Twenty-Five years ago the greatest death metal album was given to the world. Symbolic by Death is a journey. A formation of songs that encrypt the listener into an inviting climb of what thrash metal had buried within itself to become. Although Symbolic came towards the end of the Death Metal genres peak in the... Continue Reading →
Rating - 3.5/5 Midlands five-piece, Red Negative release their single ‘Sweet Summer Girl’; an upbeat pop-rock effort that is at best extremely catchy and at worst derivative; but hey what pop-rock isn’t somewhat derivative at this point? The single arrives in advance of a longer, an unreleased project titled 'Two Metres Apart’; presumably a commentary... Continue Reading →

Rating - 4/5 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/EstateUK/ Atmospheric sounds and jangly reverb abound in Estate’s latest release ‘Losing Myself’; it’s another strong effort from the Telford four-piece who added another string to their bow with this single being named as BBC Shropshire’s Track of the Week. The hazy soundscape lends itself nicely to the lyricism which... Continue Reading →
Released: 17th April 2020 Rating: 4/5 Every album Enter Shikari release sounds completely different to the previous one, and never sounds like any other artist either. This theme very much continues on album number six, the truly ridiculous Nothing Is True And Everything Is Possible. The album’s 45 minute running time contains almost every genre...
