CERI JUSTICE – Walk In Shadow
Thunder [is] perhaps the pick of the album for me. It traverses different moods, alternating laid-back calm with dramatic, sweeping majesty in a beautiful study in contrasting emotional heft.

Farewell, Alan White
It's no small feat to seamlessly assume the drum throne from one of the true greats of the classic progressive rock era.

Crematory – Inglorious Darkness (Napalm Records)
Celebrating their 31st year together as a band, German gothic metal institution Crematory are back with their 16th studio album, coming out tomorrow via Napalm Records. Back in 2020, I was far from impressed with their latest release Unbroken, so this time, understandably, my expectations are moderate for Inglorious Darkness. One of the setbacks of..

A-tota-so – Lights Out
Midlands based math-rockers a-tota-so are back though not quite as "mathy" as you might remember them. When COVID19 hit the UK and the never ending lockdowns and lack of support for the music industry started signalling the end of live music for what many thought might be a very long time, a-tota-so decided to change..
