words, as the sounds themselves so rarely offer convenient comparisons."
