British metal music - in whatever guise you wish to label it, from metalcore and melodic hardcore to post-hardcore - is in a pretty good place right now.

"Renegade metallic assault." Those three words by themselves are pretty exciting, but when combined to form the battle plan for one band's quest for musical glory they become well and truly glorious.
