When we saw two of the foremost British thrash metal bands – aka the mighty Xentrix and Acid Reign, were playing the same bill with one of the latest British thrash metal bands Shrapnel we just had to be there to see what went down. Cue a trip to London’s Underworld venue in Camden Town…
Canterbury doom band, Famyne’s first, and self-titled EP is far from the retro tendencies that inevitably spring to mind when talking about doom. All three tracks might exhibit strong 70’s and 80’s elements, you’d have to be deaf to not hear Black Sabbath in the menacing build-up of opening track ‘Enter the Sloth’ but this…
Today is a long awaited day for Trivium fans – it’s release day for their brand new album Silence In The Snow. The seventh studio album of Trivium’s career was the focus of the first part of our interview with Trivium’s guitarist Corey Beaulieu at Bloodstock Festival, as he took us through a lot of…
It’s that time of year again; the festival blues are gone, you’ve deleted that annoying guy you drunkenly added on Facebook after her spent the entire night sitting in your camp chair and now?

Words by James Halstead and Nick Holmes, photos by Tess Donohoe. Another year, another Bloodstock and Team Rock Sins were there as usual to document all the action with possibly their biggest and most in-depth coverage yet! Here’s the first part of our review, covering the Thursday night headliners; Arnocorps and all of the Friday…
The annual Bloodstock Open Air Festival held at Catton Hall has always catered to the more extreme end of tastes with both a friendly and intimate atmosphere and a consistently fantastic lineup. This year is no different with death metal heavyweights Cannibal Corpse and Death To All making appearances alongside headliners Trivium, Rob Zombie and…

Unashamedly mid-000’s in its approach to metalcore ‘Deathless’ is executed very well although you can’t help but feel that Miss May I have taken a backward step creatively on this album. As…
