Artist: My Dying Bride Album Title: A Mortal Binding Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 19 April 2024 When a band can boast no fewer than fourteen albums over a career spanning nearly 35 years, it’s inevitable that different fans will have different favourites.

It’s not the first country to spring to mind when thinking about heavy music, especially the kind  Continue Reading »

Artist: Replicant Album Title: Infinite Mortality Label: Transcending Obscurity Date of Release: 12 April 2024 2024 definitely feels like it’s the year that my tastes get even heavier and more extreme.

Artist: Witch Vomit Album Title: Funeral Sanctum Label: 20 Buck Spin Date of Release: 5 April 2024 Being the weak human that I am, I finally succumbed to the increasing chorus of positivity surrounding this album and checked it out. What initially put me off was the name of the band which didn’t necessarily inspire  Continue Reading »

Artist: Protosequence Album Title: Bestiary Label: Lacerated Enemy Records Date of Release: 5 April 2024 I’m not sure what’s going on in Canada at the moment, but alongside encouraging pedestrians to use fake bricks in Vancouver in an effort to get cars to stop at crossings, there seems to be one hell of a steady  Continue Reading »
