Reviews / Album
Album Review: Iron Mind - Iron Mind
"It’s only January, but Iron Mind have probably dropped the hardcore album of 2014."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Throwdown - Intolerance
Sure, there’s still the odd dull mid-paced groove metal moment, and Dave Peters insists on rehashing the same straight-edge clichés, but quite simply Throwdown haven’t sounded this energised since 2005’s Vendetta.
Reviews / Live
Live Review: Grave, Wehrmacht, Primate
This was a performance that showed why Grave has survived for over 20 years – no frills, no fancy tricks, just well crafted aural brutality straight from the pits of hell.

Reviews / Album
Album Review: Ghost B.C. - If You Have Ghost
Dave Grohl’s production is predictably top notch and all the material sounds fantastic.
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Toe To Toe - Still Fighting
Of course it’s the new tracks that are the most intriguing and the likes of Hope And Sorrow and Fearless Heart deliver by following the rawer punk rock vibe of previous album, Arturo Gatti.
