King 810 – Murder Murder Murder
Merlin Alderslade: “Whatever you think of their backstory, this is going to be off the chain next week.”
Messenger – Dear Departure
Amit Sharma: “Their set supporting Casualties Of Cool at London’s Union Chapel was very special indeed. Congrats on the Prog award, boys!”
The Locust – Twenty-Three Lubed-Up Schizophrenics
Sam Bailey: “Because The Locust.”
Godflesh – Imperator
Alexander Milas: “When you absolutely, positively got to drown out every other motherfucker in the room.”
Anaal Nathrakh – Idol
Jonathan Selzer: “Some people just want to see the world burn. Thank fuck for that.”
Rings Of Saturn – Senseless Massacre
Dom Lawson:_ _“Hyperspeed sci-fi deathcore, defying sub-genre convention by being ten times more demented and inventive than anything else out there.”
NOTHING – Bent Nail
Luke Morton: “Not the most metal band on Relapse Records but their debut album is a masterclass is how good and non-wanky shoegaze can be.”
