Return UK rockers Cats in Space return with their inimitable variety of pomp, glam, melody and outstanding musicianship. Atlantis provides all those elements in spades, along with the expected lyrics reflecting the society in which we live today.

Meager Having released a meager four full-length studio albums in 37 years Mindless Sinner have managed the remarkable feat of putting out two in the same year.

Founded in 2010 by guitarist Filippa Nassil, and after the release of two quality albums, 2017 proved to be a watershed time. All the band members decided to leave (did they fall or were they […]
Ego Hot on the heels of his killer solo debut album Egomania, Hank von Hell is back in the saddle with the jauntily titled Dead. Best known as the lead singer of Norwegian death-punk outfit Turbonegro, Hank von Hell and the band put things on ice in 2010 after the frontman spent a period in […]
Hard Work High Spirits’ creator Chris Black has got to be up there as one of the hardest working people in rock or metal. He seems to have boundless energy and a talent to match. As the only person involved in the whole recording project he plays all the instruments, sings, produces, engineers and everything […]
Blueprint To bastardize a classic Slade track, “Pleeze me, Sleeze Me” is to describe perfectly what The Midnight Devils have laid out before us.
