Fleshgod Apocalypse’s fourth full length album King is a stunning example of how to do symphonic death metal right. It’s an often beleaguered sub-genre, full of faux-classical pretentiousness yet Fleshgod have always managed to use their strings, choirs and other grandiose elements to great, chilling effect. King manages to take these theatrical aspirations to even…
Earlier this year, veteran symphonic metal outfit Therion undertook a UK tour that saw them stop off in Manchester. Rock Sins’ very own Sabrina Ramdoyal was on hand to capture the action with her camera on her Rock Sins debut, and judging by the evidence – we very much look forward to more of her…
History has a way of repeating itself; and such is the case with Lost Society’s latest effort: ‘Braindead’. With almost any thrash band, classic or modern, there comes a stage where playing faster and harder just isn’t possible. Some bands manage this well: Slayer successfully introduced elements of down-tuned guitars and nu-metal on God Hates Us All’…
After four years of steadily growing and growing as a band through The Union Of Crowns and Runes, one senses that 2016 is THE make or break year for Bury Tomorrow. Can their new album Earthbound help to elevate them to the same level as some of their peers (notably Architects, after the suggest of…
It’s a new year and that means new music from one of thrash metal’s most beloved bands! Big four favourites Anthrax are in full flow of the build up of their brand new album For All Kings and there’s now a second song from the album available for all of us to listen to! Titled…
“SLLLAAAAAAAAAAYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRR!”. The name alone immediately sparks memories of some of my most glorious live experiences; punching a man in the face to secure Lombardo’s drumstick is one of the proudest moments of my life. As that moment was for me, I am sure the reverse was true for somebody else when justice prevailed with an…
The rest of 2015 is going to be exciting times in the world of Sylosis. Ahead of their first UK arena dates next month where they will open for no less than Megadeth and Lamb of God (not to mention Children Of Bodom too), the Reading four piece have decided to warm up with a…
Nile are one of the biggest death metal bands on the planet. Recently I sat down with frontman Karl Sanders to discuss their upcoming album, metal festivals and Enya! Hi Karl, how’s it going? Hi I’m doing fine, yourself? I’m doing good thank you! Brilliant. So, What Should Not Be Unearthed is coming out in…
American death metal maestros Nile are currently gearing up for the release of their brand new album What Should Not Be Unearthed. As part of the build up they’ve released a brand new lyric video for one of the tracks from What Should Not Be Unearthed, the opening song which is called Call To Destruction….
Lamb of God’s seventh album, VII: Sturm und Drang shows that Lamb of God are far from being a creatively spent outfit. Many bands, on album number seven might be tempted to dial it in and stick to the tried and tested formula that has served them so well in the past. Not Lamb of…
