Rise 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Alkaline Trio continue to enjoy their heyday with the strong Blood, Hair and Eyeballs, their tenth album to date. The band's first ever album to be made with their new drummer Atom Willard (Rocket From The Crypt, Angels & Airwaves), this is both nominally and sonically a visceral album, a veritable oozing-forth of metallic-punkish blood and guts after a bloody groundswell built up over the long silence that followed 2018's Is This Thing Cursed?.

Review: Canadian progressive metalcore outfit Spiritbox have become one of the unlikely success stories of the past few years within the metal and hardcore spheres. With huge festival and touring slots and millions of streams, it's a wonder to think how far the members have come since their early days as part of the chaotic mathcore group iwrestledabearonce, with their increasing exposure contrasting greatly against their rhythmic and pummelling grooves as well as enigmatic frontwoman Courtney LaPlante's inhumane shrieks. Riding the rigid momentum of their 2021 debut full-length Perfect Blue into last year's Rotoscope EP, the band are set to capitalise on the now with another bombastic, vicious and succinct statement of intent with The Fear Of Fear. Six new tracks of technical heft and serene melodies, designed to keep the band at the centre of the metalcore conversation while LP2 slowly brews.
