Punters who pride themselves on taste would be crazy not to avail themselves of what is a fantastic opportunity, both live and recorded, of experiencing the musings of a truly great band.

Aside from reverb and percussive overdrive, minimal effects are used on their debut longplayer, ensuring Howard’s passionate vocals stand out.

What makes Iowa’s debut such a visceral and engaging experience is its sonic qualities.

There is noticeably less buzz about DragonForce nowadays, but if you’re seeking metal with more hooks than your grandfather’s tackle box and you can forgive the formulaic elements, get your air guitars ready.

The ‘nu thrash’ groups have run out of puff. But all is not lost: Overkill keep delivering the goods with a minimum of fuss and drama. Thrash isn’t quite dead yet.

It’s always so identifiably him, perfectly constructed, even in the ragged edges and scars left showing

You know Derwin Schleker right? Well actually, you probably know him as his musical alias, Gold Panda. This is is brilliant new track '4'

While their new stuff is perhaps a little less polished... the Brits haven’t forgotten how to pen a catchy-as-hell pop chorus
