This is the most ripped-off Metalcore record of all time. This is one of the top three metal records of the nineties. This record is the reason the melodic Death Metal subgenre exists and is the innovating sound behind the extreme europian scene as we know it today. “Slaughter of the Soul” is so forward-thinking...

Sound City
It's 2007. I’m in a soaking wet field in Staffordshire at V Festival. My friend Detta had got a tip about a band that we had to see called 606. None of us, her included, had heard of 606. We didn’t know what they did, who they were, or what we were letting ourselves in... Continue Reading →

Reviewed – Passion Flower – Picture Perfect
Rating 4.5/5 Passion Flower, hailing from Warrington UK, brings us nostalgic, but modernised sounds of early 2000s emo and pop punk. The artist gracefully brings attention to the effects of mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, feelings of intense hopelessness, however contrastingly delivers the essence of love. ‘Picture Perfect’ is the first single from...
