Camden High Street is a busy place at the best of times. Bargain hunters crowd its world-famous market; tourists take selfies in front of outlandish shopfronts; alternative fashionistas strut around in their latest cutting-edge purchases.

Add in Camden Rocks, a twenty-venue, two-hundred-band music festival stretching from the vicinity of the Roundhouse down to Mornington Crescent, and you’re talking the coolest kind of chaos imaginable Read more…

Over the past ten years, Hellyeah have attracted more than their fair share of haters, doubters, and disbelievers. Considering Hellyeah’s supergroup status and the inevitable Pantera, Damageplan, and Mudvayne comparisons that come with the territory, that’s not surprising. It’s a sad but true, set-in-stone music business fact that people generally want more of what they’ve heard before, with just the tiniest smidgeon of new stuff mixed in – but not enough to mark the results out as truly original Read more…

Volbeat – ‘Seal The Deal And Let’s Boogie’ [Review]

Volbeat Seal The Deal And Let's Boogie 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 Interview Rob Caggiano Anthrax Big Four Guitar Guitarist Feature Album Review CD Concert Tour Universal Download Stream Live Torrent Music Musician Record Label News Update Facebook YouTube Twitter VEVO Spotify iTunes

The intertwined histories of rock and metal are littered with countless thousands of bands proclaiming their own uniqueness. Most of them were (and many are) full of shit. Volbeat are not.

Before ex-Anthrax axe maestro Rob Caggiano joined Volbeat’s ranks while producing 2013’s Outlaw Gentlemen And Shady Ladies, Volbeat were already an established and undeniably idiosyncratic act. That now-three-year-old album saw Volbeat reinvigorated, juiced up like never before, ready and willing to play with all the toys they could get their hands on. Now, with Seal The Deal And Let’s Boogie, it’s time to see what Volbeat MkII have hidden up their sleeves Read more…

Interviewing musicians can be a tricky business – especially when you know they’ve sat across from countless others before you and been subjected to endless barrages of identical questions. For ex-Anthrax and current Volbeat guitarist Rob Caggiano, who left the former on good terms to pursue his own path and joined the latter after taking on production duties for 2013’s Outlaw Gentlemen And Shady Ladies and finding that all-important chemistry sparking in the studio, that’s meant explaining the above over and over again. After touching briefly on what I referred to as “the Anthrax question,” Rob proved a fascinating and engaging conversationalist… Read more…

Cabin Boy Jumped Ship – ‘Pathways’ [Review]

Imagine a musical four-corner cage match involving Asking Alexandria, Bring Me The Horizon, Periphery, and Enter Shikari. The results would be fucking chaotic – and they’d likely also sound a lot like Cabin Boy Jumped Ship.

Cabin Boy Jumped Ship aren’t looking to play sardines within an already cramped scene. They’re not trying to live up to someone else’s expectations, or Read more…

Devildriver Trust No One Album Review 2016 Dez Fafara Coal Chamber Austin D'Amond Mike Spreitzer Neal Tiemann Diego Ibarra

Put yourself in Dez Fafara’s shoes right now.

DevilDriver – the band you’ve been leading since 2002 – has undergone some heavy-duty lineup changes.

You’re talking a new guitarist (ex-Burn Halo axe slinger Neal Tiemann), bassist (Diego Ibarra, who previously worked with Wayne Static), and drummer (Austin D’Amond, formerly of Chimaira).

Your upcoming album, Trust No One, is also due to mark the end of the longest length of time between two DevilDriver albums to date.

It’s fair to say that this situation comes complete with Read more…

A year ago, Griever showed great promise as potentially shit-hot metalcore up and comers.

With their brand new Soul Searcher EP, these guys are delivering on that promise – and then some.

Sixx:A.M. – ‘Prayers For The Damned’ [Review]

Sixx AM Prayers For The Damned Full Album Review 2016 Nikki Sixx DJ Ashba James Michael Motley Crue

Prayers For The Damned is an album aimed at the underdogs of the world.

Nikki Sixx is a truly rare rock star, one willing to stand up for the downtrodden – whether they be up-and-coming musicians or, as made plain on Sixx:A.M.’s sophomore record, victims of abuse. Those of you in need of some rock ‘n’ roll-style motivation will find plenty of comfort and courage in Prayers For The Damned’s opening tracks Rise and You Have Come To The Right Place. Those songs get to the point immediately: If you’re going through some seriously harsh shit, you’re not alone.

Prayers For The Damned feels not just like a hard-rock/glam-metal showcase – although it definitively is that – but more akin to Read more…

Haken – ‘Affinity’ [Review]

Haken - Affinity Album Review 2016

Authentic originality is hard to come by in music. Every style comes complete with its own formula, and countless bands follow their respective recipes in lockstep with each other. The result? Bland, beige sameness.

Even in the prog world, copycat clone bands abound. One band brings a unique style to the table, and scores of followers follow it down to the last EQ notch on a guitar amp. Finding something fresh, new, and interesting can be a tough slog at times.

If you’re bored of soundalikes, Haken are here to save your day – and possibly Read more…
