With Black Sabbath now sadly done and dusted, there's been a noticeable void in heavy music. Plenty of bands have tried to capture that same dark, riff-driven magic, but few have done it as convincingly as Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats.

For the last few years, SCENE QUEEN has been breaking the mould of what most people expect from metal. In a male-dominated industry where subgenres are taken incredibly seriously, and with the constant questioning of “what or who is metal enough?”, Hannah Collins has kicked the door down and introduced us to “bimbocore”. Yes, there’s pink. Yes, there’s glitter and rhinestones. But on METALICIOUS, there are also some of the heaviest, most guttural vocals you’ll hear.

For those who have ever felt alone in this world, or at the lowest of lows, RØRY’s music has brought comfort to many. It shows that there is, in fact, light at the end of the tunnel; that things can turn around for the better; and that no matter what stage of life you are at, it is never too late. Her first full release RESTORATION proved that last year, and now she is set to release her second album BLOODLETTING on 11th September.

It's not easy to talk about At The Gates's new album, ' The Ghost of a Future Dead' . Not when it's the last album with Tomas Lindberg on vocals, who tragically passed away in September 2025, and definitely not when you can feel that weight in almost every second of it. At The Gates hasn't changed much, and that's kind of the point. This is them focusing on what they do best and doing it with a goal in mind. It's sharp, melodic, and aggressive when it needs to be, and it has

Killed By Deaf is a reminder that punk and metal have always shared the same dirty soul. While it's not exactly reinventing the wheel, it's a great celebration album, and I think Lemmy would be proud.

'Don't Go Into the Forest', the latest release from Sweden's favourite metal circus Avatar, is a dark fairytale full of riffs, theatrics, and a hint of madness. It's large, odd, and distinctly Avatar.

Buckle up kids, it’s time for another history lesson from Sweden’s power metal virtuosos, Sabaton. Departing from the 20th-century war themes that dominated their last two albums, 'Legends' broadens the scope, delving into a wider span of history. This time, the band turns its focus to remarkable individuals and their legacies, from fearless warriors and mighty emperors to notorious figures who left their mark on the world.

Do you love Black Sabbath? Of course you do, and I’m pretty sure these guys do too. I first heard Margerita Witch Cult at a hometown gig...

Their latest release takes a little bit of a step away from the "norms" of Ghost. A bold move some may say - one that could be a game changer or a bad decision.

We asked the biggest While She Sleeps fan we know what their thoughts were on the latest Sleeps release, Self Hell.

Fall Out Boy were one of the first bands I got into when I started to develop my own music taste that wasn't pop radio, or the 70's punk...
