Album Review: Cold Years - A Different Life (MNRK Heavy)
It's a very accessible album, notably because it is anthemic from beginning to end.
Scottish pop and rock punks Cold Years will release their brand-new full-length album, ‘A Different Life’ on April 26th, 2024, via MNRK.
An album focused on anthemic rock, with elements of pop-punk dashed in here and there, Cold Years have worked hard to craft an album filled with singalongs. Music that is deliciously infectious, music that has plenty of heart, and music that comes from a…

Interview: Pupil Slicer (Written)
On Sunday 21st of April 2024, London got sliced. Pupil Spicer played the last show of their first headline UK tour at The Grace in London, performing their latest album, ‘Blossom’ in full. Before they took to the stage though, we sat down with the band (vocalist/guitarist Kate Davis, drummer Josh Andrews, and bassist Luke Booth) to talk.

We were there and had the best time.
Pupil Slicer never disappoint, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level they have reached. Even making the kind of noise they do, there seems to be no limit on what…

EP Review: Thumos - Atlantis (Snow Wolf Records)
In life they say only two things are certain – death and taxes. This isn’t true, because there is a third. Which simply states that if Thumos have new music, it is going to be stunning.
US progressive post-metal band Thumos are back, and will release a brand-new EP called ‘Atlantis’ on April 26th, 2024, via Snow Wolf Records. A three-track EP covering Plato’s dialogues Timaeus, the unfinished Critias, and the hypothetical Hermocrates.

EP Review: My Favourite Nemesis - We Annihilate (Seek and Strike)
Finland’s modern metallers, My Favourite Nemesis, return with their crushing new EP, We Annihilate, set for release on 26th April via Seek and Strike Records.
Formed in 2017, My Favourite Nemesis have actively gained a reputation in the Finnish modern metal scene as well as growing worldwide attention. That attention, and over two million streams probably helped too, led to them partnering up…

Album Review: Black Tusk - The Way Forward (Season of Mist)
Reinvigorated and ready to show what they can do now; Black Tusk return with an absolute banger of an album. A high energy, sludgy, punky, groovy, and riffy album that delivers passion and excitement.
‘The Way Forward’ might be the Savannah swamp metal crew’s seventh album, but it marks many firsts for Black Tusk. It’s their first with their new lineup, which sees guitarist Chris “Scary” Adams and bassist Derek Lynch joining Fidler and drummer James May. Which also makes it Black Tusk’s first record with a two-guitar lineup. The new album will be released on April 26th, 2024, via Season of…

Horror Movie Review: Night Swim (2024)
It’s a failure of a horror experience, and while it might not be an objectively terrible film, it deserves scorn because of how little effort was put in.
It’s rare that a horror short can be turned into a compelling, frightening, and memorable full-length feature, and Night Swim continues the trend of extremely lacklustre attempts.
The basic concept, about a haunted pool, doesn’t exactly scream full-length either, and across 98 minutes, writer and director Bryce McGuire sets out to prove just how bad of an idea it was. As basic as it comes, filled…

Album Review: Full of Hell - Coagulated Bliss (Closed Casket Activities)
Full of Hell are back, and while they are as horribly intense as ever, this album comes with a deeper focus on song-writing. The chaos is still there, don’t be fooled, but there are so many clear attempts to make this a tighter and more absorbing listen.
Once again, chaos is unleashed. This time, it comes in the form of ‘Coagulated Bliss’. The new album from grindcore legends, Full of Hell. It will be released on April 26th, 2024, via Closed Casket Activities.
Let’s begin by stating the obvious. Something everyone who has experienced Full of Hell can confirm. You don’t listen to this band; you get subjected to them. Their music is the epitome of…

Live Review: Pupil Slicer & Coilguns at The Grace, Highbury & Islington, London (21/04/24)
Pupil Slicer one of the brightest and best metal bands in the UK scene right now, and it’s extremely heartening to see them beginning to get their dues. This London show being the final date of their extensive UK headline tour, the first time Pupil Slicer have gone on the road as headliners.
Pupil Slicer… they’re a bit alright now, aren’t they? Having seen them several times before, and each time, being more and more impressed with their live showing, the thought of seeing their album ‘Blossom’ played in full was a very exciting one. This band is one of the brightest and best metal bands in the UK scene right now, and it’s extremely heartening to see them beginning to get their dues.…

Album Review: ACxDC - G.O.A.T. (Prosthetic Records)
This is the sound of glorious pandemonium. Greatest of all time, indeed.
Powerviolence/grind punks ACxDC is celebrating their 21st birthday with their sophomore full-length album G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time), released April 26th, 2024, via Prosthetic Records.
Happy 21st birthday to ACxDC! Let’s celebrate by losing our f**king s**t to their cathartically chaotic new album, G.O.A.T. A seventeen-track bout of eye-watering and ear-bleeding noise that combines the best…

TV Series Review: Chaser - Season 1 (2024)
From writer and director Daniel Roemer, comes Chaser. A sci-fi thriller with light comedy moments, that rises above its humdrum opening episode to be an imaginatively wild and fun ride. Starring Gia Bay, Russ Russo, and Daniel de Weldon, it tells a complex story about power and what happens when it is abused.
This life isn’t perfect. Embrace it. What’s done is undone.

Live Review: Mountain Caller at The Black Heart, Camden, London (19/04/24)
There is a strong sense that Mountain Caller have stepped up their game and with such a phenomenal album in their arsenal, the world is finally starting to take proper notice of this band.
Sometimes you’re just not feeling a gig. Motoring on around five hours sleep, facing another night shift (the fourth of seven in a row), a mad dash across town to not be late for work, and having had the awful experience of your loved one having their phone stolen earlier that morning. If there was ever a list of reasons to blow out a gig, I had them tonight.
Why am I telling you this? To…

TV Series Review: Fallout - Season 1 (2024)
Fallout isn’t just a good TV show, it is an excellent TV show. Even outside of the ‘video game adaption’ tag it comes with. Everyone can enjoy this, and that might be what truly makes it so successful. That we would ever get something this accurate to the franchise, and it not be terrible fan service, is simply amazing.
Well, who could ever have predicted this? Not the fact that we have a live-action TV show based on the Fallout video game franchise, but the fact that it turned out pretty damn good. Although, these days, there’s a feeling that both studios and creators are finally beginning to understand what makes a good video game TV or movie adaption. In recent years we’ve been treated to gems like The Last…

Live Review: Blind Guardian with The Night Eternal at The O2 Forum, London (14/04/24)
Nearly two hours of Blind Guardian magic. This might have been called The God Machine Tour, but the set they perform is more of a ‘best of’.
The last time I saw Blind Guardian perform live (outside of a festival) was 2016 and it took place at The O2 Forum in London. Eight years later, Blind Guardian are back at the same venue but, this time they’ve sold it out. Something they didn’t manged before, or the time before that. Which is growth. Small growth, but growth none the less.
The thing is, Blind Guardian deserve to sell out venues…

Horror Movie Review: Color Me Blood Red (1965)
It’s a Herschell Gordon Lewis movie, so you should know exactly what to expect with Color Me Blood Red. A low budget, badly told, poorly acted, gore-fest with very few redeeming qualities.
It’s a Herschell Gordon Lewis movie, so you should know exactly what to expect with Color Me Blood Red. A low budget, badly told, poorly acted, gore-fest with very few redeeming qualities. Which is pretty much what we get with this film, yet, similarly to Blood Feast two years prior, there is something charming about it. It might not be a good film, but it is memorable.
