Bring Me The Horizon – There is a hell – A Decade On
It’s officially been ten years since metalcore outfit Bring Me The Horizon released their third record, called - take a deep breath - There Is A Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is A Heaven Let’s Keep It A Secret. Catchy, huh? Which also means it’s officially been ten years since I queued outside... Continue Reading →
Linkin Park – Twenty Years of Hybrid Theory
It's the year 2000. I’m in sixth form and by the quirks of being in a group of friends that are trusted by the staff we somehow have our own common room. Of sorts. We have tea and coffee making facilities, a sofa, some hastily re-upholstered stools, and a bunch of rails of costumes for... Continue Reading →
High Fidelity
High Fidelity is a book written by Nick Hornby and also a movie starring John Cusack. The book is set in London and the movie is set in Chicago. For the purposes of this article, we’re going to focus on the movie. It’s not for artistic reasons, I genuinely prefer the book, but I can... Continue Reading →
At The Gates – Slaughter of The Soul Turns Twenty Five
This is the most ripped-off Metalcore record of all time. This is one of the top three metal records of the nineties. This record is the reason the melodic Death Metal subgenre exists and is the innovating sound behind the extreme europian scene as we know it today. “Slaughter of the Soul” is so forward-thinking...

Sound City
It's 2007. I’m in a soaking wet field in Staffordshire at V Festival. My friend Detta had got a tip about a band that we had to see called 606. None of us, her included, had heard of 606. We didn’t know what they did, who they were, or what we were letting ourselves in... Continue Reading →
CMFT Let’s see?
The first thing I feel we need to say is that this album isn’t out until the 2nd of October. Secondly, its title is the solo artists name with Mother Fucker in the middle but expressed as initials. That being said, this is Corey Taylor. Lead singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour. In case you... Continue Reading →
In Defence Of The 1970s
The 70’s was something of a tumultuous decade. This isn’t going to be about politics, thankfully, but the music scene changed in such drastic fashion across the decade that it seems art in this case imitated life. As previously discussed here Heavy Metal was born in this decade. The 13th of February saw the release... Continue Reading →
Axl Rose – Control Freak
The story is as familiar as any that have got their start in the world of music. Making that pilgrimage to the big city from back home, from small town America, running away from those that don’t understand or don’t approve, trying to break through and make a living playing music. It’s not the same... Continue Reading →
The Lumberyard Studio – A Conversation With Nik Bruzzese
After Man Overboard made the decision to go on a hiatus back in 2016 Nik Bruzzese was left with some empty space to fill. Having your sole venture and commitment removed can leave a person searching for some direction. But for Bruzzese recording and mixing is a passion he has felt a strong connection to,...
