Like Conan but wish it had a soundtrack based on doom and psych tinged instrumental post-metal? Well Sleepbomb have just the thing for you.

This album would have been better served up as two EPs as trying to get through it in one sitting is something of a chore. Sadly disappointing.

Gary Davidson has again caught up with Dimscûa to chat about their plans for 2026 like a new album through Big Scary Monsters, trips to Europe, beer, PR and booking agents and a look back at two incredible festival appearances.

It has been, I think, one of the best StrangeForms fests ever. If not the best ever festival, then possibly the best ever single day. . . The wildly varied line-up has been most excellent, curated to near perfection. . . I’m going home tired but happy, and my life is just that little bit better for having been here.

And while Sun Raven’s genre-hopping could sound a bit complex on paper, Stephen Murray, its creator, makes it sound as if these sounds were always bound to be together.

The Matador accomplish a tremendous feat of taking the familiar sounds of post-metal and amplifying them to exciting places.

Asymmetries is a perfect flex of post contemplation and metal might in a way unique to the UK scene.

Ripcord Fest comes to an end on an undeniable high. As a celebration of the label and of British heavy music as a whole, it’s a triumph; but even beyond that, it’s been a joyful occasion. People have undoubtedly discovered new bands, plenty have made new friends, and it feels like an entire community has chipped in to make the day worth remembering.

Gavin Brown caught up with Radian drummer Derek Vaive to hear all about their new album as well as hearing about their anticipation of playing live shows with the legendary Acid Bath and The Obsessed.

Gavin Brown recently caught up with Lesotho guitarist Kyle Loffredo, to talk about their new album A Flashing On Plain Glass, inspiring instrumental music, Boston’s music scene and what else Lesotho have planned for the year.

An Undying Love For A Burning World is a truly staggering album. A modern classic. An essential listen.

Feels less like a simple collection of tracks and more like a fully formed narrative—one that moves from calm reflection to towering riffs and finally into atmospheric stillness.

Matador keep the listener engaged as they combine weighty riffs with superb melodies.

Incredible French atmospheric post-metal troupe Ingrina, complete a trilogy of work in stunning fashion and build walls of sound even higher than before.

Abraham delivers a dense album of psychedelic post-doom madness, unveiling striking atmospheres layered with avant-garde complexity.

Gavin Brown caught up with Stefan De Graef from Belgian psychedelic post-metal trio Psychonaut to get an insight into their new record as well as discussing the band recent live shows, how 2025 has been for Psychonaut, the future and fatherhood.

Hope Scars is an incredible triumph and another sensational UK post-metal debut album.

Godamn! What a show. Like many of us here, I feel lucky to have caught this smaller club show from Psychonaut, hoping that this will help to catapult them to even greater heights – and that tonight’s poster remains on the Lexington walls, marking the arc of that trajectory.  

I still can’t explain exactly what happened, but all the stars aligned that night. There was an atmosphere of hope in the performance, a departure from the more pessimistic tone of Triumph and Disaster. It was a night when the band could finally mentally move on from Departure Songs. . . That’s not a sad thing: it’s an affirmation of the strength of their ongoing writing and live performances.

‘Teeth To Sky’ sounds like Killing Joke stripped of any veneer of modern respectability and by the time they are winding the night down with ‘All We Destroy’ there’s a feeling of hunger and immediacy, a sense that they could keep doing this all night and sound just as massive as when they started.

Gavin Brown caught up with Guiltless vocalist/guitarist Josh Graham to get the lowdown on how their tour has been going, their upcoming tour with Primitive Man and the reaction to their album Teeth To Sky.
