Artist: Amaranthe Album Title: Manifest Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 2 October 2020 Aaaarrrrrghhhh…how the hell does this band manage to do this to me every single time?

Artist: My Dying Bride Album Title: The Ghost Of Orion Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 6 March 2020 Let’s be honest, the very fact that My Dying Bride are still in existence in 2020 is something of a minor miracle. Lesser bands may have thrown in the towel when faced with the adversity that  Continue Reading »

Artist: The Night Flight Orchestra Album Title: Aeromantic Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 28 February 2020 You’d think that given my love of Soilwork and melodic rock music that The Night Flight Orchestra would be a total no-brainer for me. But the truth is that I’ve never really got into the band, despite the  Continue Reading »

Artist: Sylosis Album Title: Cycle Of Suffering Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 7 February 2020 This is the second album due to be released by Nuclear Blast on the 7th February this year.
