The metaphors are complex, Swagger’s samples are fearlessly independent of each other, there is little imitation and almost no repetition or recycling.

The overall production is quite raw, similar to his first album, and it works this way.

Scourge of opening acts and promoters worldwide, Deicide still have some evil intentions.

Rather than simply boring in its lack of ideas, Baptized drowns you in an acrid stench of money.

It swells and dives and makes the most of that ‘80s-esque synth and bass drone throughout, but especially in closer Radiant Hour.

Outsiders then concludes the unfaultable performance, with the Franz frontline – including Bob Hardy’s temporary bass replacement – picking up sticks with drummer Paul Thomson for a tribal drum beatdown that stops the show, figuratively and literally.

User discretion warning – watch out for broken noses.

'A Hold on Love' is from Erol Alkan's forthcoming EP 'Illumination' and is certainly one to get you in the mood to dance with its fresh and electric rhythm.

Never Stop is Babylon at their most pop, full of hooks and singalong choruses, music to which you mumble nonsensically as you realise you don’t even speak French.
