If Bring Me The Horizon is serving the “Kool-Aid,” we’re guzzling it down. The UK titans have officially issued their first new single of 2024 and the first new music since their longtime keyboardist/percussionist Jordan Fish parted ways with the group last month.

From the intricate riffs and crashing breakdowns to the commanding drive of the drums, every element converges into a powerful listening experience. Oli Sykes‘ guttural screams and captivating vocals soar above it all,… Read more »
Knocked Loose has unleashed the hammering lead single, “Blinding Faith,” from their freshly announced forthcoming album You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To.

The band masterfully pummels listeners with two minutes and fifty-seven seconds of crushing, relentless arrangements and piercing lyricism highlighted by breakdown “The word becomes the law/The word becomes the law/Bend the knee/Child of God.” Speaking on the… Read more »

When Casey announced their split at the tail-end of 2018, there was an expectation that we would never hear from them again. Putting to bed an emotional whirlwind of a five-year career, their music captured a particular intensity that many bands never even get close to achieving. Though following their instincts and allowing themselves to reconvene, 2022 signaled a new chapter for the five-piece. That started as a handful of shows at the beginning of 2023, alongside a pair of tracks in “Great Grief” and “Atone,” summing up the feelings of getting to know each other again. It has now… Read more »

It’s not FELICITY’s “Last Christmas” by any means, as they have released a cover of the Wham! classic just in time for the holidays. The single is out via Zodhiac Records and takes a grittier approach to the jolly, poppy track that the late George Michael put his mark on. Guitarist Drew Rapier says they wanted to put out a cover of their favorite Christmas song as a gift for their fans. “It’s one that we’ve always played acoustically at Christmas parties or for our families.
