Mirror Queen – Inviolate (+ Exclusive Video Premiere)

Creating their own turf with a revved-up engine, ready to head down the highway.

Sunrunner – Sacred Arts of Navigation

A menacing, brutal, surreal, and epic-like intense album that brings you front and centre with enduring pieces.

Marc Bourgon from Greber

Gavin Brown caught up with Greber vocalist/bassist Marc Bourgon to talk about new album Fright Without and other topics including working with Kurt Ballou, live shows and his time with fellow Canadian grinders Fuck The Facts.

Come To Grief – When The World Dies

If you want to listen to the sound of the end of the world in seven songs, then this is the album for you.

Chat Pile – God’s Country

A deranged and diseased stagger through ugly American dysfunction. They might just be your new favourite band.

Krause – The Art of Fatigue

On The Art of Fatigue, Krause get harder, faster, filthier, gnarlier.

Poia, Urlo and Levre from Ufomammut

Gavin Brown talked to Ufomammut about their new album ‘Fenice’, new sound and what it means for Ufomammut to be back making and releasing music again.

Ø from MØTIVATIØN

Gavin Brown spoke to Ø from mysterious new music outfit MØTIVATIØN who gave us the lowdown on the whole project and their release ‘The Infinite 8 Steps tø Pøwer / Møney / Møre’.

Row of Ashes – Bleaching Heat

Sometimes the only way to rid yourself of the rage is to expel it and for that I can’t prescribe this album fast enough.

Album Premiere: Wrack – Repulsive Gravity

Wrack is a one-man metal band formed in 2009 by Bay Area producer and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Cox. The music of Wrack at times recalls the aggro post-metal of early Isis, the patient math-riffing of Nothing-era Meshuggah, or the grandiose soundscap …

Firebreather – Dwell in the Fog

Firebreather breathe new life with their best offering yet on album number three.

Buñuel – Killers Like Us

Even when plying these discordant shards, there’s an oof kicked out from their fused solar plexuses. It is rock ’n’ roll as an aphrodisiac, as a vector of sexuality.

Guillaume Rieth from Celeste

Gavin Brown caught up with Celeste guitarist Guillaume Rieth to hear all about their new album Assassine(s) and its creation as well as how the band’s sound has constantly evolved over the years.

Kurokuma – Born of Obsidian

This debut album with a fascinating mix of stoner, sludge, heavy psych and doom was a long time in coming but its quality ensures it will endure for even longer.

Matt Pike – Pike vs The Automaton

Pike vs The Automaton is a lot of fun. Not as serious or intense as High on Fire: the combination of metal, stoner rock and psych, all mixed into the trademark sludge we know from Matt’s other work, make for a very enjoyable listen.

Tuskar – Matriarch

Matriarch is an assured debut offering from a band who offer more than enough to stand out in the current doom scene.

Exclusive Album Premiere: Omnibael – Rain Soaks the Earth Where They Lie

  Crawling into virtual space during the Covid-19 pandemic, Omnibael had ideas. Diverse, divergent, wide-ranging ideas, but ideas which centred around the creation of noise. The noise came before the identity, before any kind of cohesion …

THÅRN – Collisions

Exceptionally good crust influenced post-metal which highlights the wealth of creativity in the UK underground.

NŪR – Negative Transfer

An excellent, short EP which will leave any post-metal fan desperate to hear more.

LLNN – Unmaker

Danish lunar sludgers LLNN return with album number three which is a career best and certainly amongst the years heaviest releases.

The Body and BIG|BRAVE – Leaving None But Small Birds

Two of the most exploratory metal acts dig down into the twisted roots of the old weird America.
