It’s Reading and Leeds festival weekend and we’re currently nursing a Metallica sized hangover from the night before. But this is what’s getting us through this blurry mess…
Parkway Drive – Crushed
Lewis Somerscales (Art Editor): ”Table flipping metal.”
Earthside – Mob Mentality
Dom Lawson (Editor-At-Large): “Amazing song, killer video, several metric fucktons of audacious ambition… I quite like these Earthside chaps. Embrace the prog, kids.”
Myrkur – Hævnen
Alexander Milas (Editor-In-Chief): “Riveting, blackened wrath from a rising star. The new album, M is out this week via Relapse – check it out!”
Counting Days – Liberated Sounds
Merlin Alderslade (Deputy Editor): “One of countless crushers from the best British metal debut of the year so far.”
Deafheaven – Brought To The Water
Luke Morton (Online Editor): “Punishing post-black metal drowning in shoegaze fuzz and anguish.”
Bring Me The Horizon – True Friends
Eleanor Goodman (Features Editor): “A bitter sentiment formed into an upbeat and persistent earworm.”
