Inspired by last weeks news that a new live album “Trouble And Their Double Lives” will be appearing via Napalm Records on 28th April from Extreme Metal Masters Cradle Of Filth, we’ve returned to arguably our favourite moment in the bands history in “Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych” from the underrated “Hammer Of The
Back in 2020 when Ozzfest was all the rage, a two part compilation of covers of Black Sabbath classics was put together titled “Nativity In Black” featuring the bands that made the events so great.

Time for a Metalcore classic to shake off the cobwebs of the post weekend blues and for that we have “Boneyards” from Byron Bay Australian titans Parkway Drive. One of the many highlights from 2007’s “Horizons“, produced, engineered and mixed by Killswitch Engage gutarist Adam Dutkiewicz it actually received mixed reviews from the critics as being
