With this release, Trivium have further cemented their position in metal’s monarchy.

It’s the frenetic pace of Sew My Mouth Shut, Quitters and Bury Me where the band feel most at home.

It’s the grittier songs where Blessthefall sound more comfortable – and they do that honourably.

A second album can see some bands struggle to collate enough good ideas and content to create a cohesive song list. Dream On Dreamer have achieved that with Loveless, which is a refreshing mix of aggression and fond sentimentality

With Eddie Van Halen’s dive bombing guitar solos and David Lee Roth’s, at times, strained vocals, the band were in amazing form and put on an amazing spectacle that definitively wrapped up day one of what will hopefully be a recurring festival.

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.

The quintet have natural melodic leanings but must have felt compelled to get down and angry on their first record.

At times melodies sound overtly familiar, and the band’s musical phrases become tired and predictable.
