Danny Carey (drums): "All these other bands are writing songs to do this or that, but our only concern is where we meet. When we get in that room, where it takes us, that’s where it goes. Four years ago when we were looking at this, I wanted to try to do a record that was one giant song." With a strong, clear message on the need to come together and stop living through systems that are inherently harmful to human beings, the rage in The Smell Of Ancient Dust and Raise The Flails is as constructive as it is incendiary - to become, as the band say themselves, “An inherently positive thing”. “Capitalism is horrendous and despicable and it’s important to be angry about it,” guitarist Fabian Devlin explained to Kerrang!. “But when you start internalising that it’s very easy to become extremely nihilistic – that’s not going to achieve anything. You have to try for something more. You should use that anger and frustration to try to build something.”

In the 21 years since Cult Of Luna emerged from the genteel Swedish university town of Umeå in an apocalyptic haze of sludgy distortion, the post-metal sect have built a considerable legacy of expanding their sonic horizons to incorporate layers of proggy mysticism and bowel-churning industrialism. Corey Taylor: “You either take advantage of what you’ve got going on now, embrace it and live in that moment, or you watch it fade away”Appearing complex is actually easy. But to explore and find something worth listening to in a fiddly idea, and then craft something that feels naturally grand from it without becoming conceited, is a talent and a skill of which Tool are true masters.” Read full review.

Posting about the album on social media, a statement reveals: “Saviors is an invitation into Green Day’s brain, their collective spirit as a band, and an understanding of friendship, culture and legacy of the last 30 plus years. It was at the beginning of 2019 when blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus revealed that the band’s forthcoming record could see the California pop-punk kings taking a step into uncharted territories. Silent Planet: “There were times we wondered if we should keep doing this… Now, we’re having new life breathed into us” If GosT’s existence to date has been largely spent lurking with sinister intent in the shadows of the darkest bits of synthwave’s club, being almost wilfully unattractive, then 2019 was the year they suddenly burst onto the dancefloor.With their third record, Baltimore’s Turnstile both furthered hardcore’s infiltration into the mainstream and reshaped the already-nebulous confines of the genre. GLOW ON was the five-piece’s most accessible set of songs to date, but driven by the same punk ideology as ever.

Seven years on from grandstanding debut This Is The Six, the wide world may have opened up for While She Sleeps, but so too have the stresses and strains of adulthood and life on the road. On top of albums, there’s also been a flood of amazing EPs and mixtapes: Mimi Barks’ gritty doom-trap on DEADGIRL, Heriot’s Profound Morality announcing them as one of the most promising new metal bands in Britain, mysterious synth duo Zetra casting a spell that’s sure to grow into something magnificent with their From Without EP, WARGASM continuing to aim high on EXPLICIT. And that’s to name only four. Their raucous, riotous, no-holds-barred live shows have helped Melbourne’s Amyl And The Sniffers become one of the most talked about bands on the planet. Somehow, their self-titled debut managed to catch that wild energy in the confines of a record without losing a single bit of bite or sweaty thrust.
