Listmania is back again with Metal Hammer posting their list of “The 50 Best Riffs Ever”. The format is an interesting one with current Metal Scene musicians talking about each pick. There are more than a few surprises in the Subgenre and generation spanning list which sees the likes of Progressive Tech-Metal pioneers SikTh alongside
For anyone who hasn’t heard them already, Sumerian Records have released a pair of the tracks from the Metal Hammer “Tribute to Avenged Sevenfold” album that appeared a couple of months back. You may remember us asking Harbinger vocalist Tom Gardner about their experiences in our post-Upsurge Festival interview. For Sumerian Records part, they have
Music is full of opinion. It brings people together but it also creates division. Who’s better than who? Who’s the best at this? Who sounds better than that? Metal Hammer produced a list of their “best new music” from rock and metal in the last 14 days which… frankly, we disagreed with. We’re Metal Hammer
We had the pleasure of having a pint with Harbinger frontman Tom Gardner at Upsurge Festival and were lucky enough to get him to agree to answer a few questions for us in the first of a new series of exclusive interviews. We’re big fans, having seen the band on tour with Loathe and then putting
In the Red corner… London Metallers Counting Days have always been fans of Slipknot. Guitarist Curtis Ward recorded a cover of “Eyeless” before he departed Bring Me The Horizon. So little surprise when his new band decided to do a version of “(Sic)”, also from the bands self-titled major label debut released in 1999 via

It’s that time of year again. Metal Hammer Magazine have put out their 50 albums of the year so far for 2018, which you can read here. We’re not huge fans of massive lists, 5 or 10 for a 6 month review seems like plenty to us, but fair play there are some honourable mentions
Metal Hammer Magazine’s online edition have put out a list of their 10 best thrash songs (from 1986-89). While all the usual suspects are present and correct, including the Big Four of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and of course Anthrax, there are some glairing omissions. Here are 5 we think are worthy of note; 1. “The Toxic
Time for a classic. Arlington Texas quartet Pantera were without doubt one of the biggest bands in Metal. There influence is felt far and wide and when we’re still talking about a band whose run was from 1981 to 2003 some 15 years on, there must have been something decent about them. As of August 2017 they had sold 60 million albums World wide,
Denver Colorado Metalcore crew The Anchor are perhaps as famed for their music as a full band as they are for frontwoman Linzey Rae’s “Metal Kitchen” series. Returning to Deathcore heavyweights Suicide Silence for the second time in our series, in the red corner we have The Anchor covering the collosal “Unanswered”! And in the
