For Today - Prevailer E.P. (2013)

Good afternoon everyone. In my live review on Wednesday I promised to return with a review of the latest Jungle Rot album. However, due to another blog author in my area presumably seeing that statement and purposely writing a review before me (albeit a rather terrible one giving the band waaayyyyy too much credit, when let's be honest it's just Jungle Rot, they're not world changing.), I have chosen to review something else as I'd rather not look like some kind of dick. So here we have a brief review of Christian metalcore group For Today's latest E.P., Prevailer. Enjoy.

1. From Zion
2. Crown Of Thorns
3. Flesh & Blood
4. Open Heaven
5. Fearless (Acoustic)

Exit Ten - Norwich Waterfront - 21st February 2013

Now we have another live review, and even though I was at this gig, I've decided to let my friend Dave write the review as he wanted to give it a shot, so here it is, his review of one of our favourite bands, Reading metalcore geniuses Exit Ten!

Parkway Drive + Emmure & The Word Alive - London Roundhouse 17th November 2012

Before I start let me just state that while the rest of the gig went absolutely fucking horribly as I will explain below, I plan to stay as unbiased and professional as possible when discussing the bands and their performances. Please be aware that I am not attacking anyone in my article below, I am merely relaying my experiences from the other night in an attempt to inform and educate.

And now, to business...

Parkway Drive - Atlas (2012)

After a few days of quiet writing, we have Aaron's review of Parkway Drive's latest, the simply titled "Atlas". But first, as a big Suicide Silence fan, Aaron would like to leave his own personal message regarding Mitch Lucker's passing from this world.

Before I get started I’d like to offer my condolences to the friends and family of Mitch Lucker, the late vocalist of Suicide Silence. Mitch was cruelly taken from us at 28 when he lost his life in a tragic motorcycle accident. I’ve always been a huge fan of Suicide Silence and one of my greatest regrets was that I never had the privilege of seeing them live. His vocals were among the best in the business, with a screaming range that was particularly impressive and made Suicide Silence a standout band in their genre. The Metal community will forever remember and miss you and it breaks my heart that his daughter Kenadee will grow up without her Father. R.I.P Mitch.

And now without further ado, the main reason you're all here.
