When we began talking to a band called Murder Circle, it's safe to say we didn't expect to morph onto the subject of Christian rock and spiritual warfare.
Introducing: Dorylus
If witches made metal music then Stevenage's Dorylus may well be the potion they conjured up in their cauldron.
Introducing: Siderian
Amid a saturated market of masses of metal bands and oodles of choice thanks to the rise of online streaming, it can seem difficult to differentiate. But Northampton-based Siderian are doing just that with their intriguing brand of thrash-infused metal, which essentially has the sole aim of making everything as heavy, fast and harsh as possible.

New Band of the Week: URNE
London metal newcomers URNE deliver a deliciously brutal mass of thrashy, sludgy riffs cast against surprisingly melodic vocals that have us very excited about this brand new band. Formed out of the ashes of Hang The Bastard, the trio of Joseph Nally (vocals and bass), Angus Neyra (guitar) and Rich Wiltshire (drums) have swiftly carved their own metal... Continue Reading →
Pulled Apart By Horses to headline Fluffer Pit Party this May

The quartet of lead singer and guitarist Lewy Roland, lead guitarist Clint Bredin, bassist Charlie and drummer Spence rose from the... Continue Reading →
Introducing: THE WITHØUT
Fresh from the very north-west of the United States we've found something a bit special in the form of THE WITHØUT. The band has honed a sound that crosses the boundaries of multiple elements across the rock spectrum, and is highly influenced by the grit and vigour of its hometown of Portland, Oregon. THE WITHØUT is a creative venture between five... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Methedras
It's pretty unusual for us to be writing about a band that's been going for two decades but in the case of Methedras we love their sound so much that we felt they were well worth bringing to your attention. The Italian four-piece, who define themselves wonderfully as a "Thrash-Death-Killing-Machine," are close to celebrating their 21st birthday as a band but... Continue Reading →
