Having faded to near obscurity after a decade on the scene and numerous line-up changes. Lorna Shore rewrote the deathcore rulebook when they bounced back in 2022. Revitalised by the addition of vocalist Will Ramos. Their last album, Pain Remains left a high watermark that can still be seen now. High above the imitators that…
There would normally be an extensive preamble on the part of myself or other writers, providing a long term backstory, recent history or just straight simply setting up a feature of the band and why the upcoming release is such a big deal and that the future of the bands success hinges upon it. On…
Bring Me The Horizon’s ‘Summer of Becoming’ culminates in a triumphant headlining set in Brabham Park Despite the grey, heavy skies that signal the start to the Sunday morning, just as the first bands are due to hit the various stages around the arena. The sun floods the site, soaking the field of tiredand hungover…
After an action-packed night. Mostly spent screaming ourselves hoarse at Camp Midgards bin jousting (you’re our boy, Tom and don’t you forget it!). It takes the promise of German power metal upstarts, Feuerschanwz (8) to beckon us away from the campsite and into the arena. A move that turns out to be well justified, even…
Still filled with excitement from last nights knockout set from Trivium, we’re up bright and early on Saturday morning. Ready to make our first trip of the weekend over to the Sophie Lancaster stage.

Friday at 2000Trees truly is turned out to be spent at The Forest Stage. Acting as a perfect bit of respite from the sun and some down time from the shade kicking Julia Wolf pulls in a huge crowd. With a stunning ethereal gazey energy about her, the forest is the most gorgeous setting for…
Like a vampire feasting on the blood of a fresh victim. Hellfest founders Ben Barbaud and Yoann Le Nevé must be revelling in the tears and reproaches of their detractors this week. After Machine Gun Kelly Babymetal, and Foo Fighters raised eyebrows for being “not metal enough” in years gone by. We were surprised to…
The third album by Sinsaenum has been a long time coming. While work had tentatively started in 2021, the sudden death of drummer Joey Jordison meant that progress on 2018’s Repulsion for Humanity swiftly ground to a halt for several years, and it was unknown if Sinsaenum would even continue without such a key figure…
The party may have already started for those lucky Wednesday 2000Trees 2025 attendees, but Thursday marks time for the festival to “Officially” open for everyone. The challenge now comes to unload the car, get your camp set up, and grab your wristband… all before the stellar line up kicks off at 10:30am (even earlier if…
