Not so long ago, there was a rash of bands playing unbelievably technical heavy metal, constructed with turn-on-a-dime time signatures and atonal guitar riffs, and driven by drummers that had to be as studied in the ways of Buddy Rich as they were in the school of Dave Lombardo. Bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan stood near the top of that pile while a lot of copycats came and went. Following that trend, a lot of metal bands went in the exact opposite direction, tuning their guitars as low as they could and riding single note breakdowns a la [...]

The lesson of this week's Neilstein Soundscam is that no matter how old something is, how many times it's been re-released and re-packaged or how badly it's been re-recorded, if a song was popular once there's always going to be people willing to shell out for it again. Especially if it's in the movies (or [...]

What started as a ska/punk club night in Leeds in 2007 has grown exponentially over the years into a staple part of the festival calendar. Held each year over the May Bank Holiday, Slam Dunk takes over Leeds and Hertfordshire universities on consecutive days to thousands of fans of hardcore, pop-rock, punk and metal. Eight stages of acts from across the world grace Hatfield on this sun-soaked Sunday to an army of baying fans who are queuing for hours in the dizzying heat to get to the front from the start. In [...]

At this year's Slam Dunk South Festival I caught up with Sam Carter and Tom Searle from the Brighton bruisers Architects for a quick talk about guest vocalists, the departure of guitarist Tim Hillier-Brook and tripping on DMT. You played Slam Dunk North yesterday, how was that for you? Sam: We really enjoyed it. Really fun. Tom: Like we've been saying to everyone – we get here at 10.30 in the morning [...]

We get that metal people are not a target audience for that Rock Of Ages jive, just as we know that the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise did not covet the historians of high-seas pirates demo. Same deal. With that knowledge, a metal dude's mild buttrage at its overall pussyness might dissipate into a faint cloud of lulz at its [...]

Oh God, Meshuggah was last night and I'm so hung over. Make it stop! New music from Dying Fetus, Stray From The Path, Architects and a music video from Serj Tankian coming up... Another new Dying Fetus track, "From Womb To Waste" has made it's way online, right now on Altpress.com. If you're waiting for ...

Architects Daybreaker Century Media 28 May 2012 by Raziq Rauf After 2011’s ambitious but slightly unfulfilling The Here And Now , the UK’s premier tech metallers, Architects are back already with their fifth album, Daybreaker . And it’s really fucking good. After the discordant chimed beginnings of opening song, ‘The Bitter End’ , the album builds and builds until the jarring siren riffs of ‘Alpha Omega’ make me want to learn some sort of [...]

To celebrate this year's Kerrang! Awards fuelled by Relentless Energy Drink, Kerrang! Magazine is hosting three exclusive London shows in June with three of the hottest rock acts in the land!

Remember when we said earlier today that we had two galleries of photos from this month's Architects UK tour? Well, here are the second lot - this time c/o of Thrash Hits' latest photographic recruit, Gobinder Jhitta . Rather than blanket our frontpage with shots of Sam Carter and co. from Architects, we figured we'd break it up a little bit by headlining this post with one of Gobinder's shots of Eva Spence, who you know doubt already know is the frontwoman with Sheffield [...]

When Brighton metalcore-ish types, Architects , went on tour across the UK earlier this month, we didn't just have one photographer covering it. Oh no. We had two . In the first batch of shots we've got from the tour, we're bringing you the snaps taken by the mighty Gary Wolstenholme , from when the tour rolled in to the Sheffield Corporation. Given that the main support on the tour came from perennial Thrash Hits favourites, Rolo Tomassi , (with Stray From [...]

ARCHITECTS (UK) is preparing for the release of their highly anticipated, crushing new album, Daybreaker , on June 5. To give fans a taste of what to expect, the band has just released a lyric video for a new song off Daybreaker, "These Colours Don't Run". "We wanted a video that captures the madness that is America, be it good or bad. It's an overload of information that matches the intensity of the song. Hopefully it gets people thinking and talking" , explains guitarist Tom Searle , [...]
