EP Review: The Machinist – Towers (Self Released) The Machinist, the nihilistic, blackened, industrial death metal band have released their much-anticipated new EP, ‘Towers’.

Those coming in fresh might find themselves in disconcerting territory, courtesy of experimentation that turns a short EP into something grander and more noteworthy.

Once again, Ghorot impresses. Taking familiar genres and blending them together with precision and thoughtfulness. Yes, it is extreme, but it’s extreme with wide ranging appeal because there is so much going on.

Takedown Festival 2026 – The Review Takedown Festival 2026. My first official festival of the year and one that will take some beating. Not just because of an incredible bunch of bands, but because of how well organised it was.

Album Review: As Everything Unfolds – DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE? (Century Media Records) As Everything Unfolds will release their highly anticipated new album, DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE?, on April 10th via Century Media.

Bowed, but unbroken. Damaged, but not destroyed. As Everything Unfolds are back and with, arguably, their most important album to date.

OPVS NOIR Vol. 3 can sit proudly alongside Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 as a worthwhile listen. If you’ve loved everything up to this point, you will come away very satisfied.

Album Review: Broadside – Nowhere, At Last (Thriller Records) Pop rock/alternative rock band, Broadside will release their new album, ‘Nowhere, At Last’ on April 10th via Thriller Records.

More people will love this album than hate it. Especially as it is varied and so damn anthemic. When it hits, it hits and there are so many moments when it freaking hits.

Interview: Getting to Know Versa Versa, the progressive/post rock band, have been very busy over the past few years, and most recently released 'A Voyage / A Destination, Round Trip Edition'. In this interview, we get to know them a little better.

Album Review: Bodysnatcher – Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home (MNRK Heavy) ‘Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home’ is the fourth full-length from Melbourne, FL deathcore outfit Bodysnatcher. It is out on April 10th, 2026, via MNRK Heavy.

Ten tracks of absurdly heavy deathcore with manic groove and sounding utterly pissed off. It’s a ‘no gimmicks’ approach to the sound with one eye on the live side of things.

Horror Movie Review: Serial Rabbit 7: Critical Rabbit Theory (2023) Written and directed by Brett William Mauser (of course), Serial Rabbit 7: Critical Rabbit Theory brings an end to the epic Serial Rabbit franchise (for now) in absurd fashion.

Stick to the rule, and you’ll have fun with Serial Rabbit 7: Critical Rabbit Theory. The rule that you should never take a film like this seriously. Brett William Mauser never has, nor has any of the cast or crew, so why should you?

Album Review: Sugar Horse – Not A Sound In Heaven (Fat Dracula Records) Bristol-based experimental outfit, Sugar Horse, will release ‘Not A Sound in Heaven’, the band's 3rd studio album, on 10th April 2026 via Fat Dracula Records.

Love it, hate it, it’s Sugar Horse and it’s impossible to not pay attention to what they create.

Horror Movie Review: Serial Rabbit V: The Epic Hunt (2017) That’s it. We’ve hit the peak. There is no way that Serial Rabbit V: The Epic Hunt can be topped. It’s the most over the top, fourth wall breaking, campy, violent, and stupid entry in the franchise so far.

Horror Movie Review: Serial Rabbit 3: Splitting Hares (2009) If you go in expecting something good, you’re going to come away very disappointed. Serial Rabbit 3: Splitting Hares, and the franchise as a whole, is bad, but that’s the point.
