[ALBUM REVIEW] To The Grave: No Lives Matter
[rwp-review id=”0″] Band: To The Grave Album Title: No Lives Matter EP Record Label: Chugcore Release Date: Out Now Reviewed by Jeremy Vane-Tempest Rumours of deathcore’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.

[ALBUM REVIEW] Graves: Monster
[rwp-review id=”0″] Band: Graves Album: Monster Record Label: Greyscale Records Release Date: October 21, 2016 Reviewed by Jeremy Vane-Tempest There was a point a couple of years ago where Graves was playing every single local hardcore show in the country.

[ALBUM REVIEW] Balance and Composure, Light We Made
[rwp-review id=”0″] Balance and Composure’s second album, The Things We Think We’re Missing, rocked my world in 2013. If not for Biffy Clyro, it would have been my album of the year.

[ALBUM REVIEW] Bloodnut – Blues From the Red Sons
Bloodnut – Blues From the Red Sons Independent Release Date: Out Now Reviewed By: Jeremy Vane-Tempest So…this band is a bunch of redheads called Bloodnut, huh? That managed to put an idiotic grin on even this cynical bastard’s face, and the fact that their album, Blues from the Red Sons, is decent if unspectacular was […]
[ALBUM REVIEW] Chase the Day – Tabula Rasa
Chase the Day – Tabula Rasa Independent Release Date: Out Now Reviewed By: Jeremy Vane-Tempest Damn it all to hell, I really wanted to like this album. I mean, I really really really wanted to like this album, and I just can’t. It’s got all the right things going for it: a unique vocalist, strong, […]
