Reviews / Album

Live Review: Machine Head
"Unlike some international metal bands who act like they're doing us a favour by travelling halfway around the world to play here, the quartet were evidently enthused to have returned."
Features / Music
Why Machine Head Think 'Basically Everything You Read On The Internet Is Wrong'
"There's a huge silent majority who just doesn't bother to say anything, until all that's left is the shitty comments. That's a weird place that we're at as a whole in society."

Is 'Black Flame' The Defining Moment Of Bury Tomorrow?
"I'm hoping this is the moment, or this is the album, that's really a defining chapter of our band."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Bury Tomorrow - Black Flame
"They rip into each song like kids tearing into the wrapping paper at Christmas."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: DevilDriver - Outlaws 'Til The End, Vol 1
"Only faintly recognisable as re-imaginations of country tunes anyway; such is the presence of Fafara's distinctive roar and the turbo-charged guitars."
Features / Music
'Times Change, People Change, Attitudes Change And The Band Definitely Changed'
"We were just four fucking dumb-arse kids from Wales and all of a sudden we're on the stage with Metallica and stuff."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Bulllet For My Valentine - Gravity
"Six albums in, change seems inevitable, and perhaps mandatory for the Welsh melodic metal mob."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: The Night Flight Orchestra - Sometimes The World Ain't Enough
"This outfit no longer feel like a project, but instead a fully-fledged band."
